Grating accents

I din' axe you..." while the other is screaming at the same time "Step off, bitch, Step off, step off, step off, you don' know me." I associate that with ebonics (not black people, but the style of speech). You don't often hear people with proper British accents, for example, talking over each other like that.
Proper, meaning received BBC English accents ... no. But you frequently hear similar badly-pronounced, repeated, nonsensical aggressive filler-type stuff yelled by british people with grating accents around closing time ....
