There will be words and phrases that you've probably only heard the people in your area say. The different dialect and how it comes across even though it might mean something totally different to people outside of the area.

Tell me them

Just to name a few.

Yam - home

Yan - one

Gander - look

Lugs - ears

Clegg - horsefly

Yow - ewe (female sheep)

Somewhere In The Ether…

Also note, traditionally we don’t use the term, ‘Those’ as in ‘Look at those shoes.’

Instead it is: ‘Look at them there shoes.’ Followed by the obligatory, ‘Oo Ah!’
