Yeah, as a non-native speaker, I've always considered that really weird too. Same with "well done", which is apparently worse than murder if you're enthusiastic about steaks 😄
Blue or Blue-Rare are the steps above rare afaik (at least in the US, not sure about England). Any restaurant that asks "what does that mean" isn't a restaurant I'd trust to serve me meat that is cool in the middle.
My first WTF moment with British English was walking into a restaurant & the hostess asked: “are you alright?”. “Do I have a bloody nose?” I quaked. Turns out it was just how folks say “what’s up?” as a hello there.
First time starting work in a London office it took me months to get used to the morning greeting: 'Rye?', which is just short for 'How are you doing, alright?'
Reminds me of the first time a friend of mine and his dad went to London. They were both more or less fluent, though his dad less so:
My friend's dad, trying to order an extra rare steak: "A bloody steak, please"
Waiter, without missing a beat: "Certainly, sir. Would you like some fucking potatoes with that?"
A steak joke is a rare medium well done.
... Fuck you aye?
Did ye aye
I mean it is kind of weird that “rare” is used to denote “barely cooked”, when it usually means “very scarce or hard to find”.
Haha this is amazing

Made my day
lol it’s a funny tweet. I don’t use twitter, but find joy in the cleverness and humor that people there spit out.
Would never use the app myself though. Screenshots on lemmy are as close to the rim of the volcano I’ll go.
It's a joke that's been going around online, OOP made up this janky setup to sound original.
... $100 says they're happier than you.
Stay happy my dude

to which she responded, "Yes of course you have a nose, but why are you cursing about it?"

Do you mean 'aight?' Rye is a bloody grain
you're bad at trolling
okay, but that made me laugh
ChatGPT looking ass
Are you alright?
...so they remembered a Twitter post in their dream, and posted that as if it was their joke?
Strangely enough, it's the same user. Makes it even weirder in a way
Voldemort: 😢
Wtf

bloody twat
Lando Norris be like
Hey, it won him the race.
How did a bloody nose win an F1 race?
You have to sacrifice a body part if you're not Max Verstappen (because his sacrifice was a visit to the gas station)
By being a twat, if my memory or no is is correct.
Major Kovalyov: "Am I a joke to you?"
