On the subject of accents, I am reminded of a 20-something bloke I met the other day. He was clearly a white, well-educated young man from the home counties, but he spoke with a fake accent - a sort of Jafaican tinge. It was totally affected. Someone who knows him more than I, explained that he did not speak like that 5-7 years ago, as they lived near each other.
Definitely annoying. A cousin of mine who is a police officer, reports it is quite common these days. I know that language evolves, but fake street accents simply make the user out as a bell-end IMO.

Funny how patois, or a version of, has become the language of the streets 60 years after it was bought here. I guess with more African influence than in Jamaica, but its got roots in the Caribbean.
Don't forget the American influence on our language, mostly bad.Whats boiling my piss at the moment is being told that "they" are going to "swap out" something, FFS, swap will describe exactly what "they" are doing, no need to embellish with "out", FFS.

And a British cop saying "my bad".
In fairness, that's kind of plausible. Although I don't disagree with you. 
Whilst on the subject of Americanisms...anyone that says or writes 'ass' when they mean arse.
There are a few on here.
If I see 'ass' in a post I immediately assume you to be an idiot (or referring to your donkey like pet).
Methinks thou art an ass...

I was really organised this year and ordered presents early.
Now if someone could just tell me where I hid them that would be great.....

Also, having to re-buy the cheeseboard because you "accidentally" ate all the cheese.
Repeat until Christmas Day. Then apologise to your guests that the cheeseboard is a little depleted.

The CRS for 'bottom' is ARIS. from Aristotle=bottle=bottle and glass=a**e. Convoluted, but told to me by a genuine cockernee geezer.
I used to be mystified by a line in Fools & Horses until I researched it. Referring to a frightening situation, Del boy said his April was 'Twitchin' like a good un'.
I figured he was referring to his RP but this is how it works...
April rhymes with 'April in Paris.
Paris ='Arris
Arris = Aristotle
Aristotle = bottle
Bottle = bottle' n' glass
= arse
I make that CRS five times removed.
People who sit in cars parked on the "wrong" side of the road (i.e. on my side, but facing me) with their dipped beams on, and don't realise that as they dip to the left, they're shining right at me. On the way home just now there's a lay-by on my side of the road, and there's someone in a Mercedes estate sat there with the lights on facing me. No amount of flashing my main beams made the penny drop., but I really had trouble seeing past them.
The latest craze of taking some mundane thing like a belt sander (honestly), test meter, lump of iron or anything else and then stuff a lamp on top of it.
Sorry it looks bloody stupid and what an utter waste. I saw quite a rare piece of electronics ruined by a sodding great hole drilled into it.
