American Takes Essex Slang Quiz with Fabulous Hannah
Today I took a quiz on Essex slang with my friend Fabulous Hannah. I thought it'd be easy...
Hannah's video: • SWAPPING CHILDHOOD FOO...

Thank you so much for watching! Hope you enjoyed it!
If you're new to my channel and videos, hi! I'm Evan Edinger, and I make weekly "comedy" videos every Sunday evening. As an American living in London I love noticing the funny differences between the cultures and one of my most popular video series is my British VS American one. I'm also known for making terrible puns so sorry in advance. Hope to see you around, and I'll see you next Sunday! :)

you guys, I'd like to point out that EVAN spelled it phonetically when he edited the text in, she didn't spell it that way, he did. If you watch the old BBC show "Are You Being Served" part of what made it work so well was the cross culturalism of the characters. The janitor (one of them) I now know is clearly from Essex. the TH replaced with a V or an F is that considered slang or dialect? it gets confusing because "cool" (as meant for ok, or popular; as opposed to temperature) used to be slang, but It's so common now that it's probably an official alternate meaning and not slang anymore. BUT if she's from there, and considers it to be slang, then it probably is
Being from southend I was a little insulted for like 3 seconds when she said 'don't bother' going to southend, then I actually thought about it.. yeah I wouldn't bother😂

I'm ex London but mostly Essex and noticed this accent starting in the 80s. Some of my kids friends spoke like it which made me laugh at the time because it sounded so strage. Then it spread over the years. It's definitely East Enders moving out mixing their accents with the locals.

As someone from the North of England, this was pretty hard. The bad pronunciations were easy to get, but I don't know enough about the geography of South London or Cockney rhyming slang to get the other words right. 😂
She is the stereotype of Essex. You can tell by looking at her she's from there, then she speaks and confirms it with a single word.
I did not realise that half of these were only Essex. The hang ups of growing up in Braintree...

Outside the really easy ones I only got Score - because it's in the Gettysburg Speech (studied GCSE History and my third option was American West)
This is more like an Essex pronunciation test than it is a slang test.......
OMG EVEN! I can't tell you how many of these slang terms we still use in the south. It just goes to show how we have kept some of our haritage through speech. Sadly, in my area(Virginia) alot of the slang and older terms that got past down aren't being used or are being forgotten because of the younger generation. I want to make a book or videos or something to document and keep these sayings and other things from disappearing. Thank You for doing these pronunciations/slang videos. ✌ Also, Thanks for featuring my comment in your video two weeks ago. Sorry for the bad grammer, I was typing fast and forgot to proofread. 😄
Han is so Essex aha bless her(she has a proper Essex accent)
