Actually it isn't, ---- that's just one of those odd English sterriotypes.
I have however encountered a few people who do use the word "jolly" eg
"jolly good" occasionally in speech, so that one does at least exist.
I'm always amazed in Us films how often English characters sound like
sterriotypical second world war airforce pilots, ----- constantly saying
things like "criky!" and having the word "bloody" every other sylable.
Witness the British in independence day for an example of this.
Then again, I suppose all countries have their sterriotypes.

I've always wondered why "what?" is used at the end of sentences, when a
question is not being asked.

And don't think you have a monopoly on weerd accents across the pond!
I've been living in the Durham/newcastle area for 7 years now, and the
local accent here is almost incomprehensible to the uninnitiate.
For at least the first year I was up here, I never realized the river
which flows through newcastle is the tine, not the "tane"
I also was very confused whenever someone told me to "wack into toon"
rather than walk into town.
The only lucky thing is that probably through a combination of singing,
stage performing, and associating with lots of students and professors,
my own accent has just got more and more sterriotypically queens English
to the point where everyone assumes I'm upper class!
"Which is jolly strange what?" Lol!
Beware the Grue!
