Comink, goink, havink etcetc
Dear all, don't know if this is the right place to ask, pls forgive me if it's not.
I have noticed recently that some English people, even on tv, film and radio, say the above instead of coming, going, having etcetc. Could it be that it's an accent? Or is it something else? I would very much like to have that explained. Thank you ever so much. Regards, Hans de Boo (native to the Netherlands).

pen pen 564 Could it be that it's an accent? Yes. I'm not an expert at accents, but you seem to be describing a Yiddish accent, or possibly something Germanic or Scandinavian.
