Maybe besides the point, but I thought cockney accents (besides being near extinct) don't just say words differently, but typically use a different vocabulary entirely?
To my understanding (and I'm no expert) it's a pretty nebolous term. The point I was making is that using expressions like "oi" and saying "wiv" instead of "with" comes from the Brittish working class who are often mocked by posh people for speaking like this.
