In the vein of "Chester draws"

Friends from Derby say mirrow !
I always thought it was a localism,
same as borrow me, morrve, (mauve)
knocking on the back door when its propped wide open and we shout ‘come in’
seeyasavvy to alert a post luncheon visit and
‘heyup me ducks’ as an informal greeting

Mirrow is indeed a word of you speak in certain dialects.

Aw, you made me a bit homesick for the town of my childhood! I've been a soft southerner since I was 21, but mirrow took me straight back! My mum would have killed me and my brother had we said it though.

It's a bit of a grim accent, really. I can see why she really didn't want us to adopt it fully. I still hate that grandmas are called Nannar up there. My brother's still there and his step kids called their grandma Nannar. It made me cringe!

I miss 'eyoop me duck' though.

discrete ! as an alternative spelling for discreet which has a different meaning

Also what's with all the people seemingly confused by off/of? I'm seeing people consistently use them the wrong way round so it's not just a typo.

Off - opposite to on
Of - has some connection to something

Yes I've noticed that and it's very annoying!

I've just remembered one I saw recently- someone was asking another if they were "lack toast and told her aunt. You know, can't eat dairy".

But I think she corrected that immediately didn't she?

Acrobatic duck (aromatic duck).

Oh the one I see all the time that’s so annoying is weary instead of wary. I’m weary of it!

Classics from the (deceased) MIL...
"Did you see them 'stil o ettes' (stilettos) she was wearing...she couldn't walk in 'em".
"I bought one of them fancy 'geeshas' (quiche) for me tea".
"Ee's the 'splitting image' of..."

As I type, I can hear her voice...😳

No. She referred to it again in her OP and didn't correct it until someone pointed it out.

Exactly. My post said using wandering when it should be wondering. In am perfectly well aware that wandering is a word with a different meaning.

So many time I have seen something along the lines of "I am wandering if someone can help me ..." where I envisage someone aimlessly ambling around looking for a solution

Rocket salad?

Our local pub has a wine list that describes each wine, and some of them have deep flavours of berries and plumbs!

Must hark back to when water was turned into wine!

Do they have a great depth of flavour?

Went to a pub for lunch several years ago and on the menu were sausages made with a number of different species. We asked what species were included and they couldn’t tell us…
(Was meant to say spices).

I've heard them called, and self identify as, Mamar.

And to vs too.

Yep, both are used in the East Midlands. I've never heard either anywhere else though.

The time my dyslexic younger brother (who had never seen the word ‘obese’ written down) described his ex MIL as “a beast”

Recently at work someone had written that the daughter has "power of eternity" for her mother.

Loose instead of lose is another one I see a lot. How do they think you spell loose? Looose?!

I see it quite frequently. Wondering when it should be wandering.

Also: weary instead of wary.

That’s hilarious (but also slightly sinister!)

Oh there was a post shortly after Christmas which stated that the poster was enjoying a 'week of work'. Presumably meant 'week OFF work'!
