Regional Dialects what words do you know.?

Some of our regional dialects are teetering on the brink of extinction because people can't understand them experts say.

Nine out of ten Britons can identify foreign phrases such as hasta la vista Spanish for see you later but only three in ten know scran is the word for food on Merseyside so what local words are dying out in your local dialect. ?

My dialect comes from the South and I live in the North

I have no idea

There are lots of words I don't like where I live now but I don't hate mail from people who like them

When I work away, a lot of people don't get most of the words I'm using. Especially when I work in Ireland. Phrases such as

Getting some snap - getting some food

Black bright - Dirty

Well chuffed - Excited

Gormless - Stupid

Over yonder - Over there

Always seem to go a miss in other parts of the country

I was born in Greenock, Scotland and my nana used to say 'stop yer greetin' if we were crying over nothing and 'hod yer wheesht' if she wanted someone to shut up. I've lived on the south coast of England since I was 6 so I don't know if they still use those expressions up there. Anyone?

The older generation of my mums family all still speak in broad Norfolk and I still use a few phases on a regular basis...sounds a little odd and i get some 'funny goid' looks as I sound more northern than Norfolk now! I 'reckan' Norfolk folk must think I'm a 'furrnier'. And I'm forever telling the kids to stop talking 'popple' and 'squit' or they 'git' a 'thacking'

I moved down South a few years ago from Scunthorpe, and some words I used had never been heard of down here.

Snicket - the little alleyway between houses leading to another street.

Crogger - someone sitting on the seat of your bicycle while you stood up and peddled.

Black bright - dirty, from playing outside.

Snap - lunch (although we called it dinner), usually sandwiches.

Barm cake - bread bun.

There are loads of others, but can't think of them now.

Snappin - food (usually a packed lunch)

Nesh - someone who complains that it's too cold

The famous local phrase is "cos kick a bow agen a wowe an yed it til thee bost it?"
