“She looked at him gone out” - what region uses this phrase?

[Lunificent]

My friend says it all the time but I’ve never heard anyone else say it here. I just realised her parents are from Northampton. Would it be from there?

Never heard it but quite like it, might look for an opportunity to drop it into conversation....

I'm from NI but have lived in the SW England, SE England, Central belt of Scotland and the Highlands. I had absolutely NO idea what it meant when I opened this thread.

Midlands

Staffordshire - we use it frequently here!

I've lived in Lancashire all my life and have never heard it anyone say it. I had no idea what it meant.

Never heard this before, wouldn’t have had a clue!

@MatildaJayne

Oo, thanks OP, a new phrase. Never heard of it, from Bristol. Bet you don’t say ‘cheers drive!’

We use cheers drive here SWales

I've never heard of it (born and bred South East) but just consulted with DP, who's from Northampton and he knows what it means. I've never heard him or his family/friends use it though!

My dad's partner is from Nottingham and says this! Never heard anyone else say it.

I’m from Yorkshire and have never heard this expression.

Derbyshire definitely

West Midlands hear it all the time.

My favourite weird Midlands slang is 'mowed out' (sounds like cow). If a shop is mowed out it is full of people.

I grew up in Northamptonshire and I’d use that phrase.

I'm from south Manchester and have never heard it in my 40 plus years

I grew up in the Midlands and I’ve never heard that phrase in my life, is that more West mids?

We say it, next county, and people where my aunt lives ( North) also say it

Me neither, LawnFever, totally new to me!

Never heard of it! My 5 year old is obsessed with how Americans say things differently, and that they don’t therefore speak English. I tell her that there are just as many differences between the regions of the UK than there are between us and Americans!

East Yorkshire here and I hear it frequently! I only say it myself if I aren't concentrating and lapse as I don't like it

Another yes from the Midlands

West Midlands. Means looking at someone as if to say, 'Seriously?!

This ^
I'm in West Midlands and it is a common expression when you gawp at someone who has just said something so completely ridiculous you can't believe they said it.

Calling the May/June 1/2 term Holiday either 'Whit Week' (referring to Whitsun) or the 'Spring Bank Holiday' are pretty normal here too - though I think here assuming it is "springbank" as one word, and a standalone word at that, might just be your friend.

In South Wales we would say, ‘looked at him gone off’ which is what I thought you meant to say.
Not heard of ‘gone out'

Same

I grew up in Northamptonshire but have never heard either of those phrases.

@itrytomakemyway

A very common phrase in the North West

It really isn't. Have never heard it before.
