What do they mean and why do they enjoy doing so?

It's just something they teach us in Brit Studies, at Brit School. It's just 'in' us, IYSWIM?

I actually cried out 'Bring Back Boris' instead of repeating my wedding vows to the registrar! She said she gets it all the time though

I chant it on the hour

We sing it at my choir group. Some of the harmonies are breathtaking.

They want Wiff-Waff home again.

TheAlcott · 17/09/2025 16:57

I say it every morning, whilst curtseying to his portrait.

Yes people were singing it when we were queuing up for the cafeteria in M and S today.

You have been asking lots of questions about Britain recently OP.
Are you doing research for the orange fart?

@Juliette96 was it a fever dream?

Wonderful sane Boris paid for us all to get a lobotomy with our Covid vaccinations. This means we all love him and think he is a Thoroughly Good Chap. We clap for him every afternoon at tea time too, just to remember the good old days of Covid. Extra points if you bang a pan on the doorstep in a rousing manner.
Huzzah.

An ample amount of Anglophones adore alliteration and accordingly acclaim the antics of appalling adulterers.

Presumably they liked Boris.

I recorded myself chanting it and set that as my alarm. Really nice way to start the day. I added the time in as well so I get woken up with, "It's six twenty am. Bring back Boris!".

AgnesX · 17/09/2025 17:08

Stupidity probably.

BeHappySloth · 17/09/2025 17:12

Loving the responses on this thread!

Davros · 17/09/2025 17:13

I love a good chant me. Don’t really care what it is. Lately I’ve been alternating between “bring back Boris” and 🎵 “celery, celery. If she don’t come I’ll smack her bum with a lump of celery” 🎶

TheAlcott · 17/09/2025 17:15

MBBA.

Make Britain Borisy-er Again.

Catchy, innit.

Allswellthatendswelll · 17/09/2025 17:15

We all get out on our doorsteps at 8pm on a Wednesday, bang our pots and pans and sing a lovely chorus of BBB.

BramStoner · 17/09/2025 17:16

Protesting for more Mussorgsky at the Royal Opera House?

BitOutOfPractice · 17/09/2025 17:18

Oh, it’s you again 🙄

TheOtherAgentJohnson · 17/09/2025 17:19

I scream it at the point of climax, as does my husband.

Bladderpool · 17/09/2025 17:19

My neighbour woke me up at 6am shouting this through her newly installed PA system, I should have been prepared as her hot tub parties have recently been attended by lots of husky men with white blond hair that looks like it was cut with a knife and fork. I guess she just has a type…

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 17/09/2025 17:21

When shouted by women of reproductive age, it's because they're hoping he'll return to talk about paying child support for the innumerable children he's fathered outside wedlock.

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 17/09/2025 17:23

They’re not British, they’re asylum seekers, pretending.
