This Brit’s unlikely praise for an American TikToker kicked off a voyage of linguistic discovery that will make you proud to be British

Like us, you may not have come across Kalani Smith before. Going by the name of Kalani Ghost Hunter (KGH), the TikTok and much else besides star is a food reviewer who has made it his mission to show the world that British food is not all bad.

And we mention him because of this particular piece of praise which came his way on Twitter.

I like that fat yank mosher that goes around trying English food. Good guy.

And it prompted lots of responses, many of them from people who felt exactly the same.

Saw him get livid at the end of a Chinese take out review, he thought everything was amazing but ultimately shat on the entire review because they didn’t chuck in Prawn crackers for free he’s basically one of us now tbh

Love the British trait that even when we are praising a yank we have to get an insult in as just to lower them a few pegs before their ego increases

But the best response came from the man himself.

This is actually the nicest compliment you’ll receive from an Englishman.

I’m honored https://t.co/qlE97YMC56

What have I learned from my time in the UK?

1. To tell people to fuck off more often

2.The word cunt can also be used positively

3. The words piss and bollocks have about 50 meanings each.

Thanks for coming to my Ted talk

It just rolls off my tongue naturally, and I get some death stares

Also if you add '-ed' to almost any word it means being drunk
e.g. pissed, plastered, trollied, hammered, spannered, bladdered, mullered, wasted, cabbaged, sloshed, tanked, wrecked, etc etc etc-ed!!!
