AIBU to ask for your local sayings?

[Minorityreports]

I just looked down at my almost empty bottle of wine and thinking of the long night ahead said aloud (I live alone - not sure whether that makes it better or worse)... 'WELL THAT'S NOT GOING TO LAST ME PISSING TIME'.
I had it said before I realised it haha.

Love to hear your other little colloquialisms/madness/things yer Ma says that you still say

I would LOVE to know who else has heard this, I’ve yet to meet anyone who has:

“They’ve ‘seen their arse’”

As in “they’ve gone in a mood”

Not exactly where I live but have some friends from Ebbw Vale and I love ‘Ida’ and ‘of a’ as in
Ida go to the pub of a Friday.

Your da sells Avon

Nowty. (Ill tempered) Owt or nowt? (Something or nothing) Stop mithering. To see a man about a dog ( Going out but mind your own business where ). Daft 'ap'orth.

"Little old boy" Not as I assumed an elderly, cheerful man, No a 6ft 3in 20 something.
Bu zats Norfoke for ye!

@mumthedogsbeensick

Hull/East Yorks by any chance?!

Ooo Paintedmaypole

Im wondering if you're from near me! Have you heard of ‘seen your/my/their arse’?

ultrablue you are right Bab

Don'tsayyouloveme I have heard it as "He's seen his bottom and doesn't like the colour of it" (my mother was very refined and wouldn't say arse) 'Ey up, btw is just an exhortation to be alert where I come from.

I am curious now don'tsayyouloveme. Is it a town North of Manchester?

Mitching school where I used to teach in my early career.
Skiving school where I grew up.
Wagging school where I taught in my later career.

From my late grandparents..
"black as fire back" = something extremely dirty/in need of a good clean.

"They're banna flit" = someone was getting ready to move house.

‘I’m mafted’ - I’m too hot
‘Chowed at’ - told off
‘Croggy’ - ride on the back of a bike
‘Twagging’ - playing truant
‘Tight as a duck’s arse’ - mean

Hull

Not local exactly, but my mum was from the West Indies and used to say ‘Monkey knows what tree to climb’ and I think it’s perfect.

Doyle...

How’s Maud/Henri?
Well, she/he’s not looking better (French)

Well shut my mouth! (American South, surprised)

He sings like a saucepan (French again)

Hold your water (American South but possibly from elsewhere, be patient)

Paintedmaypole doesn’t like the colour of it 😂😂😂

Well I’m from Chester but now live in Manchester but no one in Manchester has heard it before!
