The beauty of language, travelling around the country there are some wonderful local sayings... 2 that come to mind...

Bristol area... "have you got your daps?".... What / why?

And Glasgow...

"I'm away to get my messages hen"...

What have you heard that made you think...what on earth does that mean?

One that had me stumped for ages was Barnsley/Sheffield people saying "put wood int' oil"

Translated: put wood in the hole = close the door

It's a Preston thing. Invented by the Catholics for their husbands to take to th'mill for their lunch. Basically it's full of potato and butter, pretty much in equal quantities. The potato should ideally be sliced and still hold it's shape even though its cooked.

I'm a bit of a butter pie connoisseur

Manchester (she/her)

The word "bluebottle". My first summer here.

In the summer, bluebottles will come flying through the window. In Manchester. Which is inland.

Where I come from it's a stinging jellyfish. You people are afraid of wasps and yet a stinging jellyfish coming through your window inland is no big deal.

Stop the fucking planet I want off

A round, flat bread item is a barm here. Pasty barms are a local delicacy

Then there was that whole thing when the Golden Gaytime came back.

"Oh my god my dad got me a Golden Gaytime I'm so happy"

Cue "umm Australia are you ok down there?" from the rest of the world

It's an ice cream.

Also, Yass is a place, and yes it is the first McDonald's (Maccas) for awhile on the drive to Sydney to Canberra. So the sign many have seen is not "McDonald's, score!" But "McDonald's, in this place"
