Chard Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 (edited) A few accents grate on me but people (normally southern female student types) who put an upward inflection on EVERY SENTENCE so that it sounds like they're asking a question get right on my jubblies! Mark Got to agree with this. Everybody under about 30 talks like this now. Upward inflection at the end of every sentence. Absurd I often say "Is that a ******* question?" but they're too stupid to understand what I'm on about. Bellends I can't stand wigger speak either. That ***** DJ on the BBC makes me puke. What's his name - Woodward or something. White boy who wants to be a black boy and of course everybody under the age of 20 copies it, and most of them put a ******* upward inflection at the end, so you think you're being asked an unintelligible question by a Yardie :lol: Innit Edited August 19, 2010 by Chard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gully Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 I really hate that new inner city accent that has crept into this country in the last 10 years. It is like African English but has been adopted by whites too. Tinchy Stryder, Ali G and so called wiggers use it. Wikipedia call it Jafraican . Consists of dropped H s and sounds like you are talking through sewn up lips. I probably am a bit vague but you oldies will have noticed this stupid accent emerging. Its Jafaican, as in Fake Jamaican. I like it. I enjoy looking blankly as I'm spoken to in it. It is also very useful in avoiding awkward job interviews. Anyone who calls me up speaking it isn't going to get one! Working in London it amazes me that people understand each other. As a native english speaker I figure I've halfway to understanding people with other accents who are trying to speak it. I was in a take away the other day and a guy was shouting in some african version of english at the Turk behind the counter. I had no idea what the african was on about, but the Turkish guy seemed to understand completely. I run a business in the east end of London and almost all my indigenous white staff speak 'cockney'. Some of them say 'arks' instead of 'ask' and I can't work out where that comes from. Bad UK accents? Black Country, Scouse & Glasgow Nice ones - welsh, geordie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloke Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 (edited) Brummie, Manc, Scouser and Belfast - great people, but their accent grates on me. Favourites - West country, Dorset/Hampshire, or Geordie. Overseas - Hate the strong South African or "Way - No Way" USA college teen speak. Likes - Dutch, Greek or Southern States USA accents.

BertieLeBlanc Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 "Being from Essex and living on the Norfolk/Suffolk boarder I have no discernable accent" You do have an accent believe me, I was born in Essex and have lived all over the place including Spain, Italy and France. I work with South Africans, English, American, Hungarian, Spanish, French, Italians, Russians, Dutch, Danes etc etc. Ask them if you have an accent. The most interesting thing was the Spaniards who could understand my colleague from Glasgow's English better than mine. And I had trouble understanding him most of the time. I was told earlier this week that I sound like Tommy Walsh (Direct Line advert) which was a surprise to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSPUK Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 wo ja mean Brummie- we got the best .
