So I have been looking at the way in which dialect is important in making us, who, and what we are .
( I know I can get all deep, and serious eh ? )
Speech bonds us together, it is the glue of life, so here is a collection of words / phrases, that I have not heard for a while, and thought were amusing, or just good to hear again, now I live away from Gods own country, – Yorkshire. Or the Socialst Republic of South Yorkshire, as some others would call it ! hahaha
” Wang it ! ” — Hit it !
” Chunter ” – mumble
” Gotta monk on ” – In a mood
“Nahden ” – Now then.
“it’s black over Bill’s mothers ” It’s going to rain.
” Yawanowt” – Do you want anything
” Put wood in ‘ole ” – Shut the door.
“Roorin’ ” – crying
“bobbar ” – poo
” Mardy arse ” – miserable
” nesh ” – cold
“chudda ” – chewing gum
” Throng ” – busy
” Fod ” – food
” Crosseld ” – burnt
” togger ” – football
” faff about ” – mess about
” sup up ” – drink up !
” causey edge ” – pavement
” spice ” – sweets
“pot” as in i’ve broken my arm , and got a pot on it ! – cast if you want to be posh !!
Hope you enjoyed,
