    I’m sorry “cream knackered”?? Isn’t it cream crackered? Like the point is that it’s cockney rhyming slang for knackered which means tired, no?

    Lol i have never heard the word Bezzle and i’m English. Swear she researched them first. Or maybe just making them up? Blub definitely means to cry and the phrase is Cream Crackered, not cream knackered.

    For those who’ve never heard her British accent, watch her movie “Love, Rosie”.

      That’s not her real accent though, it’s put on for a movie so it’s not “her British accent”. Also there’s pretty much no such thing as a “British accent” because everyone in Britian has a different accent (Scottish, English, Welsh or Northern Irish!) Either way, she grew up in England and moved to LA and has a British dad 🙂

      @Jess “her” British accent “in the movie”. I’m very much aware of the different types of accents 😊
      My comment was just in response to the people who wanted to hear what it sounds like.

    It’s so weird hearing British slangs in a very harsh American accent. 😀

    She is really good at it and really helps to memorize those slang definitions by repeating them within the context

    Hearing an American mispronounce so many of these feels like nails on a chalkboard. Hahahahah.

    It’s cream CRACKERED. Knackered is what it means. Cream knackered is pointless

    Getting a Brit to explain these would make more sense if they didn’t grow up in the states for most of their younger life (particularly teen years when you tend to pick up slang)
