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

Also for me. The kind of kid who whinges constantly, cries at everything. That's mardy. A cob on is like a chin on. Arsey.

Yes, exactly this
whinging, whining = mardy
Sulky, arsey = got a cob on

I'm from Derbyshire and we use it a lot!
It means sulky rather than grumpy. Pouting. Tripping over your lip. Being Mardy is being a sulky whiny brat about something.
That's what it means where I'm from anyhow.

NE Wales
Sulky and petulant

Definitely in Lancashire and Manchester

It's used in Stoke-on-Trent, but I thought "mard-arse" was understood everywhere!

Common in Brum
Mardy arse was a favourite term of my Nan’s

Definitely South Yorks.

Used it in Leicester.

East Midlands originally I think.

I never heard it growing up in West Yorkshire. Maungy was the word there.

My friend from Nottingham uses it all the time.

I always thought it was a Yorkshire term? It's a great word though, I love it.

Growing up on Tyneside our equivalent was "raj" or "rajjy" - as in "she went proper rajjy on us", or "he had a proper raj on."

I prefer marcy tbh.

Sheffield

I grew up hearing it in Leicestershire (not said to me though I was never in a mard as a child honest!)

South Yorkshire.

Ooh I always think of radgie as a bit more angry than mardy. Mardy is grumpy, whingey, face like a smacked arse. Radgie is more crazy, shouty to me.

Used it growing up in Yorkshire but I think it was a Manc term originally

South Yorkshire - usually turn of phrase is "don't be a mardy arse"

Grew up in east anglia but parents from Leicester and Derby. We all used mardy.

Used here in South Yorkshire, never heard of it before moving here.

East Midlands
Although it makes me think of Mardy Bum by Artic monkeys and I think they're from Sheffield so maybe Northern too

Derbyshire/staffs

Very well used by my Lincolnshire / Yorkshire family

You're probably right, @RobinPenguins. You've certainly done a better job with the spelling than I did, I couldn't think how to do it!

I was going to say about the Arctic monkeys and the Mardy Bum song!
Dh sometimes calls me a mardy arse, it’s not very well used ime here but people know what it means. South east.

I grew up with mard in Cheshire but it's mardy here in the East Midlands.
