      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?"

      West Coast English is the least accented version of English in the world. It’s a fact.

      The meme is inaccurate, brits would indeed pronounce the “he” in hell as well, if educated.

      However; 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. 😉

        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.

          I’m not local to the UK, just educated. As everyone else, we too have a common dialect and many local variants.

          I most often prefer to use common, for understanding. We’re all common in some way or another after all. 🙂

        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.
