Slang

Kind of inspired by the Canadian Accent thread. Every country has a language they speak, and within that language there is inevitably going to be slang. It could be small like not pronouncing the t at the end of a word, or something bigger. What kind of slang words/ phrases circle around you? Do you use them?

There are things like cockney slang;

SLANG

I ball of chalked up the apples after 'avin an ol' steak to go to Uncle Ned when I heard a girls and boys in the next room. I took me this and that and had a butchers. It was just the semolina all jack jones.
NORMAL

I walked up the stairs after having a steak and kidney pie to go to bed when i heard a noise in the next room. I took my cricket bat and had a look. It was just the cleaner all alone.



This is seldom used but occasionally certain phrases are still used such as butchers. And to anybody who can understand that, well done!


Now what we hear more often is chav slang. :rolleyes: They say words like "innit" for no reason. And call each other "blud". There is a lot more. Of course, not all people talk like that but it is insufferable.
