    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
