THIS IS NOT BRITISH SLANG. THAT DOESN’T EXIST.
THIS IS ONLY A SMALL PART OF ENGLAND. SLANG CHANGES DEPENDING ON WHERE U ARE.
SOME OF THESE LIKE “THE DOGS BOLLOCKS” ARE COMMON BUT MOST AREN’T.

I can understand that some here are annoyed by a mistake or two he made, but personally, I wouldn’t mind if he were teaching Mandarine… or explaining Tagalog syntax… Finnish history… Xhosa grammar… anything, as long as he moves, speaks and smiles. No IDEA why, tho… ?

“Ting” is not proper british slang.its African.english way of saying would be “fing”.the ‘t’ is always dropped in cockney /estuary dialect
“Fit”is definately proper english.
“Chirpsing” is proper cockney ryhming slang.
“Bennin” wtf
“Adam” cockney rhyming slang
“Barney ” same
“Innit” chav
“Rank” chav
“Big up” black not English
“Alan” cockney
