Some British accents are alright and some of them are the definition of ugliness (Geordie & Scouse).

why on earth would you tell us about it if not to brag about your poshness hahaha its ok, its entertaining, so when you get angry does the inner chav come out ?

accents do change when people get angry, when I speak somali and I am in a heated argument, I all of a sudden start speaking like a Qowdhan its very frustrating and shameful experience.

I was just pointing it out in favour of UK Somalis I guess, and I swear a lot when I'm angry but it does change a bit, I use some slang like 'bruv' when I say something like "are you f-king kidding me bruv"

Are you American?

British Somalis sound Jamaican.

Canadian Somalis sound like they have a bad cold.

American Somalis, depending on their upbringing, sound like African Americans or typical Midwestern suburbanites.

And then there's Based, who sounds like a southern gentleman.

My favourite accent in england is definitely Liverpool one. i know a guy who moved from Liverpool recently and i take piss out of him cos of his accent. I think what happens here is when you 18 you realize all this street thug nonsense ain't going to take you nowhere and you drop the patwa/chav accent.

I still use some slang words every now and then, words like mush, pal, wagwan, easy now rude boii, badman ting, mint, mush, chava, choo, gidup, raati, beach nigger, lit, snout and maybe 5 more. some of these slang words i use when am with white freinds and some i use when am black freinds.
