    Does it make any sense to talk about a 'Cockney' today, or is that an outdated term?

    Question #94435. Asked by author. (Apr 09 08 7:19 PM)

    No. It makes sense. For example, recent UK Chart-topper Adele has been described as 'Cockney' on many occasions.

    I have been told that a lot of Cockney language is outdated, though.
