So I've never heard it either. Though I love it.... I'm retired now but, I'll use it in the next meeting I ever have with the farming contractors that now work for me .... I'll let you know how it goes.....I'd never heard of the thought fridge before your post and I don't think I want to hear of it again.

Mate of mine who lives in Sweden writes to me in what he calls Hyde grammar.I hate the less intelligence end of Mancunian stuff:
Heees (his)
We won dem (we beat them)
I seen him (I saw him/“a sore’im” sounds more Manc than what they say)
I fink he frew it frough de fick fingy (I think he threw it through the thick thingy)
I don’t think this is colloquialism, I genuinely think they do sound thick (fink de do sound fick)!
I’m not bothered about how strong someone’s accent is, but use the correct words. You can sound the most Mancunian (or Glaswegian for that matter) person that’s ever lived but still talk properly.
Always starts the email off with "Oreet"
Then he joins words together, like "I'm having" becomes "amavin"
Now I do it as well. Haha
Always ends with "reet, amof, sithi"
Translated as, right, I'm off, see you'
Sometimes it takes a long time to read his emails :)

I like a strong Glaswegian accent MP, I find it endearing. Was a time when I could hardly understand what you cunts said though up there. I'd be in a bar in Glasgae and would have to ask them to speak the queen's English slower as I'm a bit deaf and sometimes have to lip-read. Fook me Jimmy. If they were a left footer I'd see outrage in a blood red contorted face followed by a weird Scottish Max Headroom rambling on as fast as a washer on full spin cycle mate.

nothing in the universe was as annoying as jar jar binks.Consuela from Family Guy. I just want to smash her fucking face in.

Someone changing the facts to keep an argument going on this forum? Never, your mad.I mentioned "off of" on here years ago and was told that it was perfectly fine because mick jagger said " hey hey you you get off of my cloud.

Mainly because he looked just like Rio Ferdinand of the same era.

But it's not just Macunians, PC, it's everywhere. Particularly in London.
Over the years, I've known many people or seen/heard them in the media, all with varying levels of intelligence, who have problems "rolling their Rs", or speaking with a lisp, etc. It's life.
However, I've NEVER heard any person with what would be called above average intelligence say
fick, fink, fanks, Fursday etc
You've only to listen to the likes of Ferdinand or Ian Wright.
It's almost like they're using it as a "badge of honour".

It’s not posh. Dropping ‘h’s and ‘g’s and glottal stopping ‘t’s and ‘tt’s is fine... but replacing ‘th’s with ‘f’s and ‘d’s really does sound unintelligent.How is posh properly? Asking for a friend. Who decides what is correct? I always speak "properly" to be understood with people with different accents etc. But not when I am speaking to fellow Weegies.. if you are understood that's what communication is. But speaking in your local.dialect is absolutely fine.
And using the right words stops you sounding vacant in the head cavity.
For example, these Mancunian sentences are perfectly alright;
“will yer stop mitherin’ me with all yer skrikin’, yer doin’ me’ed in, buʔʔin’ in all the time!”
“snot my fault yer taʔer ‘ash is ‘angin’, a waʔ summeʔ else!”
But these two are not;
“av yer saw Dave?”
“Yeah a seen Dave frow dat fing dat went frough de window!”
There’s a difference between local accent and colloquialisms, and sounding like a thick ****.

I think that sort of thing is fine! I often start a text message to a mate I haven’t seen for a while with “Owaya?!”Mate of mine who lives in Sweden writes to me in what he calls Hyde grammar.
Always starts the email off with "Oreet"
Then he joins words together, like "I'm having" becomes "amavin"

That’s true. And the incessant dropping of ‘ly’ in ‘ly’ words, has become rife across the country.But it's not just Macunians, PC, it's everywhere. Particularly in London.

Beth Rigby on Sky News is obviously an intelligent woman and is a good reporter/interviewer but her slovenly use of English gets on my nerves to the point where I just can't listen to her any more and have to switch to another news channel. She drops the 'g' on every word with 'ing' in it, Thinkin, discussin, testin, waitin, meaninful, etc. I can just about put up with her saying things like battew (battle) and hospitaw but not dropping g like that.
