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

Def Derbyshire for Nesh (meaning cold) and Mardy - Cheshire/Manch have a diff meaning for nesh, I've been told!

@Iliketosmile I use while instead of until . As in ‘wait while we get home’.

Apparently, when the first big set of traffic lights were put up in the town, they had signs saying “Wait while red light shows”. Caused traffic chaos...

Loads on here I recognise
Mithered
Seen his arse
Mard arse
Gob on her like the Mersey tunnel
Straighten your face
Stop scryking

I'm from suffolk and we say dark over Will's mothers if it's going to rain too.

'Gone for a burton' - if someone or something has fallen over.
'Shew' - instead of showed.
'On the drag' - means running late
'Annie twuzzel' - something is old fashioned.
'Grundy' - for something that isn't fashionable.
'Do well' - to confirm you approve of something
'On the huh' - something that isn't straight

Yep wait while your dad gets home!

Kids were also often told about "the master"
Eg you were in a shop and playing up your mum would say "look the master is watching you be quiet or he'll shout" about a man who worked there.

Chopsin - mouthy
Tamping -angry
Pwp- poo
Where by are you - just rearrange!
Where to are you going - again!
Twps - silly

@calm we call them bark cakes where I'm from.

@calm we call them barm cakes where I'm from.

Calling Home Bargains, Home & Bargain.

Thrawn ( a stubborn fucker who'll do the absolute opposite of what you want them to do just to piss you off-there's no other word like it).

Stank ( drain. I didn't know this wasn't standard English until I was 36)

Mutton dressed as lamb.

Coorie in ( cuddle up).

Keep yer hawn on yer h'penny ( don't let anyone touch your female bits!).

Slip the mitt ( when a young gentleman does just that!).

Dry ride ( when you get frisky with your clothes on).

Mingin/ mawkit/ hingin ( all for dirty).

And the strange concept of opening your curtains by certain time or the neighbours would think you were a slattern. See also having an unswept step or dusty/ dirty door.

Look at the clip of 'im. Said it once with a bunch of mums and got question eyebrows. Means look at the state of him. Also hoyed or hoying, as in it's hoying it down, they hoyed the ball. And leave go instead of let go. I'm from Teesside originally. There are variations within Teesside too. I knew someone from Middlesbrough who called 'scruffy' people scunners (we would have said scutters, or that something was scutty - both horrible terms).

Dontsayyouloveme I regularly see my arse, at least weekly, and sometimes say it out loud, and everyone knows what I mean, and I am Scouse.

Few years ago the teens I worked with would talk about being 'bexed' - I think they'd just misheard vexed, but that in itself was an interesting choice for kids that mostly spoke in Fs. And Creps for trainers but I think that was probably less localised and more a copied street style.

They would also say 'beggin' it'. Roughly, whenever anyone told a story because they were perceived to be wanting attention or approval, or trying to be clever in the traditional sense. A put down for anyone trying to use their mouth with their brain engaged. They said it to me alllllll the time. Little dears.

Does yer ma ken yer oot?

😂

Round the Wrekin! Staffordshire?

You make a better door than a window.

She's got a face on =She's got the hump or is grumpy

@Dontsayyouloveme yep I've heard it and use it sometimes. Are you in/near Liverpool?

@Dontsayyouloveme, VERY near to me. I'm not originally from here so thought it was a Scouse/Wirral saying

@Hearthside Shropshire?

’at’s us nai - that’ll do. Can be used for any situations from praising a toddler to telling a taxi driver where to stop.

Mr Taxi Man - Formal title of a taxi driver

Here’s me waaa? - “....and then I said Pardon?”

Doot - vagina

Wab - penis

Scoops - an alcoholic beverage

What’s the craic? - What’s happening? Any biz?

Pure melter - a really annoying person

“...so it is.” - doesn’t mean anything, literally just stick it on the end of any sentence and the person you’re talking to will understand

@choccieEClaire I recognise those, moved to Suffolk a few years ago. Also noticed do instead of does. It don't seem right do it. It never do do it.

Itwontrainallthetime

^^East Lancashire per chance?
