My mom tells me that my accent is becoming more posh and pretentious by the day. I do not understand where this is coming from because I can guarantee you that the shitty little city in which I live does not revel in refinery. In fact, it's as common as the word cack. Plus, I do not watch enough 'Made In Chelsea' to allow me to say 'yah darling'. What mother dearest forgets is that I am not a commoner and I have never had a common accent. She did not raise my brother and I common; frankly speaking, we were raised the polar opposite. The reason I may say, 'yah' or 'ja' rather is because I'm from South Africa and that is how most people answer in the affirmative. I have and will never use the term darling as it is way too pretentious. Even for a posh-wannabe such as myself. Ha!
Ta ta :)
