Do you have sayings in your area that others who aren't local, wouldn't have a clue what you were talking about. ?

I told someone that another person was " one sick puppy" and now they keep referring to my dog

Titz Towers, North Notts

One of my favourite local sayings is:

'Are you from Warsop?'

pronounced as:

'Ey up, are tha from Whaaaarssap?'

It means could you kindly close the door, please, it's getting cold in here.

It comes from the strike of 1926.

Putting on your Dags means putting on your house clothes to lounge around in and also the poo at the back of the sheep's bottom/it means casual - and being a dag is a sort of nerd ....

Of course thongs - flip flops are just weird - weird words

Bog in and have a bit of tucker - let's eat

As mad as a cut snake - angry

Back of Bourke - far away

Give it a burl - give it a go

York

"reet fratchy"

A lot of northern slang is actually based on old norse.

And wanker means the same wherever you are and it is meant to be rude: actually it comes from times when a lot of mechanical devices needed a reciprocal movement to operate, the village pump, (yea that preceded the bicycle), organs, anything with bellows etc. The word stuck because it rhymes with crank which is a circular as opposed to up and down movement. I think wanker as a pejorative term is a recent phenomenon and it may have started as East End argot.

Even where you come from lassie 'wanker' is a darn site more rude than silly. It implies offensively stupid, jobsworth, stupidly stubborn and a public nuisance.

I think the foreign media (i.e. Hollywood) has kind of ousted our local identity and you are more likely to here kids from Alnwick to Penzance using terms like 'the feds' than the local vernacular for the police (terms like Bizzies, Scuffers, Plod seem to be dying out to be replaced by whatever Hollywood uses).

Locally don't hear many people referring to St.Albans as Snorbens much these days.

"Do you have sayings in your area that others who aren't local, wouldn't have a clue what you were talking about. ?

I told someone that another person was " one sick puppy" and now they keep referring to my dog "

Isn't sick puppy an American one?

It always used to be in cop films/shows

I think the phrase 'putting your parts on' is a local Norfolk one.

It means acting up, having a tantrum.

It is.

On a slightly different tack, my mind has been working on the issue if we end up with Trump as POTUS and Johnson as PM.

Trump = fart

Johnson = penis.

"A north Warwickshire saying that stuck with me was marra another word for mate "

Mara's and Gary's are ecstasy tablets down here! Charge is cocaine. Buzzing means disgusting or smelly. Hanging is also disgusting. Daps are trainers. Half an half is half chips half rice usually with a curry. Rissole is something sold in our chip shops, sausage meat in breadcrumbs! A dwt is a small person. Cwtch is a cuddle. Lush is beautiful or very nice. Do it now in a minute means I'm on the case but I need a minute to complete the action! Alright or wha? Means hello! Chopsing means someone is mouthing off. Tampin means you are seriously annoyed or pissed off! A Bampi is your grandfather!

Daps, lush, chopsing, tamping and half and half mean the same this side of the bridge as well. My family always call me chopsy. Normally when I'm tamping.
