the monosyllabic grunts and the Americanised slang that passes for adolescent language

I've found that the best way to enjoy this teen-speak lexicon from the national website of Wales is to imagine the phrases and definitions being spoken in a Welsh accent. Especially "you're a right homie," and "talk to the hand 'cos the face ain't listenin'."

The decomposition of our language is one of the main reasons that I hate my generation.

"Talk to the hand". I've always wanted to visit Wales, but evidently it is exactly like 2001. So, forget it.

I deeply regret that during my sole month-long stay in Britain my Wales stay, planned at 3-4 days at least, ended up being canceled. It's a great accent, as well.

You don't suppose Goldie Lookin Chain have anything to do with this?
