'''Mockney''' (a [[portmanteau]] of "[[:wiktionary:mock|mock]]" and "[[cockney]]") is an affected accent and form of speech in imitation of cockney or [[working class|working-class]] London speech, or a person with such an accent.  A stereotypical mockney speaker comes from an upper-[[middle class|middle-class]] background.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rogalinski.com.pl/jezyki-obce/british-accents-cockney-and-mockney/ |title=British accents: Cockney and mockney &#124; |first=Paweł |last=Rogaliński |work=Rogalinski.com.pl |date=2 March 2011 |accessdate=29 December 2014}}</ref>

A person speaking with a mockney accent might adopt cockney pronunciation but retain standard grammatical forms, whereas the genuine cockney speaker uses non-standard forms (e.g. [[negative concord]]).
