Quite often used by persons as Yuppies, or song artists Such as Lily Allen (who went to a public school) in "Smile"

Get the estuary english mug.Gramatically correct English. Plain, to the point, free of euphamisms, jargon, slang, inuendo, etc.
Everyone wants to speak the queen's english, it's just that some people can't.
There are some who deride the Queen's English as too exacting, too demanding, and accuse it of being a tool to discredit those who may have a valid point, but lack formal education, and are inarticulate, and use slang and incorrect grammar. The answer, of course, would be to give everyone a formal education, not to reject the proper pronounciation of words.
Dude, you have an education, you can pronounce "ignorant" correctly, so do it. It's downright insulting for a middle-class intellectual like yourself to go around mimicking the voice patterns of urban blacks on principle. It doesn't matter what color you or they are, it matters that you're the one with the college education and they're the ones who can hardly put food on their tables.

I say "ignant," not "ignorant." "Ignorant" is in the Queen's Englisn, and the Queen's English is a tool of the Man to keep us down! I didn't get no education, and I don't want to be posh or nuffin!

Get the English Muffin mug.The University of New England is where people "drive" around tractors. They all love country music. Girls meet tall skinny white boys. Guys are lucky to meet a nice girl because the girls usually become lesbians because the guys suck so bad.

Get the University of New England mug.A football team reserved for players who can't play football without cheating in some way, whether it be spying on other teams' strategies, deflating the footballs before a game, or paying off the referees so they'll totally be on your side, even if you commit the most blatant fouls ever seen. They are also the sworn enemies of the New York Giants, who stomped their asses at the Superbowl TWICE, something that Patriot fans will be stewing over until they leave this earth.
