The appropriation of Patois into urban slang so beloved of those urban types in our capital is the most annoying crap I ever heard.

Regional slang and colloquialisms are an everyday part of the English language but the language I hear should say something that is integral to local dialect and it seems that it is almost being completely replaced with words and phrases that have no roots in the venacular.

If I hear one more white person say 'innit blood' or 'aye, is it' I will pull their tongue out and wipe my feet on the fecker.

Language is always evolving. It is it's nature and I accept that but you should still have a base that can be attributed to your own language or dialect.

Not quite the response you wanted. Apologies.

For the record I love Patois and could sit on a Jamaican beach all day listening to it bloodclot.
