If you start looking up words in an urban dictionary then you've really got it twisted.

Same thing's been happening with cockney throughout the south for years. Brighton, with it's well-to-do, predominantly middle-class population seems to be way too fond of affecting London slang when they've blatantly never lived there. When they do meet up with folks who use the language as natives, they often seem a bit worried. Always fascinating to notice how people's accents change depending on circumstances, like the difference in their voices in chatting to mates or their parents.
Brighton is full of ex Londoners, or people with London origins, and always has been (as it's comparitively close geographically) - hence the similarity in the accent compared to other parts of Sussex (which are more 'yokelised'). Nothing to do with people 'emulating' another accent lol

You hear a typical Brighton taxi driver, and he'll sound cockney.

And as for Brightoners being predominently 'well-to-do' - I think you'll find it the other way round. It's only the facade of a few new buildings that give that misconception.
i hate the way that "cockney" keeps gettin used as a general catch-all for for people from London.
According to tradition, the strict definition is limited to those born within earshot (generally taken to be three miles) of the Bow Bells
due to the expansion of the east end this strict definition was extended to include areas further east. but dont confuse people from west london as being cockneys yeh. they are from west london and hav quite dif accents, imo
rant over, lol

I hear ya - the Taxi drivers (as a running example) I'm talking about have got traditional East End accents.

i dont think its offensive mate... its just a discussion about the spread and evolution of the english language, with a slight twist of silly humour... and everyone loves silly relevant humour dont they?
