LOL
Yeah , the Ozzies / Aussies (sp ) do that , dont they ?
That upward inflection at the end /. middle is sooooooooo confusing if you`re not used to hearing it .

Re: Is it?
It's a question of time and place.I love slang and I love colourful language.
But everyone should know how and when to express themselves in the appropriate context. If the youth of today (or anyone else) don't know this, then they have been let down somewhere along the line.

Re: Is it?
Everyone knows one had an English Public School education so one has impecable vowel sounds-yeah like the Pope is a Baptist mate.I can understand accents/dialects from Glasgow(or even Inverness) down to Devon taking in the North East,Brum,the `black` country and norfolk-anywhere basically..
And why? because it makes sense, gooble dee gook does not
