Dose “she’s a dose” - NI

Also came to announce that yer da sells Avon.

Glaikit

I like langer (from irish DH)

My sister's fiancé is from Aberdeen he says 'Gads' it means disgusting.

I'm in Moray and we say "Gyad" for disgusting

Liverpool/Wirral 😁

I went to school in Stevenage in the 1970's and the insult of choice at that time was 'Spiny Norman'.

I've only ever heard it said once in recent years, and that was from someone who lives there.

A wagon is a woman who's annoying or maybe a bit mean - she's a right wagon.

A weapon is stronger. Ruthless and cruel even - she's a weapon.

Notions is broader. If you describe someone as 'having notions' it means you think that they think too much of themselves or are behaving above their station. So someone turns up with a designer handbag? Notions. Moved to a house in the nice part of town (or North to South Dublin)? Notions. One word is all it takes but it's the most cutting of takedowns.

My Irish father told me I was having notions two days ago and I’ve not spoken to him since!

Newcastle:

Doilem - an exceptionally stupid person.

Charva - people down south say chav, but it means lowlife scumbags, petty thieves, the type who hockle phlegm at bus stops.

Aww, mammy's bairn! - to someone whingeing, mostly strapping men.

@blankcanvas3 🤣🤣

Thank you @Fitzcarraldo353 !
I'm liking notions 😂

Numb nuts. Definitely used in Norfolk and probably all over the place.

This is true! I have a southern friend and as a Northerner I say ‘oh bless you’ all the time 😂

😆😆

Go away/get lost/get away with you

Workie ticket - someone annoying or mischievous

I lived in the north east for several years, and when I moved for a new job down south, it took me months not to smirk at a colleague called Hadaway, or stop mentally adding the 'an' shite' suffix.
I'm quite fond of fud and walloper, from north of the border.

He's 2 sandwiches short of a picnic

Someday you’ll go far. And I really hope you stay there

Keep rolling your eyes, you might eventually find a brain.

If your brain was dynamite, there wouldn’t be enough to blow your hat off.

You have an entire life to be an idiot. Why not take today off?

The only way my husband would ever get hurt during an activity is if the TV exploded.

Light travels faster than sound, which is why you seemed bright until you spoke.

You’re the reason the gene pool needs a lifeguard.

You’re about as useful as an air brick on a submarine.

Notions are 'notions of upperosity' from the play The Plough and the Stars. It's a takedown of anyone thought to be rising above their station. 'It's far from (insert notion eg candlelit suppers/room for a pony) you you were reared.' The person taking you down a peg or two is probably a wagon. A weapon would be less jovial about it.

He's two chips short of a butty!

Tha' big Wazzock!

My scouse mum would say "if he was chocolate he'd eat himself" about anyone with notions. Irish Gran was fond of shite-hawk, gobshite and blaggard.

He's nae the full shilling

Emmets and Grockels. In other words, tourists in Devon or Cornwall.

The word ‘crater’ used to mean ugly!

Crater means a person to me

"Oh look at that peer crater" ' "Look at that poor soul"
Often preceded by "wee"
