An American who moved to the UK has shared three British habits that initially 'gave him the ick' but which he now does himself. K Jordy, a vlogger originally from the US, first settled in Bristol before moving to London, where he now creates content about British life.
In a TikTok video, Jordy listed the habits he has adopted. The first is the British practice of adding kisses (x) at the end of text messages. 'I didn't really think there was a point of doing it, but then I started doing it, I start realising it just eases the text,' he explained, calling it 'British maths'.
The second habit is the 'tight lip half smile' often used by Brits when passing strangers. 'I vowed not to do it, but now I walk down the street and I see someone, it just creeps out,' he said, demonstrating the expression.
Finally, Jordy admitted that talking about the weather has become part of his personality. 'I'm the most sad about this, but the weather has become my personality,' he said, noting that when it hit 18 degrees in London, people wore t-shirts and shorts, but returned to normal when the weather changed.
