Turns out the youth of today refers to fashion as “drip”. This seems to derive from describing people who wear a lot of items from top fashion houses as “dripping with it”. Every day is a school day.

Another example of how the media - and a respected institution such as the BBC - perpetuates negative stereotypes about #English #accents. #englang theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/a…

A nice chart to end the week. This is the vowel space of Greater Manchester based on the speech of 300+ speakers who grew up in one of the ten boroughs. Over 96,000 vowel measurements here. Great work by @91caitlin!
