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

Kleptronic - ahh so maybe it originated from Liverpool then!! 🤔

Hushabyelullaby yeah, I think you’re right, it is a scouse saying! Would make sense, as my dad used to spend a day a week in Liverpool with his work, and from a young age also!

Used to work with a woman who said “do you think I came up the Lagan in a bubble” Which I quite liked, but I don’t have the NI accent to carry it off.

Where I live it's the bann in a bubble!

Gurt - big
Jasper - wasp
Emmet - ant
Emmet Bütt - ant hill
Grockle - tourist
Where's it to? - where is it?
That wind/rain is shramming - that wind/rain is the sort of cold that gets in your bones

I didn't know many of these words were dialect till I went away from home, and people didn't know what I was on about.

Also, I remember when my father was talking to the farm workers, they tended to gender words - talking about a water leak, when they couldn't find the pipe, "she be down there somewhere."

Woodlice have about a million different local names - there's a couple of websites listing many of them.

My late MIL used to say she was going to see Mrs Murphy.
