And she does

I'm just talking rubbish (

). You're my fave Brit.

FrellingTralk · 12-10-2020, 05:54 PM

Pleased to hear it

Even if I don’t say innit

Penny Lane · 12-10-2020, 05:55 PM

I don't even know what it means.

Is it like saying 'isn't it'?

FrellingTralk · 12-10-2020, 05:58 PM

It is, I’m far too old and uncool to be going around saying it though

Penny Lane · 12-10-2020, 05:59 PM

It's interesting because I use a lot of British slang and I didn't know I was.

FrellingTralk · 12-10-2020, 06:02 PM

I’m starting to get like that with pronouncing some words the American way because I almost exclusively watch American tv

Penny Lane · 12-10-2020, 06:04 PM

Aww that's cute lol.

I love how Brit's will say a word like 'together' but pronounce it 'togevah'.

Eric on Sex Education has the best accent of them all imo.

FrellingTralk · 12-10-2020, 07:53 PM

Otis is probably the closest to how my accent sounds, but it is a bit of a mishmash at times

Penny Lane · 12-10-2020, 08:15 PM

I don’t remember what he sounds like now.

Gorgeous.

Being Canadian, we use a lot of British words and sayings in our country too.

But mostly I think I don’t have a “Canadian accent”, to my ears, I just sound like a typical North American from the west coast, which sounds like no accent in particular

Penny Lane · 12-10-2020, 08:24 PM

There are certain words Canadian's say where I can hear an accent like 'about' and you guys say 'eh' a lot.

reason to believe · 12-10-2020, 08:32 PM

Yes, its funny when Americans try to say “eh” but they never seem to use it correctly in their sentence.

When I lived in Vegas, I got a tape from my dad and I noticed his accent when he pronounced the word “garage”.

Penny Lane · 12-10-2020, 08:38 PM

I agree with that.

His American accent?

reason to believe · 12-10-2020, 08:48 PM

No, I was used to hearing Americans speak so when my dad said “Garage” it didn’t sound right cause I guess its his Canadian accent coming out.

I had a guy in Vegas try to say “eh” to me, and I was like “uh, that’s not exactly how its used” haha.
