  • The precise definition and usefulness of the term continue to be debated,[8][9][10] and the scholars who use it today admittedly do so as a convenient basis for comparison rather than for exactness

    Thank you for agreeing with me, and providing sources to back up my point.

    To repeat my point,

    Stating that there exists a generic UK accent is as useless as suggesting there exists a generic US accent. The wikipedia article suggests that linguists by and large agree with me. So again, thanks.







  • UK accents that are as different from each other as they are the generic American accent.

    So yeah, when you say ‘British accent’ that means basically nothing to anyone in the UK.

    It’s akin to saying “the generic American accent,” Which means absolutely nothing to anyone in the US.

    The only Gen z term in this meme is “lowkey”.

    The rest is gen x and millennial 80s/90s slang.

    Maybe “kickback” being used this way is Gen z as well but the term “kick back” as in “kick back and relax” is gen x, 80s.
