Would you be put off? Man uses a lot of slang

[Fedupofwindyweather]

It's not a dialect thing, I know people can't help the way they speak. It's a man who's in his 30s but uses a lot of slang like 'innit' as if he's a 17 year old boy.
Or 'alright lad what's happening ', stuff like that.
Not sure if I'm being overly judgemental?

It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks, OP.

If it gets on your tits, then it gets on your tits 🤷🏻‍♀️

Definitely regional. I’d struggle to meet a bloke who didn’t use those types of phrases but it would sound natural. I’ve probably used them myself.

If it jarred with his normal dialect I’d have him down as a knobhead and run.

Saying 'innit' even in a kind of jokey way is really common where I live. I say it myself, though I don't have some kind of faux patios roadman accent to go with it. Since my hip surgery I do have the walk though! Lol
The examples you gave don't sound that rough and teenage. As long as he doesn't say 'no cap, cuzzie' almost as a punctuation between random words.

@penjil 'alright lad' is very regional though. It's just what is said.

A glottal stop is lazy speak, as is Fink rather than Think. No excuses - but also crosses in to regional dialect.

Language evolves. You either accept the way someone speaks or don't

Glottal stops are regional too - very common where I am, and most people use them occasionally eg FitBit.
I hate the sweeping generalisation that they are lazy.

That's what I said in my first post - I don't like them but they are regional.
The second post was a reply to a PP - for some people it has become a lazy way to speak, for others it's dialect.
In both posts I said it's just how people speak.
Language evolved and we can dislike something but how someone else speaks is not our business.
Lots of the 30 year olds round here use 'innit' but in an almost jokey way -
'It's horrible weather today'
'Innit'
I have a love/hate relationship with language and a total crush on the brilliant David Crystal

Someone on our sales team emailed "lemme talk to them"

This woman is late 50s
I can barely look at her now without judging her to the fucking moon and back

Standards ffs

I'd find that really hot 😳
Also slang and dialects and etymology absolutely fascinate me. It's a yes from me.

This thread has blown my mind. Just when I thought Mumsnet couldn’t shock me any more.

Binned off for saying ‘innit’? I mean, if he’s not for you he’s not for you, but you’re going to have to go on the pull in the BBC canteen circa 1953 if you’re that picky.

Not for me.

Meaning I would be put off. I'm older but my kids are 20s and manage to mostly avoid it.

Would put me off

I would also avoid.

Is this him?

Where’s the glottal stop in FitBit?

Depends.

If he's actually from a London area where it would be standard speech all his life, no problem, especially if he's able to code switch where required - such as in writing. If, however, he's a pasty faced son of a Vicar and a Primary School Head from the deepest depths of Buckinghamshire and his only experience of a London accent is from watching Guy Ritchie movies, bin, bin, bin.

"Crappit" is my new favourite word.

Crappit?! I've never heard this before & for some reason it's just made me grin.

Crappit.

Haha it's lovely! What does it mean?

Is Crappit like Shit it?!

Both the Ts? I’d say it Fi’t Bi’t if that makes sense. I wouldn’t use hard T sounds in that word at all.

Your examples don't show him as a bellend. If he was saying things that I had to use urban dictionary to understand or that should only come out of the mouths of yoots then there would be a problem.

I'm late 30s, regularly described as posh and say innit. If I was male and northern, I'd probably say lad instead of mate but I certainly wouldn't judge for this.

Are people meaning crabbit? I’ve never heard of crappit.

Crabbit where I come from is slightly annoyed.

I wouldn't mind at all unless it was a bit forced/false

Meh I talk in slang all the time. And I know many people that do, doesn’t bother me.
