Is everyone going on their ‘cory bobs’?
Many will remember the ‘platty joobs', a term coined by actor Kiell Smith-Bynoe last summer in relation to the Platinum Jubilee of Elizabeth II. Now, TikToker @joeefoster has come up with some abbreviated phrases of his own.
The video, captioned “I’m on my corribobs babe”, has received 1.1million views, as the TikToker shared some humorous abbreviations Brits can use to refer to the Coronation. After spotting this viral video, the language team at Atom Learning have revealed exactly how to pronounce them.Pronunciation - ‘Co-rrie Bob’
This is a spin on ‘Holy Bob’, a classic phrase referring to holidays. It is pretty much pronounced how it sounds and you can add an ‘s’ on the end. An example of a sentence can be, “I am on my Cory bobs”.This is a simple one that rolls off the tongue, following the platty joob vibe. This may be the most popular phrase come Saturday.Even the King’s name is not safe from slang with this term.
A spokesperson from Atom Learning said: “General ‘memeification’ of language is popular with younger generations, however it seems older generations are also beginning to follow suit. Brits have always used ‘slangy’ language but now these novel phrases and trends can spread so much quicker, and to so many more people, than they did 25 years ago thanks to the internet - and social media in particular.
They added: “Not only do phrases spread like wild fire, but they then remain a part of a person's everyday language. For example, people are continuing to refer to places like Primark as ‘Primarnie’ and McDonalds as ‘Maccy Ds’. It is interesting to see just how much the British language has evolved, and how humourous colloquialisms have become a big part of British culture.”
