What's your word for ...

[SaltyAF]

I live somewhere with a fabulously rich dialect. Sometimes I think it must sound like gobbledygook to others.

What do you think 'cakey' means?

Give me your obscure slang!

To me it would mean 'a bit like a cake - but not a cake'.

I'm sure that's not how you use it though.

You'd think!

Cake hole? As in shut your cake hole?

Cakey where I am from means lucky ...a person who always falls on their feet.

Cakey = greedy. As in “You fat, cakey pig!”

Here it means sappy/wet/pathetic. Such a great word.

Another is 'hellish', but here it just means really/very, as in 'hellish funny' / 'hellish good'.

Cakey - thick and “claggy”

Eg “her foundation is a bit cakey”

😂 thats exactly the example I was going to use.

Where I’m from we use the words ‘slutch’ and also ‘bortered’ or ‘bawtered’ not sure how it’s spelt! I don’t think either are in the English dictionary.

Slutch: He walked through the field and was covered in slutchafterwards

Bawtered or bortered: It was hot in the factory and he was bawtered in ‘sweat’

Clemt: I am clemt, I have not eaten all day.

Clemmed means hungry here

Thank you from a bus or taxi = Cheers Drive

Would be thickly applied make-up here too.

Drive here too.

Sheets = pounds.

'How much, drive?'
'Fifty sheets, mon.'

Where is this dialect spoken OP?

My bf uses cakey to describe someone flaky (equally obscure in meaning), a bit crazy or erratic in behaviour.

We have the strange word, 'hellaver' round here as in 'it's hellaver good night' or 'hellaver expensive'.

Cakey means the way you would ask a very young toddler if they want some cake.

Can we have some more examples OP I'm finding this fascinating?

I live in a 'Cheers Drive' city too. Regardless of whether the bus/taxi was maftin' or not.

I've got a 'Cheers drive' face mask from St Nick's market. No one 'round here has a clue what it is about.

Where I'm from cakey is a word used for a femail, wears lots of make up and is overly nice in a fake way.

Face can be grid or dial (admittedly mostly used ironically).

I've heard grid for face before (Liverpool)

Steamin' has caused problems for me in the past - in Scotland it means drunk but in Liverpool means horny
