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. 😉

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.
