My all time favourite is some of the phrases I’ve heard welsh people say

Whose coat is this jacket?

I’ll be there now in a minute

Where you too?

Where to you going?

I’ll have to spend more time with my Welsh family to be reminded of more.

"G uses the phrase 'no brigs' (no problem). She claims she picked it up during time in Hull, but I've never heard anyone else use it.

I reckon she made it up. "

Def made it up I’m Hull born and bred and never heard that before!!

Not sure about it's meaning in Lincs but in the Black Country mardy means moody, sulky, stroppy.

More Black Country expressions -

Council pop = Tap water

Stripey 'oss = Zebra

Donnies = Hands (when speaking to a young child)

A piece = A sandwich

Reisty = Dirty

Suck = Sweets (if a Black Country wench asks if you want a suck make sure you confirm what she's offering before you flop your cock out, could be quite awkward if she was talking about her bag of midget gems!)

Keen as mustard

I heard this for the first time only this week! A colleague was complaining about a "bird" he'd met on a night out who seemed "keen as mustard" then stopped showing interest. Perhaps it's the expression or the way he said it...I found it hilarious!

Black breet - absolutely filthy

Snicket - a ginnel
