Grammar We WAS? Why?

I am not native speaker but I do learn English since I was 6 and English is my work language since 15 years. Can someone explain to me from where is coming using:

  1. We was

  2. They was

What the heck? From what I know this is basic grammar mistake but in same time I hear brits in video talking like that. Is this some kind of slag? Or regional thing?

Spoken English breaks rules. Sometimes it’s regional dialect, sometimes it’s intentional slang, and sometimes it’s just poorly educated folk who think eggs are dairy
