In which region is the term mardy used?

[GreenBeanMcGee]

I keep seeing it on MN. It seems to mean grumpy but I'm curious to know in which areas/regions it's used?

TIA

Understood here in Gloucestershire, but not that widely used. I think it's a bit more northern.

We say it in the Black Country. It's not massively used in my experience though.. More likely to hear "gorra cob on!"

I grew up in Lancashire and it was common parlance there. I have moved around since (mainly down South) and not heard it anywhere else.

The cold dark north.

I’m in South Yorkshire and it’s commonly used here.

East Midlands, common here.

Yorkshire.
South Yorkshire especially.

Common in the midlands.

My mum used it when I was growing up. She was born in Grimsby.

Derbyshire - also ‘getting a mard on’

Brought up in the North Midlands and it was common.

It's a Midlands and north colloquialism.

Better than Wales we have "poody" 😂

I grew up in Sheffield and it's common there. Calling someone a mardy bum when they were grumpy :-)

The midlands. Weirdly, I also live in Lancashire now and never hear it, maybe it’s more common in South Lancs where it’s closer to the midlands?

Did quite a bit of work in Newark Grantham Lincoln way and it was used quite a bit. Never heard a Londoner use it unless in ‘mardy bum’ or mardy cat’ phrase both of which seem to have become slightly familiar here ?

Didn’t the Arctic Monkeys from Sheffield have a song called ‘Mardy Bum?’

Says it all!

I’m from Sheffield, l sometimes also say ‘ you big mard’ meaning mardy bum, or ‘have you got a mard on?’ meaning Are you narky?

Thanks all. Interesting to see that it's so widespread.

Used here in the East Mids

East Midland here
We have: got a Mard on, Mardy, in a mard, Mardy arse, mardy bum etc

We're in NE Wales and is used here.

Got a cob on.

Lancashire - I don’t use mardy much, but do use Mard.

Widespread is cultural appropriation of the Yorkshire language.
Like many words.

Derbyshire.

Midlands.
