“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?

I'm from Midlands and live in Yorkshire and feel like this is a really common saying..but maybe just by me

I'm in North Derbyshire and it's a very commonly used phrase here. Mardy is also used, although don't seem to hear it as much anymore.
Springbank is just a shortening of Spring bank holiday.

I'm from Northampton and this makes no sense

I grew up in South Yorkshire and we used Marty all the time. One of my aunties even had a cat called Mardy!

I’m from Warwickshire and we say it here. I’m really surprised people are asking what it means, I thought everyone said it.

Ay up me duck!

We say ‘she looked at im gone aaht’ here in t’ East Midlands. That’s Derby, Nottingham & Les-toh if yer wondrin, me duck.

Ay up duck. Ow at?

Arctic Monkeys demonstrated the use of mardy rather well here:

Yeah I know that, think it’s common around Manchester.

Yup
It was very common when I was a kid but I don't hear it so much now

Haha I'm nesh. Always the first to don hat scarf and gloves while everyone else just zips their coat up.

Yep, I'm nesh! 🥶🤣

I live in the NW and hear it up here as well.

@Whistleforthechoir

I say that all the time! As does everyone I know , didn't realise it wasn't a 'thing' elsewhere in the UK

Yorkshire

E Mids here, I'm surprised to find out it's not a thing in other parts of the country too!

I'm West Midlands and never heard it before

I'm a Stokie and I'm piggin nesh today ⛄

I have never heard anyone say this. London.

My mum says this all the time I love it Nottinghamshire here

Yes, 'looked at him/her gone out' is said in South Yorkshire too.

Means,- looking at someone with shock/surprise

'A pot' is a cost for a broken leg/arm

'They put a pot on his broken leg."

We use 'mardy' a lot round here too. And growing up sulky children were often told not to be a 'mardy bum.'

Yes, and 'nesh' too - having to try hard not to be too nesh these days when we have to have all the windows open all day at school.
