Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Cockney"

A: It means a person (a Cockney) from the East End of London. It also means the accent (cockney accent) from that part of London.

Cockney rhyming slang is also used in the East End of London. It is particular to that area. e.g. I'm on the dog and bone = I'm on the phone

A: Cockney is a person from London, cockney slang is the special words from London example: apples and pears=stairs.

A: How do I improve my Cockney accent?

A: Na they keep it the same, so it'd be like: an ouse (house), an at (hat), an ose (hose pipe).

They also pronounce the F word (I won't say it just in case) differently. They swap the U for an A.

In addition, you also have rhyming cockney slang, like "Apples and pears" (stairs), brown bread (dead), half inch something (to pinch/steal something) - pronounced "alf" rather than half. Can't remember any others.

They also use the word "ain't" a lot. So "I'm not doing that" could be "I ain't doing that".

Good luck, British and Irish slang is awesome

A: Cockney is very London based so watch shows or films that are based around that area

Posh accent is how English is meant to be pronounced and is used more by upper class people

A: I do not recommend you learn the cockney accent. Most Londoners do not speak with a cockney accent. Also I personally think you can only sound like a native after living in a place for a significant amount of time. Keep your accent! Like Georgieboi said as long as you can be understood that's all that matters. :)
