FabSwingers.com forum: Regional variations

By (user no longer on site) OP
over a year ago

I really like listening to regional slang/speak.

For example here in South Wales you hear a lot of people referring to each other as butt. As in 'alright butt what's happening"

We also cwtch instead of cuddling.

Tell me some slang phrases from your area pretty please.

Bab is a Brummie thing (I think)

I certainly got some funny looks when I moved to London and would say 'Alright Bab' or 'Thanks Bab'

Having grown up (and now returned to) rural Hampshire - I don't think we use different words, per se, its more how we say them. My dad who (like me) was born in Salford, Lancashire (we moved when I was 5), reckons that when I talk to my neighbours/gamekeepers/some farmers he can't understand me at all.

Picked it up from my sister in law who is from Gloucestershire so I guess that's where it's from. Had to explain it a few times :D"

Black over bills mothers, is one we use in the Black Country, our dialect is very different to that of our brummy neighbours and there are even differences within the Black Country for instance Dudley and warley say tailet instead of toilet, and baifrend instead of boyfriend

Other favourite phrases include

Tekin the wamal dahn the cut = taking the dog for a walk along the canal

Gooin to tek the babby for sum suck = taking ones child to buy some sweets

Aar kid and sat wench = my brother and sister

E's cootin = he's in a relationship

My ooman = my wife/ partner

Owd mon and Owd gal = my father and mother

Bostin = really rather good

Racked off = broken beyond repair

Bostid = (see "racked off")

Rack me off = will you give me a hand job

Bae=haven't, isn't, won't, can't

Barr = without

Bin = been

Oss = horse

All the way raand the Wrekin = taking the longest time to get somewhere, or explain yourself

Yampy = not quite right in the head

When my parents moved to Middlesex from Shropshire some well-off neighbours invited them for supper, they were asked to be there for 8:30.... As far as my Shropshire born and b_ed parents were concerned, supper is a light bite to eat before bed so they had their usual evening meal then went over to be presented with another full 3 course meal!

i like the phrase 'little shit'. that probably sounds weird but it's a term of affection (with swearing) and i just like it.

"Bab is a Brummie thing (I think)

I certainly got some funny looks when I moved to London and would say 'Alright Bab' or 'Thanks Bab'

I still use this term... It's a Midlands thing "

Add an er to the end with a proper burr to it and you get my usual 'alright my babber?'
