Elba is actually above all of that and IMO it would do him a great injustice to play the character. Let them keep their phony narrative of the 'Ultimate White Man' for their own and Let Idris Elba not succumb to playing the role of such a narrow minded and shallow character who is the white man's wet dream.

M Well if you aren’t English or British in general then it’s unlikely that you’ll have heard of any of these terms. The slang back then like I said had an actual purpose, which most “modern” slang does not it’s simply what becomes popular amongst younger generations. This video is specifically London slang with a mixture of Cockney rhyming and Grime, which is heavily influenced by Jamaican culture.. nobody outside of London would use words like “ting”, not unless they have severe learning difficulties.

@pandaball5255 2 жыл бұрын

Bit of a correction: “Born under the Bow Bells” doesn’t refer to any church in Bow... it refers to Mary Le Bow church on Cheapside (in the city, running between St Paul’s and Bank of England). So being a cockney actually puts you a lot more central than you would think, but London has of course sprawled over the years. Sorry Idris.

@sexyhomeowner9345 5 жыл бұрын

It's not 'chirp', it's 'cherps'. Strictly speaking, it's West Indian-derived and has since become London street slang.

@savydowden4445 5 жыл бұрын

In London we say 'cussed/grilled/roasted/dissed/mugged off' as our equivalent to your 'chirping'. Yh. Chirpsing ain't really used anymore in London. If you wanna talk to a girl or get with them we now say "I'm gonna try and 'link'/'move to'/'chat up' that ting". I'm 20 so some slang ppl like Idris use has evolved but some stay the same. A lot of our moderm slang is shaped by America, the Caribbean, memes and current events.
