'I'm American but needed a translator to understand 2 common British phrases'

Communication is key to any successful relationship. Being able to make your other half understand just what you mean is important so you're always on the same page, and to avoid any unfortunate misunderstandings . But when two people come from completely different cultures, this can be a struggle. A phrase meaning one thing to one person may mean something completely different to the other. One American woman who is married to a British man has outlined two things he says regularly which leave her confused . The woman, who posts on TikTok as corrinesarah, appealed to her followers for help to make sure she was understanding her husband correctly. She posted the clip with the caption: "Married a British man and now I need a translator." Opening the video, she said: "Two things I hear my British husband say all the time, and what they actually mean. "If a British man says 'that's interesting', he means he hates it. It's the worst thing ever. Toss it out, start over. Just no. "But if a British man says 'it's alright', that is like the highest compliment ever. He loves it, it's amazing, you won. Good job." Appealing to her followers for help, she concluded: "So, British people in my comments, tell me: am I right? Am I understanding him correctly? 'Cos I need help." Thankfully, commenters came through with their own advice on British sayings. One said: "'That's interesting' all depends on what happens afterwards. If he immediately starts talking about something else, he hates it. If he goes quiet for a bit and seems distracted, it really was interesting and he's devoting considerable brain power to analysing it in immense detail." Another said: "'That’s alright' is a polite way of saying it's fine, but it can be a lot better with improvement." And someone else wrote: "'Alright' could literally mean 100 different things tbh." A different user commented: "The highest compliment he can give you is telling you that you're 'a bit of alright'." corrinesarah replied: "He’s said that to me before." Someone else replied: "If he has said that to you, take it from me, he absolutely loves you." Another said: "If you ever suggest an activity or somewhere to visit, if he responds with 'yeah, we could do', that means that he does not want to do it." And someone else wrote: "'Not too shabby'= high praise." A different user commented: "The phrase you really want to hear is that something is 'not bad'. Peak compliment!"
