“Needs washed” and similar... regional?

[Magpiefeather]

I only know one person IRL who uses this turn of phrase, for example

Needs washed
Needs cut
Needs tidied

They are from the New Forest...

Have seen this a lot on MN and I just wondered is it a regional thing?

Before I knew this New Forest Friend and read Mumsnet I had never heard this before. I would say

Needs TO BE washed
Or needs washing

Anyone shed any light?

We also say 'bogging' for dirty here in NI.

Boke for vomit
Crabbit for grumpy

Hotpress for 'airing cupboard' (airing cupboard sounds so strange to me)

Roofspace for attic

Oh ive just thought of one hat is probably just an NI thing.

Calling people “mucker”

“Aright mucker!”

“He’s my wee mucker”

Away to instead of going to : I'm away to my bed.
At a stretch I would use plooter instead of paddle, to me it means potter about so I'd say plooter about in the water, or plooter about in the sandpit, you'd have to mention what medium you were plootering in IYSWIM.

'Stop footerin' about and get her shoes on, ye'll be late for school'

NI and Scottish people will probably be familiar with that one too.

Get yer shoes on...

Shoes or guddies?

@Piffpaffpoff thats funny as i say bunker for worktop too and my dh doesn't, we live in dh hometown now and our kids say bunker and their friends are like ???

@redyoyo Fife?

Starving for freezing. Or starving hunger for starving.

Blogging for filthy.

Minging similarly.

Glory hole for messy cupboard under the stairs.

IfIWere you're not allowed to wear guddies for school! Not in my DC's school!

Mine are now. as long as they’re black guddies. I hate it.

I think I might've got away with it this year, the only pair of school shoes I could find were guddy style. Let's see what the HT says.

Let the hem down on the trousers and hope for the best

It might just work!

So what are messages that you'd get from the butchers then?

(I thought it was an autocorrect for sausages!)

IfIwasabird, my grandparents used ‘mucker’ and they were from Surrey/Sussex border.

A Yorkshire-ism I found confusing initially is the use of ‘while’. As in ‘I can only stop while ten.’
In standard English, ‘I can only stay until ten.’ This might be a South Yorkshire usage.

MeMyselfand, 'keek in the windae' meaning look in the window? That's really interesting - 'kieken' is Berlin dialect for 'look'

What are guddies, trainers, or plimsolls (I was agog fairly recently when I learned 'daps', which I think is SW England?)?

Daps is SW and Wales. Mucker I've heard of, as in 'Alright me ole mucker?' But more usually luvver or babber in Bristol. And 'alright' just means hello, you don't respond with 'I'm well' or anything, just with alright.

'Cheers drive' as you get off the bus, or out of the taxi, maybe knocking on the roof of the taxi.

Slides in children's parks are called 'sliders' as in, 'I had a go on the slider.'

If you want to know where something is you ask, 'Where's that to?' or for a person, 'Where's ee to?'

And if you have a good idea it's a 'great ideal.'

guddies (or gutties) are indeed plimsoll type shoes. Or even, at a a push, trainers.

Yes to “I can only stop while ten”. Have never thought about how confusing that must be to a non Yorkshireman / woman!

Another I’ve just thought of is the way we’d say “what d’ya do that for?” (Possibly followed by “ya daft apeth”) rather than the much simpler “why did you do that?” So funny!

Yes, we call it paddling here. Not sure what else you'd call it.

In American 'paddling' only seems to mean smacking/spanking a child. They use 'wading' for walking about in the water. Like the old song (a church spiritual maybe?) 'Wade in the Water'. Eva Cassidy sang it. And they buy 'wading pools' for their DCs. Of course we use the word 'wading' too, but usually I thought that meant walking about in deeper water in a way that means business!, not just playing about on the beach or in a pool., sticking your toes in.

I also hate people saying 'needs washed'. It's 'needs TO BE washed' but 'needs washing' is fine. Another one that people seem to say now is 'come with' as in 'Are you going to town? Can I come with? ' It's come with YOU!'. Where did all this suddenly come from - I can't help thinking it's lazy kind of speech, as words are missed out?

I have heard people from the North East of England say 'where do you stay?' for 'where do you live?', as well as Scottish people.

One word I used to hear a lot when we lived on the (north) Welsh/English borders was 'naggy'. And I never quite got the meaning, in spite of asking. I am still not sure if it just means the same as 'mardy' (sulky to you Southerners) or not? Does anyone know?

Has anyone mentioned 'outwith' yet? As far as I know it used to be just Scots but it seems to be used in lawyer-speak too.

Lots of the Scottish/Irish examples, like “I’m after wanting” etc... are imports from the Irish/Scottish Gaelic sentence construction. You’re hearing our Gaelic speech patterns, passed down through generations - who often only spoke English - so that they became part of the English language spoken in our regions.
