I think the phrase that's missing is "British Recieved Pronunciation"

That "RP" really gets my goat, received from whom? Some snot-nosed southern twat it would seem.

Received from the person who taught it to you. Apparently it is meant to be taught/learnt. It was a way of leveling out all the regional accents for public school pupils. You too can have RP if you want it, it's not owned by the southerners!

It's more like a diagonal line really, as if the Fosse Way had been a fortification.

How do you feel about the phrase received wisdom, does that also stir you into anger at some invisible caricature?
