Did you stop taking your meds again?

[-] Suck_on_my_Presence@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

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

[-] ClockworkOtter@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] Ilflish@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

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.

Might be nothing but it's probably a good idea to see a doctor if you're having trouble with continents.

[-] WashedOver@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 years ago

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...

[-] acetanilide@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks, now I have "ain't ain't a word and I ain't gonna say it" in my head.

[-] DaCrazyJamez@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago

as a brit I would assume "septic" meant masturbation in rhyming slang

[-] TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I've always heard it from Brits and Australians to mean Americans.

Septic > septic tank > yank

Seppo is also an option

mm yes forbidden image
