Jennifer Neale Wagwaan is Jamaican- My culture. Also Ting, Rahh, and Bredrin! England peeps just adopt what we have. It’s okay learning it and joining in but it isn’t “English”. Most of you didn’t even know what it was at first and grew livid hearing “Black” people use all slang all the time. Black inherited- then Jamaican adopted. It’s mostly Roadmen talk in england = black males. Everyone else follows.
I think it’s the R.P accent that American’s think of. They don’t realise we all have different accents. Even in my house we have three different accents even though we were all born in the same county.
That’s the same with any country. Chances are, when you think American accent, you think LA or deep south. There are a lot more accents other than those 2, but they’re the most common and well known, especially when portrayed in media. That’s why all Americans think we speak Queen’s English. There aren’t many films which have British accents which aren’t posh London.
@inediblealex25 the difference between old school slang of the 70s and 80s compared to modern slang is 1. it was wittier, 2. it used real words and 3. it generally sounds more approachable and sociable, I'm 27 and most of the speech patterns I use are old school slang, if you watch The Bill in the 80s its full of it, it sounds so British.
I thought he said "teeth",yet another generalisation. i worked with an American recently who had never been to the UK before and he was astonished we DIDNT all have bad teeth and wear bowler hats and everyone carried an umbrella.

@@globalgears5175 they said nothing abt validation chill, this obvi abt seeing diff cultures/ stuff they're not used to esp since they assumed british ppl dont even have slang.
Blame the media industry. All we import is Downtown Abbey, The Crown & War movies. Films & TV about Black British culture are hardly made. You'll see black faces, but never in a black context. The only examples I can think of Kidulthood & Blue Story and those are specifically about the road life. What about girls like me who grow up in estates but go to university? I have never seen that before. Because roles where black Brits go about their daily lives are virtually non - existent, actors like Daniel Kaluuya have to take American roles & American viewers do not discover they are British until they see them on Jimmy Fallon. There is a bit of green on the horizon though. British director Steve McQueen is directing a BBC series called Small Axe which is set during 1980s England I believe with John Boyega & Letitia Wright as major characters. It is about time.

Genuine question: Do people genuinely think all British people have the stereotypical "British accent" even though it isn't a thing. I don't know anybody at all that speaks like that I'm English incase people are wondering
Nah, there's a lot of 'em; Sean Connery, Gerard Butler, Ewan Mcgregor, NI-accent, London, Wales, Hugh Grant, Mike Skinner, Liam Gallagher, Madonna... Did I forget any? 😳
😀 I am having serious issues actually understanding what they are saying. Talking far too quickly and using slang themselves. I need subtitles......maybe just showing my age!
I think he means of the things he thinks about in general (like fall and fashion), he never really thinks about what we say here in the UK. That's how I took it anyway :)
disappointed they didn’t include: “Battyfish” “Leng” “I’ll bust your ‘ead open/I’ll bop your head.” “You’re ‘ard.” “Don’t be tight/ That’s peak.” “slaggasaurus(common in South Yorkshire)” “Flagging us off” 😔
Alfie Colton Black boy slang actually! Facts straight. I remember when whities couldn’t stand black ppl making these slang and talking like this questioning “what it even means” and “how it’s so damn annoying” and now u all wanna join in and once again culture vulture bc you have none. If u gonna use it, first recognise what you are using and where it’s from, which mostly originated from JAMAICA my culture - Ting, Bredrin, Rahh etc
A lot of these are Jamaican Patois, not actually "British" origin slang. These words have been adopted from the immigrants that move to the UK. You can easily remove some of the few actual British slang in this video, add some Canadian slang and call it "Toronto" slang due to the same reason.
Agreed. I’m from nyc where there’s a lot of Caribbean people and influence. So most of, if not all of theses slang words I understood. Ppl in the comments complaining about Americans being ignorant or arrogant bc a few Americans generalize British ppl but a few of them are doing the same thing. Makes no sense.
NLE Gambino but Americans would probably say the same when we say THE American accent - I’m sure they have a huge variation in accents that we can’t differentiate between also
That isn't a English saying, everyone in nyc knows what it is and we even say it to other Jamaicans. If you around Jamaicans then you more than likely exposed to it.
Go to any video from Britain. *Americans talking about the content of the video:-* _None_ *Americans talking about how the video compares with the US:-* _All of them_
I find it quite strange to call some of these expressions 'British' because we used them back home (Jamaica) and even the pronunciation is maintained. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. Context : Many Jamaicans have migrated to the UK, namely to London, England, and I have on several occasions heard our Patois, or words rather, being incorporated into British slang.

@TheDriftMonkey you mug
@@plutoniiums I would want to test them with a south London accent and Birmingham accent and to see if they can actually tell the difference that would be interesting
Lol as a scouser i want to see them react to all our accents
Some stuff we use :
"Dont beg fam"
"Nonce"
"Ur clapped"
"You lemon" or just any object or food and suddenly its an insult lmao
EDIT: woah i had my notifs off this whole time and wtf ive never got this many likes or replies. Thanks guys 🤯🤯
Yeah like melon
Sabah Mustafa nah that last one is wrong, its supposed to be “You waffler”
What about “you div?”

This feels very centralised to London. Imagine them trying to figure out Scots or Geordie slang.
Tbh it’s most of England with London like Birmingham
just them trying to decipher Scots/ Doric would be hilarious
Or West Country
Most of my London friends don't know what mardy means....

Genuine question: Do people genuinely think all British people have the stereotypical "British accent" even though it isn't a thing. I don't know anybody at all that speaks like that
I'm English incase people are wondering
Yes, most Americans do!
Americans do, the rest of Europe think differently ahah
Its called received pronunciation and not many british people have that accent, its only really in the south and extremely posh people.
Nah, there's a lot of 'em; Sean Connery, Gerard Butler, Ewan Mcgregor, NI-accent, London, Wales, Hugh Grant, Mike Skinner, Liam Gallagher, Madonna...
Did I forget any? 😳

Not really, only chavs and roadmen in London and wannabes elsewhere. Most people will think you're a gimp for speaking like this
Nah, I don't hear it anywhere else only London and some wannabes up north
Alfie Colton brudda is it ain’t in the dictionary, it’s slang
Alfie Colton Black boy slang actually! Facts straight. I remember when whities couldn’t stand black ppl making these slang and talking like this questioning “what it even means” and “how it’s so damn annoying” and now u all wanna join in and once again culture vulture bc you have none. If u gonna use it, first recognise what you are using and where it’s from, which mostly originated from JAMAICA my culture - Ting, Bredrin, Rahh etc
A lot of these are Jamaican Patois, not actually "British" origin slang. These words have been adopted from the immigrants that move to the UK. You can easily remove some of the few actual British slang in this video, add some Canadian slang and call it "Toronto" slang due to the same reason.
Agreed. Alot of British slang derived from immigration. But the fact that's is mixed together with 'British culture' its halfway become its own thing
Agreed. I’m from nyc where there’s a lot of Caribbean people and influence. So most of, if not all of theses slang words I understood. Ppl in the comments complaining about Americans being ignorant or arrogant bc a few Americans generalize British ppl but a few of them are doing the same thing. Makes no sense.

‘This party is a dead ting’ makes no sense. Its meant to be ‘this party is dead’ , because adding the ‘ting’ refers to a person

NLE Gambino but Americans would probably say the same when we say THE American accent - I’m sure they have a huge variation in accents that we can’t differentiate between also

That isn't a English saying, everyone in nyc knows what it is and we even say it to other Jamaicans. If you around Jamaicans then you more than likely exposed to it.

hahaha I'm dying I remember this shit the roadman peppa pig
Wagwan piffting whats your bbm pin
I find it quite strange to call some of these expressions 'British' because we used them back home (Jamaica) and even the pronunciation is maintained. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
Context : Many Jamaicans have migrated to the UK, namely to London, England, and I have on several occasions heard our Patois, or words rather, being incorporated into British slang.
yeah that's why their slang is the same in toronto.
Yes, buzzfeed blackwashed britain. There are many indigenous slang dialects, but buzzfeed is too woke to give anything to white native races😂
