Americans Struggle To Understand What A “Cheeky Nando’s” Is And Naturally The Brits Are Loving It

There’s nothing quite like a cheeky Nando’s on a Friday night, or any time for that matter. Except for, perhaps, taking the piss out of our friends across the pond.

The social media furore all started out with an innocent enough question:

WHAT IS A CHEEKY NANDOS??? IT SOUNDS LIKE A CANDY WH A T??

We sympathise. Really, we do. British culture is tough to understand. And like the mystery of “lad culture” or the importance of forming orderly queues, the concept of a “cheeky Nando’s” has everyone in the US stumped.

As expected, we helpful Brits have rushed to the rescue of our poor Yankee cousins.

Ok, maybe that wasn’t so helpful. But this one definitely is.

Or not.

Oh great. Now we have to explain what “extra cheeky” means.

When you ask for a glass of water so you can get free soft drinks to make the nandos extra cheeky #cheekynandos

Must. Resist. The. Urge. To. Ridicule.

Maybe pictures will help?

Don’t you people know politics will only make things worse?!

So in summary:

We give up. Maybe this ode to Nando’s by Ed Sheeran will help make the peace.
