Produce a blog post that is a case study of the Bristolian dialect.
Terry's Bristolian language lessons
Terry presents Bristolians as ones with a very strong pirate/farmer type of accent. I think he is right in certain situations, but personally I think that more older people rather than younger people talk that way. Also the fact that he says people will not understand the 'outsiders' they probably will, so this shows that he was clearly over-exaggerating in some parts. This is probably because he wants to entertain the people who watch his videos. However we can see that he is very proud to be Briostolian and of the dialect and accent he has. However I think it depends what parts of Bristol you are from to the way you speak. So the strong Bristolian accent that he was representing is probably mostly from the Somerset/South of Bristol.
Beast clothing is a very stereotypical representation of Bristolians. it is a brand which makes clothing or gifts with the most use Bristol phrases such as 'gert lush'. This is probably the most common phrase used in Bristol which means something like 'very great'. However once again more older people would use in rather than younger because it belongs in their generation. This shows how words/phrases change during the years for Bristol.
