Off Topic Does England have a culture any more?

Divvent means don't...

 

Apologies, it means don't, not doesn't! It is daft now you come to mention it.

Like I say, the only times I hear the word innit used inappropriately is when it is used by some idiots off the telly. I've only heard it used by spotty wannabe gangsters so I might be a bit ignorant regarding the diversity of its usage. So my annoyance is possibly more towards the people Ive heard use it rather than the use of the word itself. All I know is that it seems to have been a recent thing that has popped up within the last 5-10 years. Never heard it before then.

 

Don't worry mate I won't be offended, I use it habitually all the time, like I'd say "I'm just off into town then I'll call you innit".

It's just habit, never bothered me.

 

But in that context, what does it mean? Is it a short way of saying 'do you understand or affirmative?'

 

It doesn't mean anything

I'm not pretending it makes sense.

 

People from Essex say 'Jar meen' after everything, it's a shortened stupid version of 'do you know what I mean?' Which as it happens always seems to follow the simplest of statements to understand.

 

It's truly incredible that an endless queue of talent-less drones troop onto the X-Factor and claim they'd do absolutely anything to win ..... anything, it seems, except learn how to perform, do any practice or memorise the song.

The Cowell shows are typical of what I was saying about us becoming increasingly American ...... the audience whoop, scram & holler, the contestants sing with cringy faux US accents and the judges all say things like 'girlfriend' 100 times a show.

 

It all started with Eamon Andrews, that t**t off Open the Box and Hughie Green. Cowell and those two dwarfs from up the road are just the latest attack. I never cease to wonder how I keep from going under. Lol

 

I avoid them, and the likes of Philip Schofield, who seem to have virtually no talent other than doing the same routine their entire lives.

Ant & Dec have progressed from being cheeky teenage rascals to being middle aged cheeky teenage rascals.

I've honestly no idea what they add to the programmes they appear on.

 

It plays to the lowest common demoninator. Forgetable tv.

 

The Once Shows.

 

They must get back to the dressing room, pour a glass of wine, sit back and say,

"Nice one, we really nailed the synchronised pointing tonight didn't we ...... high five."

 

and what the f*ck is the matter with the drinking culture ya boring c*nts?.

 

also eastenders with a "yeh" at the end of every sentence ,i feel like yelling NO !

 

Indian fella (but originally from Coventry) in my corner shop says "do is" after every sentence <shrugs>

 

I think part of the british identity is togetherness. No matter where you are you can hear a british voice and will identify with it. Get talking and within minutes its as if you are life long friends.

Brits will always stick together. Mind i also find the yanks (disliked on here by some) are our closest. Evetywhere i go i seem to meet a yank, and everytime hit it off.
