Stop giving him a hard time over the hands. He's holding an invisible devise that enables him to teleport around the room.

I'm cockney and proud. It's not outdated, it is still around

Why is he holding up an imaginary Basketball?

This was really helpful, thankyou!

MLE speakers only "just" started having kids? I first heard it around the year 2000 in London (it wasn't called that, but it wasn't cockney or estuary), by people in their 20s then (some had kids then!) Most of the people I knew speaking it lived in South (Sarf) London, around Lewisham, so maybe it was more localised then. It also sounded a tiny bit more cockney, maybe, but people were definitely saying "tings" and not "fings" for "things" - from their parents that were born overseas. I didn't notice any white people with that accent back then, but definitely plenty of working class/lower middle class white people use it now, so maybe that's what's changed most in the last 20 years

2:32 Are you positive that non-rhoticity entails linking r and intrusive r? I think a rhotic speaker may not use linking and intrusive r.

[@NicRedmanVoice]

There are always exceptions but yes, non rhotic does tend to have linking/intrusive. Rhotic still has linking r but it has a different quality to the linking r in non rhotic, but most non rhotic doesn't often have intrusive. There are always exceptions! Like the West Country in the UK, eg Bristol...

[@ChavvyCommunist]

T glottalisation's present in most British dialects these days too.

[@holycannoli64]

Very well explained but maybe do something else with your hands as holding them like that gives off a bit of a cult leader vibe...

Fam work on your body language

[@DanTaurusAtheist56]

Thats the most irrating word

[@llwydanwyl]

I'm sure this educated person is crying himself to sleep over the hate comments from MLE speakers

[@cymro6537]

Very interesting - but the hands - so distracting.

[@TheCWMHALL]
