Subject: RE: Worst accent or what?
Fossil.... aware din urea..(a word in your ear) Black Country people are not Brummies!Yes, I can understand every word Ozzie Osbourne says.My wife and I need subtitles for any American film set in the deep South.And there are really two English accents, Received pronunciation...ie B.B.C. English, and your own accent, which can also contain your own dialect words which are unknown to people living only 30 miles away.Brummie includes "in 'is oil-tot" (very happy),"the lar pom" or "cludgie" (w.c.) "mithered" (worried)"miskin" (dustbin)"blart" (cry) "daint" (didn't)"necks wick" (in 7 days time) etc.
