Has anyone else noticed that most young women in their teens and twenties now offer this way of delivering a spoken valediction - usually in a cod, high-pitched, American way, no matter how they usually speak or in which dialect?
Totally bizarre and so phonus-bolonus it makes them sound even thicker than they usually are.
Just where has it come from?
Or is it only in Stoke?!

Thinking about it; it's definitely not just in Stoke and it's not restricted to women in their teens and twenties as I had a call from someone from Essex the other day who signed off with the ridiculous "Thenk yeaww", who sounded previously in the call as someone who was in her thirties.
Plus, I can think of numerous "Thenk yeawws" from women in their thirties (possibly 40s?) here in Stoke recently. I'll bet they all have a (if not numerous) tattoo(s) too. |

Where the hell has this ridiculous way of speaking come from? |
|
By:

By:

When I left London 5 years ago a lot of young white guys were speaking Jafakin (London Jamaican) really p1ssed me off.

It's rather strange in Stoke, Boxing, when some right rough piece from some neck-end place around here says something like:
"'ey up duck, dust know they kin ger a dubble fer 'alf price ternight?" "Thanks for letting me know." "Thenk yeaww." |
|
By:
Kinell, Tommy it's a different language entirely.
 |
|
By:
It most certainly is, Boxing!

Perhaps they got it from Groucho Marx who used the phrase a lot in his films?
Although somehow i doubt it. |
|
By:
They certainly didn't get it from Harpo.

By:
Mind you, I can't nail down how this Thenk Yeaww is meant to sound.
|
|
By:
Tommy has always been a strange one, mind.

By:
Come to think of it, Arthur Askey would be more 'I thank yaw'

By:
Definitely American, as is the feeling of being 'Blessed'.
