American Takes Essex Slang Quiz with Fabulous Hannah

[@Jessie1Dx]

I would call this more pronounciations rather than slang

[@judgejudyslover]

Yea it's not slang

[@fuzzlefeenix]

There were definitely more actual slang words towards the end

[@TheFlameBladeWielder]

they're different ways of spelling because of the different pronunciations, so it is still technically dialect

[@judgejudyslover]

fuzzlefeenix I stopped watching.

[@better.better]

you guys, I'd like to point out that EVAN spelled it phonetically when he edited the text in, she didn't spell it that way, he did. If you watch the old BBC show "Are You Being Served" part of what made it work so well was the cross culturalism of the characters. The janitor (one of them) I now know is clearly from Essex. the TH replaced with a V or an F is that considered slang or dialect? it gets confusing because "cool" (as meant for ok, or popular; as opposed to temperature) used to be slang, but It's so common now that it's probably an official alternate meaning and not slang anymore. BUT if she's from there, and considers it to be slang, then it probably is

[@xMitchIrons]

Being from southend I was a little insulted for like 3 seconds when she said 'don't bother' going to southend, then I actually thought about it.. yeah I wouldn't bother😂

If you get nicknamed Dyers or Danny Dyers it is a similar story to an army recruit from London. When he went to training in Catterick, Yorkshire he was nicknamed Stenders (Eastenders) because of his cockney accent
