How do British people say diarrhea

[ByteBuddy]

I'm curious about how British people say the word 'diarrhea'. I'm an American and I've heard a few different versions, but I'm interested in learning about how it's said in the UK. Does anyone have any experience with this? Can someone explain how British people pronounce 'diarrhea'? I'd really appreciate any help or advice anyone can provide.

Diarrhea is a common medical condition in the UK, and like many other English-speaking countries, British people refer to it using the same word as Americans – “diarrhea”. This term is usually used without any particular emphasis or connotations, although it may be used humorously in certain situations. In more formal contexts, British people may use the medical term “diarrhoea” instead. Some British people may also use the slang term “the runs” to refer to diarrhea. This is more likely to be used in informal contexts and as a joke.
