An excellent gift for anyone interested in (British English) speech, accents, voice quality and their link with identity and cultural stereotyping. Or so I’m told … 😉

If all goes to plan, I’ll be on Times Radio at 11:20pm GMT tonight (2 Nov) on the topic of “the increasing number of (British) children adopting American slang and accent as a result of the media they consume”.

Turns out the youth of today refers to fashion as “drip”. This seems to derive from describing people who wear a lot of items from top fashion houses as “dripping with it”.
