sar4x4 Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 As heard on Corrie (Coronation Street). And then I looked them up because I couldn't spell them! At https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_British_terms_not_widely_used_in_the_United_States Some of my favourites are: oi, owt, nowt, MOT (we appreciate that!), sarnie, butty, punter, cow, and the list goes on!

SQRLPWR Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 Nice one guv LOL When I first come here, I naively expected to be understood verbally. After 7 years I'm getting there, give or take the odd slip up LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derekmac Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 Good friends of ours are Brits, and I work with a TON of them. There's not too much that I can't understand now. Some accents are much harder to understand than others, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SQRLPWR Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 I've got a pretty neutral / none regional accent. Some of my friends that I grew up with on the other hand have crazy Yorkshire accents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sar4x4 Posted January 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 There a couple I know, a Brit and a Scot. She's the Scot with a strong Scottish accent. His is a more neutral English one like Jay. Man, it's funny to listen to them! Any accent takes a while to get used to, even locally just some of South Shore folks!
