Mumsnet local lingo

[ohhelpohnoitsa]

I love colloquialisms and have a couple of queries from threads this week. Where are from if you say
"Removed pen from my kitchen bunker" and is bunker what I might know as a worktop? Scottish term? Also "I've 2 Christmas trees"or "we've a shoe cupboard in the hall" - which region are you from if you do the abbreviated I've or we've - I am in the Midlands and would say it is as "I have 2 Christmas trees" or even more cumbersome "I have got 2 .....
I love reading the differences and would like to know who says these.

Pawnee Liverpool? From Lewis’s department store?

Waves to Frangipani and VictoriaBun - if I remember rightly we're fellow Cumbrian Booths shoppers 😄

ohhelp Bit further west/south but E Mids yes.

But where I live now you cut down the ginnel.

Yes!

@ohno, butter first? Well I wouldn't personally but don't mind if others do.

Well pawn and plaice have thrown new ones in....I have no idea. I do know of the ginnel/ jennel/jitty lingo though. I think the only word around here that noone else seems to have heard of is 'manny' and noone I know under 65 uses it. It means kind of bossy, spiteful, usually referring to a child.

I’m west S Outland and just heard of ‘bunker’ to mean worktop last week. Oh and scone rhymes with gone :)

drspouse Stoke on Trent/Staffordhire. But I've heard duck in Derbyshire too.

Staffordshire!

They use the word "throng" for being busy where I live now. Never heard that before moving here. I love colloquialisms and learning what they mean

Yes! Doric from Aberdeen/shire.

@shiraz got to be rossendale way surely with that one?!
