ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Mummerset

Mummerset is a way of speaking that is used in some plays and performances, especially in England. It's kind of like speaking in a funny, exaggerated way that sounds like you're trying to be silly or make a joke.

When people use Mummerset, they might change the way they say words by adding extra sounds or pronouncing them in a different way. For example, they might say "got" as "gut" or "dance" as "dahnce."

It's kind of like pretending to have an accent, but it's not a real accent that anyone actually speaks in real life. It's just a way of making the performance more entertaining and funny.
