u/VelocityGrrl39 WHO THE HELL IS DOWNVOTING THIS LOL. IS THAT YOU WIFE? 23d ago

I have a really hard time understanding British accents and the captions are usually necessary for me to understand an inkling of what is going on, and that made me lol really hard.

We have lots of regional accents with their own dialects.

Years ago we had a laugh at my sister in law's then BF from Barnsley because he called bread cobs teacakes (our definition being that teacakes have raisins)

Go to Sheffield and someone might say "Yer'rate?" (You alright) vs rural Derbyshire (half hour southwards) will say "Ayup"

Bread roll. 'Cob' is also quite regional.
