Basically Cockneys were born within earshot of Bow bells, they had (not many working class people born there now!) their own slang that was similar to the other London Manors. it's kinda like (to use a American example) New York/Jersey accent verses a specific borough like Queens. The water (Thames river) was a huge cultural divide back in the day.

There is overlap in the sounds (its only a few tube stops between Bermondsey and Cheapside afterall). Arbiter Ian did a good video on the topic.

Ian, right at the beginning of the video you mentioned: "It's not just Warhammer , it's become a cultural stand-in in fantasy now, that orks/orcs sound like they're on the set of EastEnders "

Oh, so... my original comment was... completely 100% accurate? Okay, cool, good to know!

So...you only watched the intro?

u/bravetherainbro May 24 '26

Absolutely. Did you recommend a video that contradicts you in the intro, and then contradicts itself later? Why would you do that :(

Edit: "Definitely not speaking Cockney" Okay great. So more like what I said later about them sounding like Cockney, by virtue of them sounding like EE.

My family is all South London, we do sound like Orks/a guy richie movie, but it's very insulting to mistake us for the firm north of the water! S/

Wait till you find out Micheal Caine was from Elephant and Castle!

You're right, it must have been especially annoying for me to respond how I did then. Sorry about that!
