It is mate, yeah
Did you stop taking your meds again?
I binged like 12 seasons of Taskmaster recently and that’s definitely been in my brain alongside ‘You awright?’
Chris Ramsey’s geordie “Nooh weh” will live forever in my head
your time starts now
Ah yes, like the ubiquitously American “Howdy.”
He said “a british voice,” which it almost certainly would be with those words, just like the voice saying “howdy” in most peoples heads is American. It’s not saying all British people would say that.
Most Brits would know that as a Texan accent honestly but it’s a matter of semantics. I’m sure Americans realize “spot of tea?” and “chewsday” aren’t the same accent even if they sometimes use them a breaths away when depicting “the British” accent. If I was to depict “the American” accent I would say “Tomato”
There is only really the one british accent that’s ever depicted in our media/whatever media makes it over here, so I’m sad to say almost certainly we do not.
That’s why we only ever seem to imitate the one (or accidentally mix them, apparently). It’s the only example we’ve got and we assume everything is that one. I don’t know where any of those areas are any more than I know the sociological difference between them, and if I had to name any others, I don’t know what I’d do.
Tomato still has mild southern variations (“tuh-may-duh/ter-may-der,”) but it is a solid choice now that I think about it.
The two I suggested are "Received Pronunciation (RP)" which is considered a posher accent, and the London accent
How did they bloody well get away with that one?
Do you know how many times I heard growing up ain’t isn’t a word…
Thanks, now I have “ain’t ain’t a word and I ain’t gonna say it” in my head.
Might be nothing but it’s probably a good idea to see a doctor if you’re having trouble with continents.
Aaaaand now it’s in mine too.
I’ve been bingeing some Silent Witness and Unforgotten and, while Canadians use both Yank and Brit phrasing, I’ve reeeeally been rocking out the rhyming slang.
Like “Septic”, even when it’s someone else on the news.
as a brit I would assume “septic” meant masturbation in rhyming slang
I’ve always heard it from Brits and Australians to mean Americans.
Septic > septic tank > yank
Seppo is also an option
