Abz's accent
 

I am not from the UK and don't recognize Abz's accent. I love it though... sounds almost like Jamaican and English combined. :)

I'm not English either but it seems to be the new London accent that all the cool kids use

It's one he invented, all by himself!

Jafaikan

Well, I am from the UK, and I don't recognise his accent! God help us if this is meant to be cool.

It's stwreet tork, inn't.

It's the accent that Ali G brought to our attention...a sort of cross between London (Cockney) and Jamaican.

That just about sums it up Mr R.:thumbs:

...the sad thing is that I think that I would quite like the lad if he'd just drop the uber-cool-kid act!...but it's just making a 34 year old man look pathetic in my eyes! :nono:

He sounds like a sixteen year old trying to act "All growed up"

12-14...i'd say Fingers...:whistle:

LOL!

Ear bleeding awful

It's called "Jafaiken" and it's totally invented by idiots who think it's cool to speak like a cross between a Jamaican and Cockney. It's permeating its way into London and the South East and is frankly horrible to listen to. It's totally fake, invented and put on. It's a bit like me speaking with a French accent because I thinks it's cool. It's not, just shows you're a tw@t!

Sooner Abz is out the better as I can't stand listening to him and the less coverage Jafaiken gets the better.

I can't stand the accent, it proper gets on my nerves, thing is youngsters all over the country are adopting the accent, soon there will only be one accent used so no one will know where anyone comes from LOL. I hate to think our different accents will be lost eventually, I hear so many young kids from my area of Yorkshire trying to speak this Ali G accent.

Dont get me started on the way the silly swine talks ,makes himself look stupid everytime he opens his mouth

I never could stand Ali G. and Sacha Baron Cohen is just as bad!!! :devil::joker::dance::joker:

What cracks me up is when I hear young people in my local market town talking with this accent. I imagine none of them have ever had a conversation with a black person, and it comes out as a cross between Jamaican and country-fried rube.

thing is, I love to hear Jamaicans talk its just when people try to copy the accent, it just doesn't sound right and really riles me. Am I over reacting? Perhaps, but it still does my head in, I want to hear kids speaking with the accent of the place they come from. I'll shut up now because it makes me cross :mad:

I'm with you. Accents are great, I can't understand why someone would want to cultivate a fake one.

trying to be a rude boy!

Abz's accent is 1990s jafakean. the guy has been stuck in a time warp ever since leaving 5ive.

It isn't an accent. Though there are several thousand people who choose to talk like this. It makes them look cool.

I can hear his real voice every now, and then, and it's a bit geeky.

This is the real deal.....though to be fair maybe Abz may have been sourounded by people that sound like that, his girlfriend looks as though she may have black roots.......but I must admit His accent sounds a bit fake......but that's probably because his accent is a mixture.:xyxwave:

Feel free to have ago yourself.:xyxwave: :wavey:
