Bloody hell is more of a surprise thing, tbh
- 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?"
  
  british people talk like that because they always have a scrabble tile in their mouth
- Could be Indian?

Bloody eel

Americans: I have no accent.
Rest of the world: ...
- West Coast English is the least accented version of English in the world. It's a fact.

Oh for Jam-n-L!

My grandmother was always quick with a "bleedin' 'eck".

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.
  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 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.

L-jam

Americans when they have to pronounce "tt" in the mi'dd'le of a word:
