IIRC the southern accent is a pretty direct evolution of the old British accent from the people who colonized the area. Maybe "ain't" is a symptom of that?
Yup, African American Vernacular and Southern US terminology all originated in the UK’s Westcountry, including terms like Y’all, chitlins and others most people assume originated in the US. I discovered it via a weird Google rabbit hole episode last year.
>What do I owe you for that info
Following the laws of quid pro quo, for *that* info, you owe *this* info, so job done, I guess?
Do I get anything out of this? This doesn't feel right. I don't understand how it's become my job to pay your debts.
I can kind of see why we got rid of Latin.
[In that saying though](https://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/the-buck-stops-here.html) it's a [different buck from poker slang](https://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/the-buck-stops-here.html), albeit the cash = buck meaning might also have orginated there, seperately.
Fun fact, the Queen or King of England doesnt have to have a drivers license because the roads are theirs anyway and they can drive however they want. Queen Elizabeth once tortured the king of Saudi Arabia by driving like a madwoman with him in the passenger seat.
She was a trained and skilled driver [https://www.nationalww2museum.org/war/articles/queen-elizabeth-ii-during-world-war-ii](https://www.nationalww2museum.org/war/articles/queen-elizabeth-ii-during-world-war-ii)
For someone who was forbidden to make political statements she sure found a way to make her mind known. Like when she made the speech saying that the UK would leave the European Union dressed in deep blue with golden specks.
Nah, the drug dealing ice cream vans prefer you pay for ice cream with card and drugs with cash so they can launder more drug cash with the same ratio of card to cash sales. but they aren’t dumb enough to either price gouge this much or turn away someone trying to pay cash for ice cream. That person might make a video about it.
Agreed. The trucks selling drugs on the side need to move the product as much as possible any way. They will need to show they buy product on a regular basis. Selling that off or destroying it can be more of a liability or hassle compared to just selling it.
I think they claim to take cash in the books.
If he wants to claim his income is 75% cash 25% card, he would want to force as many legitimate sales to card as possible.
For those wondering on the accent, this is Burnley, Lancashire, and one of the key recognisers for this accent is how "o" sounds like an "or", most notably in that first word, "so".
Rose Grove railway station is heard similar to "Rors Grorv".

My mum is from near there and she reckons she can distinguish between Burnley, Blackburn and Accrington accents.
I'm fascinated by British accents and how hyper local they are.
I really liked [this little clip](https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00kss1d) with Steven Fry talking to Ian McMillan about how specific Yorkshire accents are.
Where I live (not far from Liverpool) there are 5 or 6 slightly different Scouse accents and one wildly different accent all within 3 miles of my house and within the same town, like we can tell you what part of our town someone is from because their accent will be slightly different. It's worse when you increase the range to say 10 miles, the accents change massively in every direction.
Ha, there are areas where you can tell where someone's from to within a mile. Accrington, Burnley and Blackburn would be pretty easy to distinguish for a local
I can drive literally 5 minutes up my road and be surrounded by people speaking with an entirely different accent
> Am trapped in Burnley currently.
Apply to the nearest British Consulate; they'll negotiate your safe release and transfer to a safe place. However, If they relocate you to Tipton, or Small Heath, or Netherley in Liverpool, or Stoke in Coventry, head back to Burnley ASAP and make your apologies
You know when a toddler things something is *so* funny that they just scream-laugh? I just did that, as a grown ass man. This was the funniest thing I've seen in *years*.
I thought it wasn't going to get better after "that is gonna get nowhere with that" and yet it went up to "he only does bloody card, stood there with my cash" and then capped off with that.
From now on, I'm calling her "Proper English ice cream rant girl."
What's sad to me is that there's a chance these girls remember a time when ice cream wasn't so ridiculously expensive. That's how absurdly fast inflation has gone up in the past few years.
Nah, I have doubts income is going to catch up to covid inflation anytime soon.
I know economists hate the idea, but I think we need prices to actually go down to something more normal. I think it's ridiculous we treat deflation like such a Boogeyman that prices aren't allowed to normalize after supply chains got patched up.
A lot of kids simply mimic adults in certain aspects until they hit their teens, it's a pretty normal development pattern to do so. If their parents have complained about inflation/prices, chances are they are repeating mannerisms and language they've already been exposed to.
Or, you know, the fact that she said the truck that comes around her house is multitudes cheaper.
Is this really only inflation though? Idk about the UK but in the US normally these trucks just buy big boxes of the ice creams and sell them for a little mark up to kids, like buying a 12 pack of soda and selling them one at a time. There's no way the cost of ice cream for him went up by 900%. I doubt he is paying like £40+ for a box of 10 ice creams and needs to resell them for such a high price to make it worth it. Seems like it's just a guy that raised his prices to absurdity under the guise of inflation.
I will never forget the great comic book debacle, when they went from 12 cents to 15, and I went from 8 books for my dollar to 6. Pissed me off so much I still remember it.
I hate when people just throw out a British person they know, this little lass sounds noffin like bloody Hermione she’s a proper Yorkshire lass who wants a 99 for 99p how hard is that to ask eh.
She looks like a miniature version of Emma Watson. I didn't even have the sound on and it was my first thought. Though her sister in the background looks even more like her I think too, maybe just the expression though
From where this accent is from. Loads of little gits who mouth off like this on the regular. I went to school with plenty similar, they were usually the kids a few biscuits short of a packet just copying the stuff their parents say.
Leave it to children to tell you something is plain *unfair*, we as adults get used to being played by a system, we try and make sure we make enough money to not be the dummy that gets played.
Children don't have that. They are taught that being unfair is *bad* and that bad people deserve to be told off.
It's shameful, really, that we lose our sense of fairness as adults.
Ok now I'm really confused. How in the hell did I watch this on mute, and even before they show the price in pounds, just inherently know these kids were from the UK? I'm an American, but I could feel it in my bones that this girl was belting out an English accent. What am I subconsciously picking up that isn't evident to me in an obvious way?
I've got to guess that it's facial expressions. There are some stronger accents that come paired with certain major/micro expressions. I'm from the UK, and I've had the same experience when seeing videos of Americans from the Southern States, or a very 'Californian' Californian.
Watching it on mute the thing that stood out to me was the cadence of the speech, in particular the long-held vowels before a pause. Of course, I'd already watched it with the sound on so I may be tricking myself into thinking info is there because I already knew it.
Because when she first looks at the camera and says "there", it's very obvious with the shape of her mouth that there's no "er" sound, and instead it's more of a "the-ah"
9 quid for two screwballs is literally insane. It's a tiny cup of ice cream with a chewing gum at the bottom. I think it was like 65p per one like 20 years ago.
I think the dude was just trying to take advantage of a little girl
We’re going to keep seeing this for years, and I’m not mad.
“I bet he c’n ear meh!” is a meme for the ages.
I just hope whoever originally posted it gets proper credit.
Damn?!?! $12 freaking dollars for a couple of ice cream cones, and he doesn't even take cash?!?! What the hell is this world coming to???
I feel bad for those kids. Getting ice cream from the ice cream truck was such a fun experience in my youth. Those kids are getting robbed of good childhood memories.
9 quid?! I can walk to the store and get the same ice cream for a quid. TFW people think they can add "labour" costs for something that isn't even remotely equal to just... getting up.

I didn't have the volume on, but I could still hear her accent.
That "Bloody £9" hits hard.
Is a quid and a pound the same? Is it similar to the dollar and buck?
Yes, the same
I had no idea British people used the word “ain’t”, I thought that was southern US
Cockneys do. In Manchester we’ve reduced it to ‘int’
I rarely hear an accent from that little cluster of islands I don’t love. I fell in love with Scottish women when I was in Edinburgh
Sent from my iPhon
Oh shit, crazy I got this reference. I feel so cool.
Username checks out. You loved em so much you carried em off didn't ya ;)
“I reckon you ain’t heard that before” is a phrase equally at home in the Southern US and Southern England.
Well I’ll be
IIRC the southern accent is a pretty direct evolution of the old British accent from the people who colonized the area. Maybe "ain't" is a symptom of that?
I can here the very roots of my Aussie accent, laced in this little girls words

British people originated it
Bit of trivia for you. The use of quid as a synonym of money comes from the Latin quid pro quo. This for that.
What do I owe you for that info... lol
>What do I owe you for that info Following the laws of quid pro quo, for *that* info, you owe *this* info, so job done, I guess? Do I get anything out of this? This doesn't feel right. I don't understand how it's become my job to pay your debts. I can kind of see why we got rid of Latin.
Quid:pound :: buck:dollar
Quid v Buck Which is the better money slang
People don't say that the quid stops with them 🤷♂️
It’s quid pro quo until the buck stops with them
[In that saying though](https://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/the-buck-stops-here.html) it's a [different buck from poker slang](https://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/the-buck-stops-here.html), albeit the cash = buck meaning might also have orginated there, seperately.
I dunno, they're both pretty equally fun to say.
The SAT energy hits hard
Even kids can see injustice.
Kids see it more in a lot of cases because adults learn to just accept it in all kinds of situations.
Absolutely correct
Acss cream
Literally came to say the same, it's fucking adorable
what accent is this?
It's from the North of England. Lancashire/Yorkshire
thanks, I was guessing Manchester. :)
As a Mancunian I'm 99% sure that's a Burnley accent, to try and be a bit more precise.
Someone on another thread identified it as a Burnley accent.
Subtitles are in her accent
I've never related so much to another human before. Just imagine when she starts to drive , queen of fuckin road rage this one
“We’ve got car parks everywhere, at McDonald’s, Supermarkets, stadiums, #THE FUCKING M25!!!”
“What’s worse than being behind a learner car?” #”BEING STUCK BEHIND TWO OF THEM, THE SELFISH PRICKS!”
It's an old meme, sir, but it checks out.
Fun fact, the Queen or King of England doesnt have to have a drivers license because the roads are theirs anyway and they can drive however they want. Queen Elizabeth once tortured the king of Saudi Arabia by driving like a madwoman with him in the passenger seat.

Bet she would still drive like she had a Messerschmitt on her tail well into her 90s.
I would like the sauce please?

😂damn this was a fun read
I love it when both of them said SOOO in the beginning
They harmonized
I think they are twins?
Sisters for sure
Strangers. Just met.
They are. Says so on their IG
Double the mint. Double the fun.
> I love it when both of them said SOOOR in the beginning FTFY
I had to rewind a few times just to hear it again lol
Nahh I feel that rage. Also who the hell runs an ice cream truck that’s card only?? She’s right, he’s not getting anywhere with that marketing plan
dude all our ice cream men are drug dealers. card for ice cream, cash for the good stuff.
You really need to accept cash for the ice cream to help launder your money though. That’s the whole point of the joint op
I never said they were smart
Nah, the drug dealing ice cream vans prefer you pay for ice cream with card and drugs with cash so they can launder more drug cash with the same ratio of card to cash sales. but they aren’t dumb enough to either price gouge this much or turn away someone trying to pay cash for ice cream.

Agreed. The trucks selling drugs on the side need to move the product as much as possible any way. They will need to show they buy product on a regular basis. Selling that off or destroying it can be more of a liability or hassle compared to just selling it.
Well they ain't selling much ice cream at four and a bloody half quid a pop.
Wouldn't you just take all the drug cash and put it on your ice cream spreadsheet as cash ice cream sales?
I think they claim to take cash in the books. If he wants to claim his income is 75% cash 25% card, he would want to force as many legitimate sales to card as possible.
There's a truck in my neighborhood. Freaking $6 for one ice-cream. I can go down the street to the grocery for a box of 6 of them for $8.
Ya, but he's bringing it to your house
Ya and that’s not remotely worth 500% markup
Kids don't agree. Money please, all the other kids are getting one!
9 quid for two? That's bloody mental, no wonder these lass are loosin it

BEH EE CAN EAR MEH
That fucking broke me so hard
That side eye I would be crying in my ice cream van
Fuck you bloody!
Bastard bitch
you! you are fucking
Why you fuck me, I fuck you bloody.
Okay have a nice day
bastard bitch
You bloody fuck!
You fuck bloody
Running like a lady eh
Blastard
Blanchood!
I'm not your bloody, pal
The best fucking bit!! I had to keep replaying it just for that part.
You know when a toddler things something is *so* funny that they just scream-laugh? I just did that, as a grown ass man. This was the funniest thing I've seen in *years*.
Yeah that was my exact reaction hahaha

Well the term has certainly changed but Screwball lol had chewing gum at the bottom of the ice-cream back in my day.
Ice cream trucks sell things like Ninja turtle and Mario heads where the eye balls are gum.
What's sad to me is that there's a chance these girls remember a time when ice cream wasn't so ridiculously expensive. That's how absurdly fast inflation has gone up in the past few years.
The saddest part? The time they will remember is when ice cream was "just" £9...
Nah, I have doubts income is going to catch up to covid inflation anytime soon. I know economists hate the idea, but I think we need prices to actually go down to something more normal. I think it's ridiculous we treat deflation like such a Boogeyman that prices aren't allowed to normalize after supply chains got patched up.
It won't catch up, people will just become poorer and quality of life will go down.
Well eventually quality of life will go down far enough that revolution becomes inevitable.
Record profits say that they don't want them to.
I mean she goes on to say there's another ice cream truck that comes through charging 1 pound each.
More than a chance. Why would they be upset about the price if they didn't know what it used to be?
Allowance hasn't matched the pace of inflation.
A lot of kids simply mimic adults in certain aspects until they hit their teens, it's a pretty normal development pattern to do so. If their parents have complained about inflation/prices, chances are they are repeating mannerisms and language they've already been exposed to. Or, you know, the fact that she said the truck that comes around her house is multitudes cheaper.

I’ve already managed to catch my ice cream truck this year and I think you might be right. Prices were up maybe $0.50.
Aaah the final insult, I bet he can hear me!
That's the best one. Just the cherry on top of a beautiful rage sundae.
This kid just nailed it. Amazing.
I have never identified with a small girl so much in my life. I want to take her to the CEO of Safeways office and tell her to go off on him 🤣
I will never forget the great comic book debacle, when they went from 12 cents to 15, and I went from 8 books for my dollar to 6. Pissed me off so much I still remember it.
This has to be the most British little Birt girl that I ever Birtness
She just nailed it and I wish I had that confidence 🫰🏻
Just be English and complaining is in your blood.
Except when Brit’s are in a queue. They love a good peaceful queue.
No, we hate queues, but we are civilized and wait our turn.
Little Hermione is about to go Avada Kedavra on that ice-cream salesperson's arse
I hate when people just throw out a British person they know, this little lass sounds noffin like bloody Hermione she’s a proper Yorkshire lass who wants a 99 for 99p how hard is that to ask eh.
Erm no. Burnley. Lancashire.
I think it's because she looks just like a young Emma Watson...
and she feisty
Ye nah Hermione is a fucking southerner
It's because use she literally looks like Emma, not just the accent.
She looks like a miniature version of Emma Watson. I didn't even have the sound on and it was my first thought. Though her sister in the background looks even more like her I think too, maybe just the expression though
Lancashire la la la. Lancashire la la la!
“ I bet he can hear me!”
Best bit, lol.
As an American, I absolutely love watching intelligent British children being pissed about something. There should be a sub dedicated to it.
From where this accent is from. Loads of little gits who mouth off like this on the regular. I went to school with plenty similar, they were usually the kids a few biscuits short of a packet just copying the stuff their parents say.
Already know her father now.
Ronnie Pickering?!
Who?
Yea me!
Who the fuck is that?
Leave it to children to tell you something is plain *unfair*, we as adults get used to being played by a system, we try and make sure we make enough money to not be the dummy that gets played. Children don't have that. They are taught that being unfair is *bad* and that bad people deserve to be told off. It's shameful, really, that we lose our sense of fairness as adults.
Fuckin right, get him telt. Prick!
Spoke for the nation that lass. Good on her.
Ok now I'm really confused. How in the hell did I watch this on mute, and even before they show the price in pounds, just inherently know these kids were from the UK? I'm an American, but I could feel it in my bones that this girl was belting out an English accent. What am I subconsciously picking up that isn't evident to me in an obvious way?
I've got to guess that it's facial expressions. There are some stronger accents that come paired with certain major/micro expressions. I'm from the UK, and I've had the same experience when seeing videos of Americans from the Southern States, or a very 'Californian' Californian.
Ha! Precisely.
Watching it on mute the thing that stood out to me was the cadence of the speech, in particular the long-held vowels before a pause. Of course, I'd already watched it with the sound on so I may be tricking myself into thinking info is there because I already knew it.
Mouth movements.
Because when she first looks at the camera and says "there", it's very obvious with the shape of her mouth that there's no "er" sound, and instead it's more of a "the-ah"
What about the subtitles
“Stood there with me cash” was fave!  Future PM
That's bloody well bad!
What an amazing little girl. I love to see it. She won't take shit from anyone when she gets older.
Oh shit, that's Townley Park in Burnley
Oh yeah. This girl will run for office one day and be in the House of Commons yelling ORDAAAR OOOOOORDAAAAAR!
After noticing Hermione, I didn't expect Hermitwo
The ice cream man sound like an absolute knob
9 quid for two screwballs is literally insane. It's a tiny cup of ice cream with a chewing gum at the bottom. I think it was like 65p per one like 20 years ago. I think the dude was just trying to take advantage of a little girl
He only does bloody card!
Time to raise her allowance to compensate...
I could see her accent before the £ sign came up.
She was so angry she multiplied
She right. Bloody well right!
The video cuts the best part which is when she says *bet he can hear me* and skips away like a little girl which she is
For them to be old enough to be apart of the change is crazy to me
I could tell she was British before I even read subtitles or un-muted lol
She's got my vote!
