The exaggerated scouse is the worst accent in the country. I just don't get it. None of my family speak that way yet I'll bump into people now and then and their accent from when we where kids to now has gone beserrrrrrkkkkkkkk. Lad.

 

I know cockneys have the exaggerated disorder too but I can't really recognise it anywhere else. Imagine exaggerated Brummy, but at least thats soft sounding.

I can't think of anyone else who does it, possibly Essex and some Irish. When it's done outside the city I think there's an element of peacocking, I.e people are scared of scousers/fancy scousers therefore I'll let everybody know I'm one.

Was speaking to a West Ham fan on holiday who was sound. He wasn't a an over exaggerated cockney geezer. He said my accent was normal and easy to understand as some scousers he's met in the past he couldn't understand because they spoke 100 miles an hour.

 

I said that loads of scousers or blag scousers have to exaggerate their accent as soon as they leave the city limits to announce to everyone where they are from and some thinks it intimidates people because they think that all scousers Have a reputation of being hard. 

 

If you have a normal job and have to interact with people who don't have an L postcode you can't go round talking like some low level drug dealer who hangs around outside Kelly's Wines most nights.

Black lads and some chavvy white people from London exaggerate being a gangster and talking like they are some Jamaican rap artist when they probably work in McDonald's.

 

Used to play in a national footy competition with work and every year a team called the Homeboyz would enter it. They all looked like Micah Richards and would just try to intimidate everyone because they were actually shit at footy. They played a bunch of prison officers from Glasgow and absolutely shat themselves when their plazzy gangster act didn't work on them and they kept getting clattered by 6 foot 5 fellas who didn't give a fuck.

You are mixing up soft with thick.

He's no Dave Kirby making poems about shopping centres. I prefer Daves tales of his ma packing him off to Rome in the luggage rack at Lime Street and watching Philly Thommo win European Cup No3 in Gay Pareeee.

 

His head looks like a fat 80s bird's muff.
