Cockney English

Cockney English, or "old Earth Cockney", was a variant of the English language, common to residential London, which was spoken by those called "Cockneys".

James Stevens, a journalist, found it difficult to assess Dodo Chaplet's age and origins, as her accent shifted a lot between well-educated Oxbridge tones and a "coarser smattering of Cockney". (PROSE: Who Killed Kennedy)

Cockney master thief Ada Mullins, also known as "the Unicorn", masked her voice in an Oxbridge accent to avoid detection, whilst impersonating Robina Redmond. Once she returned to her 1920s Cockney accent, Mullins used phrases such as "nabbed it" and "it's a fair cop", and negative statements such as, "I ain't no killer." (TV: The Unicorn and the Wasp)
