I pull my housemate up on those all the time infuriates me!
I accidently said "I haven't got a scooby" (Scooby Do - Clue) to my nan the other day she went mad so I'll avoided using that from now on.
Urgh "swear down" I loath I live in Essex and work in TOWIEville (Brentwood) and all I hear is the stupid words those so called "celbs" use (or as I call them plebs) it drives me mad :mad:
JUST SPEAK NORMALLY !!!!!!!! :mad::mad::mad::eek:
Hahaha,,i am aware of TOWIE but could not possibly bring myself to watch it. However a couple of days ago on morning TV, there was a very useful tutorial on the use of the popular Essex phrase.."Shut Up " and how it can be used to convey different messages .
Resistance is futile,the march of the underclass in all its guises continues apace. We are the Dinosaurs.Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..0 -
I am pleased to report that my nephew has stopped using "basically". I am sad to report that he has replaced it with a short version - "base"... grrrrrrr0

Its use is currently de rigeur in Northern Town chav culture. You will hear it a lot in places like Manchester and Salford. Where these phrases come from ,no one knows but they spread like wildfire in the underclass because if you dont imitate then you dont belong.What is swear down?
In Manchester the underclass squawk with a whining nasal sing songy sounding emission and each emission must contain some key phrasesFeudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry).

"Back in the day" for me as well. I just want to say, when? Please be specific.
People who order an expresso in a coffee shop. There is no X people.
This one makes me fume "I seen a lovely bag, or I seen that on the news" You know who I am talking about, almost everyone in Northern Ireland!!! On the plus side I do love the overuse of the word wee here. Will I put that in a wee bag for you? That's your wee receipt! I always think it sounds friendly!!
Yes there are many things that are peculiarly Irish and especially in Northern ireland due to the mix of Scots/ Irish.
Have a look at the Norn Iron Haunbook and you will see countless examples ! Great fun..

That's it! I'm a northern chav! :rotfl:
Either that, or I watch Jeremy Kyle too much.
That said, I do hear it said on TOWIE quite often (and that's set dahn saaaaf...)
Proud to have lost over 3 stone (45 pounds,) in the past year! :j Now a size 14!

I think I've watched the grand total of about 5 minutes of TOWIE but, being an Essex girl, I get to hear people talk like that all the time. I'm so lucky!0 -

I have never heard anyone call a charity shop a chazza shop. Ever.
As I said how and why is it infantile? It's not like we're saying choo choo station. :rotfl:
:rotfl: that thought popped into my mind too!
People in the charity shop finds thread use the word Chazza. I've found myself using it very occasionally, but only on here and not irl. Probably because I'm being lazy and it's quicker to write!0
