Description
Yea...this is the exact text that Yangus says in a scene in Pickham. "Porkies" and "brownbread" made me laguh really hard.
Of course, my reaction to his little speech had to be shared, so I made it as if Eight was speeking as I would after hearing something like that. >w<
Enjoy!

He's not speaking with a Welsh ascent. It is COCKNEY, which is an area of London! Your comment is like telling someone from Boston they sound like their fromΒ Oklahoma.

Cockney rhyming slang.
Pork pies=lies, thus porkies also means lies. And of course brown bread rhymes with dead.

This is brilliant!*laughs* Oh dear, I was wondering how people who didn't know cockney slang would take Yangus... xD Seems like I got my answer!!!
I think that's one of the reasons I love this game, I love all the accents and the fact that the majority are british rather than American etc. I ADORE Yangus' accent... and I adore this game... *laughs* Thanks for the fab artwork!!!!

Its actually called "Cockney rhyming slang" its a term of slang language thats not much used now, mostly in London/England in the 1960's. "brown bread" is rhyming slang for "dead", and like when the 'Orse princess was "half inched" means pinched/stolen X3 "apples and pears" means "stairs" etc etc, i could go on for hours
Yangus is awsome, its great how they worked all the slang in so well, i'm kinda leaning towards playing through it again XD

Haha, I just watched that cutscene! Word for word.
I didn't have the scratch for the game when it first came out, and I just now found a rental store that had it.

Oddly enough I know what Yangus meant by his little speech,after reading several novels by British authors,I somehow gained the understanding of cockney accents though of course watching a couple of films here and there helped me a bit heh.

lol I still look at Yangus with confusion.

and don't forget that every RPG needs a powerhouse fighter and apparently,after leveling him up a bit,a nature lover ?

xDD Yes Yangus becomes a bit of a nature lover in the end huh?

I loved this scene too, your version is cool. Oh and he has a Cockney accent not Welsh.

porkies? brown bread? does that even MEAN anything? O_o
π: 0 β©: 2
Porkies means lies, and Brown Bread works the same as "You're toast".

Oh... I see..... O.o -had no idea-

That's my take on it anyway, using the situation to put two-and-two together.
