My hometown is starting to look really Yookay now... Deliveroo riders, dessert bars, chicken shops, rubbish everywhere - just the most random people from strange countries milling around whenever I go into the town centre.

Yookay

A term for the new United Kingdom established in 1997. The United Kingdom of the past bears little resemblance to the Britain of today. The "Yookay" has devolved into a bureaucratic, managerial state, plagued by rampant litter, urban decay, an influx of migrants, and a disturbing rise in violent crime. Its much-touted diversity is superficial at best—a hollow spectacle of ethnic restaurants catering to the tastes of middle-class white liberals, who revel in the illusion of multiculturalism while remaining insulated from its reality.

Typical Yookay lingo is:
"Big man ting!"
"Swear down bruv"
"Wagwan"
"Man did___"

"U dun know"

Where are you from?
