Who is disrespecting the term “Blighty” I see people questioning it’s common usage in 2025 i see people calling out organisations who use it to scam people but the term Blighty itself? Nope “we r” in front of anything does add context mind you -
"Blighty" is a British slang term for Britain or England, ultimately derived from the Urdu word "vilāyatī," meaning "foreign" or "European," according to Wiki, and was mainly used in the 19th Century and then WWI. It is thus a non English loan word. But I'm sure you knew that.
