Dog whistle accent lol
I'm sitting in bed saying saying British trying to figure out why we say it the way we do. the best way to describe it I found is we say Brit but only the first half of the t so maybe Brid-ish is the phonetic way.
American, here. I think we might also be the reason the Brits hide their Rs so much, too. 🙃
Are you talking about the boston tea party or the Boston massacre? If the tea party, what does that have to do with changing your accent?
It's the tea party. T = tea
You know it's right when it's coming from Dieterlan
WE AWE THE BRI ISH!
But in all seriousness, I've heard bri ish and briddish. I guess it comes down to dialect
You won't hear "briddish" in the UK, just hard Ts or glottal stops (bri'ish).
Some Brits, especially young ones, are t-flapping as well now
Good point. The D for T seems to be a North American thing
Briddish 🙄
