Title: Re: What dialect??
Post by: Wicker on February 25, 2005, 00:44:28: And I'm a Gollach - here are words from my original home county that I think are sort of connected with things we discuss here:-

clever feets - rabbits
clocker - nesting hen (is that the right name for a hen sitting on eggs?)
dirdie flichter - butterfly
hairy brottag - mothcaterpillar (some kind of big moth)
Jeckie fortyfeet - centipede (or millipede I suppose)
kail worm - caterpillar
sproug - sparrow

Oh and something I'm sure no one on this site has:

fowgie bowg - a beer belly!!

Any other "descriptive" names for such things from your part of the world?

Post by: tim on February 25, 2005, 07:22:51: 'Ladies well done' What about the gent then?? Not a bad effort??

Title: Re: What dialect??
Post by: Gadfium on February 26, 2005, 14:41:34: I always loved to hear my Grandad go on about the 'ruddy spuggies' - the blooming ( :o) sparrows.

I am, of course, from the North-East of England.

Other favourites: bonny lad/lass, muckle, and clarts (as in 'you've fallen in the clarts' or 'you're covered in clarts' or 'you're all clarty').

There are lots of clarts on farms... for you to fall into, or slip on :'( but it's also taken to simply mean mud/mucky.
Title: Re: What dialect??
Post by: wardy on February 26, 2005, 14:45:17: We say clarted up and we have spuggies too :)

Fowgie Bowg indeed Wicker. Surely not :o

Don't touch a drop myself ;D

Post by: Carol on February 26, 2005, 20:49:46: :o :o

Does anyone know what Glaur is?

well its weel drookit stoor!

anyone know what stoor is?

Well it means the same thing really. Glaur is muck and muck is wet dust, stoor is dust. You get my meaning eh?

We say if someone is 'clarty' then they are dirty.

If someone is 'hoachin' then they are covered in fleas. haha

;D ;D

Title: Re: What dialect??
Post by: Wicker on March 01, 2005, 23:44:22: Botchituk, Seeing as I am originally from the complete opposite end of the country this is my guess:-

Look at that young woman over there with the man with the big feet(?) and big dog, with the boy giving the womand a big sweetie (or is it a biscuit?)!

Never heard of plaffs just think it sounds like feet but of course the man could have anything else 'big' ;)
Title: Re: What dialect??
Post by: botchituk on March 02, 2005, 13:39:20: Hi Wicker, I'll give you 9 out of 10 for that, not quite a Blue Peter badge for you yet. Just the one word wrong. A Chowie aint a sweetie or a biscuit!!
