Vuncle205&#8217;s videos include paying his barber to give him a &#8216;Scouse trim&#8217; and eating fish and chips while dressed in a Montirex set and Nike 110s.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">On his social media accounts, which boast over 250k followers, Vuncle, from Alabama, calls himself an &#8220;American charva&#8221; and the &#8220;first American to ride a Sur-Ron, wear Montirex, pair of 95s, and have a Scouse trim&#8221;. The young man has taken inspiration from the style, slang and customs of Liverpool and the UK.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Speaking to <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.liverpoolecho.co.uk\" target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">the ECHO<\/a> about what piqued his interest in British culture, he said: &#8220;There were these \u2018charva\u2019 memes which were really popular a couple of months ago, which originated in Bradford and everything. They were hilarious. I started doing the same thing &#8211; making jokes and talking in the UK slang.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;I\u2019ve had a lot of people helping me decide what to get to become a real \u2018charva\u2019 &#8211; a real UK citizen. They told me to get Montirex, so I did, and then Montirex ended up sending me out some stuff. I\u2019ve got Stone Island too.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;One of the big things that I got was the \u2018Scouse trim\u2019. I live streamed it and it got like 3000 active viewers which was just insane. I grew out the Scouse trim and people were like: &#8216;Vuncle, where\u2019s the Scouse trim? You\u2019ve got a ketwig now.&#8217; I might have to get it again.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Content cannot be displayed without consent<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">In a recent video, Vuncle tried fish and chips for the first time. In it, he says: &#8220;All f**kin&#8217; reet mush, let&#8217;s try fish and chips for the first time. I got catfish and I got chips. [The server] asked if it was &#8216;fries&#8217; and I was like, &#8216;What are fries bro?'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">After trying the fish with some tartare sauce, he said: &#8220;Bossman got me straight. I&#8217;m not gonna lie, this sh*t&#8217;s gas!&#8221; He called it &#8220;banging&#8221; and rated it &#8220;a solid six out of ten&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">However, many in the comments section weren&#8217;t happy with his meal, with one person stating: &#8220;UK fish and chips is unreal. That&#8217;s an oven job, that&#8221;. Another said it looked &#8220;nothing like English fish and chips&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Vuncle told <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.liverpoolecho.co.uk\" target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">the ECHO<\/a>: &#8220;I most definitely did not try the right type of fish and chips. I liked it but people in the comments were saying it wasn\u2019t real fish and chips. They said I need to go to \u2018bossman\u2019 and he\u2019ll get me straight with some proper fish and chips and some curry sauce or whatever.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Fish and chips isn&#8217;t the only British classic that Vuncle has tried in recent months. In fact, he&#8217;d just made his first ever full English breakfast when he spoke to <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.liverpoolecho.co.uk\" target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">the ECHO<\/a>. He described it as &#8220;the greatest thing ever,&#8221; adding: &#8220;I\u2019m gonna have this every day for the rest of my life mate!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">He also explained how beans on toast has become a regular part of his diet: \u201cI\u2019ve had beans on toast. Beans on toast with some pepper on it? Oh my gosh &#8211; I was snackin\u2019!<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;I cook up some beans on toast when I\u2019m hungry in the morning, with some eggs. It\u2019s become a part of my routine. It\u2019s something nice and quick which you can cook up in five minutes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Vuncle&#8217;s favourite thing about British culture is the music. He said: &#8220;Before doing all these TikToks, I\u2019d been listening to a lot of EDM and house music &#8211; I love the passion the UK has for house music. It\u2019s actually insane.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Content cannot be displayed without consent<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">His favourite UK slang? Unfortunately it isn&#8217;t a Scouse word, but one more commonly heard in the south of the country. He said: &#8220;My favourite UK slang has to be \u2018mush\u2019. I\u2019ll say it and people will tell me Scousers don\u2019t say that, but come on dude &#8211; I\u2019ve been saying it for such a long time and it\u2019s just in my vocabulary. I catch myself just saying it with my friends and I\u2019m like, \u2018What is going on?\u2019&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">While some might not appreciate Vuncle perpetuating stereotypes, he says most people have reacted positively to his content. He added: &#8220;What I realised with content creation is that you get a lot of love &#8211; especially when you have good intentions. Obviously, you\u2019re going to get some hate in there but I don\u2019t really get phased by the hate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;80-90% of people support me and think that I\u2019m funny. It\u2019s light-hearted and genuine, and I do this for the love of the game. I love making content and making other people smile.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"You might have seen Vuncle205&#8217;s videos on your social media in recent weeksVuncle205 (left) and his crew dressed&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":206845,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8815],"tags":[748,393,4884,179,15067,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-206844","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-liverpool","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-liverpool","12":"tag-on-tiktok","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114730917471045864","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/206844","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=206844"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/206844\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/206845"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=206844"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=206844"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=206844"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
