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

Bellringer it is was according to old folk law dropped by a giant who had a beef with Shrewsbury and was going to drop it in the river severn to flood Shrewsbury and kill everyone and a cobbler talked him out it.He dropped the rubble and hence the Wrekin .Bit Shropshire folk law .

‘It’s buzzin that’ - it’s very good

‘R kid’ - my brother/sister (technically little brother or sister but my little brother calls it me

‘Make us a brew’ make me a cup of tea

‘That’s angin that’s’ - that is extremely disgusting

The first 2 that spring to mind (and have both been mentionned) are very specific to my location, 'All round the Wrekin' and 'Live in Hope, die in Caegwrle'. I don't know hpw many people use 'to be at Loggerheads' to mean having a disagreement but I that is supposed to have a local origin too. I love the way that the way we use language changes according to where we are from. This quiz was really interesting... www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/02/15/upshot/british-irish-dialect-quiz.html and showed I am familiar with phrases covering a wider area than I would have anticipated (but still the areas closest to me).

*Caergwrle. Sorry bit of a typo filled post. Fat fingers

Stop thriving on it - stop going on about it

Cwtch - cuddle. Cwtching is cuddling. Can also mean a little room. Eg I try and cwtch my dog, but she sleeps in the cwtch
