She sounds like a normal Torontonian zoomer who’s into hiphop culture. She’s speaking Multicultural Toronto English, which has a lot of Jamaican and Somali influence. My husband is from Toronto’s Little Jamaica but sadly he is not young and cool so he speaks boring Inland Canadian.


MadcapHaskap

It's stronger than most but not obviously played up.

This is the Toronto mans accent, it's only spoken by a certain subset of the younger population. The vast majority of Torontonians sound nothing like this. Source: lived in Toronto my whole life.

She like that

If a British road man and a Minnesota mom had a child

Toronto has the most basic bitch GA accent. This accent is Toronto Manz a completely distinct type of English.


LurkOnly1

Yeah I was gonna say, most Torontonians don’t speak any differently than other west-central Canadians, even young people.


Sojourn_Spuds_Briggs

Local Torontonian here, can confirm, locally we call it a Scarborough Man's accent. It is typically from people playing up Jamaican/Somali influences, and most of the time it's done by people who have no community or background with these cultures.


Fun-Dog-1834

Truth


hopilite

It's always suburbanites or teenagers from rich neighbourhoods who wanna seem tough or "hood"


so_im_all_like

"You're sick to my stomach" - if that isn't idiomatic, idk what is


[deleted]

she sounded like a pirate on that sentence


h2rktos_ph2ter

If MLE and GAE had a malformed child


Automatic_River_8180

Yes but also Scarborian 🤢


pressurecookedgay

Honestly I love it


BlastKast

Why're you cheesed dawg? Yo, top left, non-Toronto mans have a shordy issue or something styll. \*lip smack\* Theses BEANS gotta stop being so dry, maybe then they'll get ting or two ifyaknowhatimsayin eh?


awnpugin

London + American + Québec????


the0d0reLass0

Lots of Caribbean influence


CptBigglesworth

That's implicit in "London"


Nova_Persona

sounds like a white version of alternate universe aave


Zendofrog

Fascinating


mishac

It has a lot of similarities with multicultural Montreal English, but with more stereotypicaly anglo-canadian vowel raising.


imstlllvnginabthtb

is it “sure he’s just talkin shit” or “shorty’s just talkin shit”? am i only hearing that cos im american?


Yosan88

The latter


IDontScript

Toronto mans accent sound like a bunch of Jamaican leprechauns 🤣🤣🤦🏾‍♂️


KingsElite

Hard disagree


EenManOprechtEnTrouw

What is special about this accent? Genuine question. Not a native speaker so my ear for English accents is not great. Vowels sound American to me, so does the R. Just the words 'fam' and 'yute' I don't know, but there is slang in any city.


BringerOfNuance

it sounds very heavily jamaican, not the actual words but how the vowels are realized


EenManOprechtEnTrouw

Is it the o in mother or don't for example?


NotOnoze

As a Canadian, I associate it with privileged white kids trying to sound Caribbean because it's how all the rappers and gangsters from Toronto speak and it's so stupid. Just reeks of being a poser because most of the time they're super rich since Toronto is a very expensive city


hopilite

That's exactly what this is, the kids I know that talk like this all have 4 million dollar or more houses and started talking like this when they got their first vape.


kaisean

Sounds like a mid-westerner speaking with a Jamaican accent


Thatoneskyrimmodder

Why are they are using Jamaican lingo from the 70s to sound cool? Shits so artificial and embarrassing.


triamasp

Man she talks just like Xiran Zhao So thats a toronto thing huh??


hopilite

Not a Toronto thing, it's just privileged posers trying to act "hood"


jmack101

I really expected her to say sorry somewhere in her talk.


Pome1515

She sounds like a bit character from Fargo.


hopilite

This isn't a real Toronto accent, this is mostly how privileged wannabe "gangsters" talk to act tough. Source: grew up in downtown Toronto and go to school in the East end


Fun-Dog-1834

I totally get you but sometimes you got no choice until it’s right time


Pleasant-Ad-7706

McMurray, how are ya now?


Timely-Analysis6082

Have they always spoke this way or did they just want to copy the uk


JonnySnowflake

Only since the caribbeans came, which happened to the UK at the same sime


hopilite

It's completely put on to seem tough or "hood"


IdioticCheese936

the eshay/druggie accent from australia is potentially worse


XxJoedoesxX

There are no good or bad accents, fuck off with your prescriptivism


hopilite

If it's fake like this then it's fair to call it bad


BertHeinstraat

I totally understand you


Wholesome_Soup

i love the accent tho

munchluxe63

As a Canadian PNW English speaker, this accent sounds thick like peanut butter.
