Rising inflection is like, the most irritating thing eva.

I hate the way most men in London between the ages of 16 and 30 something - all "you get me bruv," and "listen, listen" all in that weird accent that's popped up in the last few years.


It is a newish accent - a mix of cockney and Jamaican.


Well it's fcuking annoying, I'm hearing it a lot - on bus mobile phone conversations mainly. I might start carrying a D Lock on the bus so I can dispense summary justice.


Racist.

Yeah - growing up in Richmond upon Thames was a classic breeding ground for such kids. Thankfully grime did not exist when I was a kid and I was more into trying to act like i came from the Queensbridge projects in Brooklyn. I actually once graffiti'd 'Kew York' on the wall at Kew Gardens station. The shame! Laughing

Now then.

I've met you. In the flesh (well, in the shirt and jumper). And based on that, I would be prepared to pay a lot of Her Majesty's folding pounds to see you acting like a kid from the projects. A lot. Wink

I hate people who have to punctuate every sentece with "Innit" innit. Can't stand bare (or is it bear?), flexing, sick, rare etc. Sooooooo this and sooooooo that is annoying.

All the students from down South in Manc have this really wierd question intonation that is pretty vexing.

Another one is pluralizing everything ie "you GETS me bruv"

Rubbish shops trying to appear funky and youg by putting a Z instead of a S eg Short Cutz barbers.

Murked - Rio Ferdinand uses it, enough said.

I'm chippin off to flex wiv ma bravzz and get soooooooo wasted. Innit.

Let's have a minute's silence for all those who are currently sitting in traffic on the way to the gym to ride a stationary bicycle

One that I find quite funny is the word 'Fit'.
Now I myself and my mates use 'Fit' to describe a nice lady.

However, I don't understand why kids use it to describe other things, it just sounds stupid.
Case in point, I was walking past this bike shop near me in Finsbury Park, it tends to sell some really rubbish bikes. As I was walking past one day, these two street kids outside were admiring this one bike and going...

"That Bike is Fit!"

"Yeah, man did you see it, it was so Fit! I want that bike!

I remember a school skiing trip back in the 80's in Bulgaria. I was 15 and the hotel served us wine without asking for any ID and it was about 20p a bottle!

Anyway, the ski instructor was a very lovely leggy blond who had a good grasp of the English language but didn't know slang. So we spent the entire trip saying how 'fit' she was to he face and her answering that 'yes. I am fit. I go to the gym!' Laughing

I am personally trying to rid my friends of FIT when we are out. If they say "Look at her she is well fit" I ask them in detail how they know what her VO2 max is from looking at her then demand the same service is directed toward me. It may work you know.

Well, I don't know how but I've somehow managed to avoid most of this utter garbage. Maybe it's because I don't live in London?

I'm younger than 25 and still can't stand this type of thing - merely reading this thread is raising my blood pressure and making me a bit angry at the state of things.

+1 and I haven't met Sewinman! But your avatar does not really give away your B-boy history. For starters, your baseball cap is on the right way round. I loved rap/hip hop when I was young, right back in the days of the Sugar Hill gang etc. but I am sooooo white and uncool, I get odd looks when people see my cd collection....

+1... Kew York.... Laughing Laughing

Seeing as I went to a posh boarding school there was a general dislike of the 'chav' culture... however we did have our own stupid words, for example a positive response to anything was often 'oh blatantly'...

Then I started working in a pub in Essex, and can proudly say that my pub friends and I did the 'do I look bovvered' thing years before Catherine Tate... and its variant 'bothered? This much *hand gesture exhibiting 'not much'*.'

Oh, you people have no idea of the true horrors. Remember, I teach in an 11-18yrs all girls inner London school. I'm no fuddy-duddy (although by using that phrase I've probably proven exactly the opposite...), but some days it's incomprehensible. Nay, peng, bare, merk, butters, dark, dry, the list is endless. And it gets worse if you see it written down, they use all sorts of Dingbats font characters.

I find repeating 'yoof' speech back at them but in a BBC newsreader's accent makes them cringe - like a crucifix to a vampire. Most gratifying.

This is kinda connected to the theme of the thread.
As a civil servant (within the Jobcentre), my pet hate is the general malaise and ennui of the 18-25 age group that we deal with.
Constantly missing scheduled appointments and then wondering why they don't receive the corresponding payment of benefit.
And then kicking off, usually in a faux jamaican/street patois.
I constantly find myself on the cusp of saying something like "We're trying to cultivate a work ethic in you" or "You want stuff? Then you're gonna have to work for it."
This, i know, makes me sound like a Daily Mail reader (a publication i personally abhore) but *face palm*

Oh, and by the way, i've just seen the videos mentioned earlier and my immediate reaction is best described as a weary acceptance of supply and demand.

Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?
