      This comment is how I got the joke.

      I was thinking the joke was that they cut their tongue on a scrabble tile. I was like *why would it be in their mouth?"

    Bruh ive been thinking about for like 5 mins i dont get it. Where does the “hel” part come from. I feel so stupid because the moment i saw the picture i already knew it would be bloody hell but i just cant figure out where the missing letters come from.

      The meme is inaccurate, brits would indeed pronounce the “he” in hell as well, if educated. Many dialects see “blohdy 'ell” (phonetically written) or some variation of it, as common.

      So I understand your confusion, but there’s order in the chaos. Always is. 😉

        I think the meme is saying we’re all cockneys from a Mel Gibson film and not Scots, Welsh, Yorkshire, Midlands, Lancashire, Home Counties, Northern Irish, Cornish, Dwarvish, etc etc.

        if educated

        I mean everyone was educated if they were in school after 1947 in the UK, which is where the idiom you use comes from.

        Many British accents drop /h/ as accent is no longer a certain indicator of class, plus, code switching is a thing. I consider myself pretty well educated and will drop my aiches in most contexts except formal.
