I get so confused when people say dinner instead of lunch and tea and mean dinner.

Probably an obvious one.

I also used to get confused with mardy lmao.

I'm a Southerner up North(ish) and people get confused by the whole dinner/tea thing a lot. And just my general accent when I say certain things - bath has already been mentioned. People say mithering up here and I always forget what that means.

It’s how it is pronounced, some same it the same way for the town and bath tub, but there is a difference

Town - you are going to Barth put on your posh voice

Tub - you are going for a baffth in your normal twang

in my world anyway

North West

I go to the shops via a ginnel.

A greeting round here would be "y'alright cock (or cocker)"

Y'reet?

Mardy = bad tempered

Cup of char = cup of tea

Nesh = wimpy

Chuck = can be "to throw" or a term of endearment (can substitute cock/cocker above)

There's tons more
