Brits divided over King Charles' Coronation nickname – From Cory Bobs to Corrie Norrie

It's almost time for King Charles III's Coronation, which officially takes place on Saturday May 6. It's a time for Royal fans all around the globe to come together to mark a momentous occasion.

But it's not just the royal fans who are overjoyed – because King Charles has declared an extra bank holiday for it on Monday May 8, which means most Brits get an extra-special three-day weekend.

In honour of the excitement and joy many people feel for the King and Queen Consort's Coronation, TikTok user @joeefoster has come up some hilarious abbreviations that bring us right back to platty joobs, a genius term coined by actor Kiell Smith-Bynoe last summer.

Taking to TikTok, Joe said: "If you're struggling for ways to abbreviate the King's Coronation, as we do as Brits, look no further. I've got you."

Joe said that his "brain chemistry" was altered forever by the term "Platty Joobs", so he wants to "keep it going this year" by coming up with some iconic phrases.

Coming in at number one is Cory Bob, which Joe explains is a "spin on the classic Holy Bob". He continued: "You can add an S on the end. You can use it in a sentence, I'm on my Cory Bobs."

If you need a bit of help pronouncing, the language team at Atom Learning have you covered. They said: "A spin on the classic phrase, 'holy bob', it is pretty much pronounced how it sounds and you can add an 's' on the end.

Joe's second phrase is the Cory Nash, which he says is "simple and rolls of the tongue" and thinks "it's going to be the winner".

This is pronounced Co-rrie Nay-sh, which the language experts say will be a "lot easier for Southerners to grasp and may get a few funny looks if said up North".

Joe added another "rogue" suggestion to the list – Chazzle Dazzle. Using it in a sentence, he said: "'Oh, what time does the Chazzle Dazzle start? Oh, it starts at 11 o'clock'. Not sure I love it, but I could use it." The pronunciation of this is 'Chaz-el Daz-el'.

Other suggestions in the comment section of the TikTok video included Corrie Norrie, Corry Nay-Nay, Corry Natty and King's Cozzy.
