    Who the f**k talks like that?

    "Jolly good old chap"

    "Cheery O"

    "Cor blimey guvnor"

    We either sound like world war 2 officers or Dick Van Dyke

          Sounding intimidating has nothing to do with an accent.

              My accent is typically Oxford and I speak in RP - mostly. Its good for presentations and formal stuff. Sucks socially.

                Do y'all really switch out a word for another rhyming word?

                "We're in barney....barney rubble....trouble"!

                That shit's funny.

                    I've honestly never heard anyone say it. Only in oceans 11

                    We use the word Barney for if someone having an argument. Having a Barney, but its not that common. Its typical east london talk but its old fashioned and only used by the old boys these days
