melthebell Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 I suppose it's a bit everyday in yorkshire, so folk wouldn't raise an eyebrow. it's considered faily inocuous. It's a bit like the use of the words *Bar-steward* (*cough* - sorry need to get round the swear filter) and *Bugg er*. In Yorkshire, it's almost a term of endearment, ie "Eeh, yer daft *bugg er*" but call someone a *bar steward* and you'd be loking at getting "lamped". It's the opposite in, say, London, where the terms are reversed, *bar steward* is used as the term of endearment, and if it's used, *Bugg er* is the one that'd get you lamped. we best not go near the phrase bugger me sideways then?

xxsarahxx Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 a mardy bum is a word you would use to describe my OH when he has just got up in the morning and is showing off cos he thinks he is the only one in the world who has to get up and go to work at 6 in the morning...

HappyHoosier Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 would you like to get banned for saying it? i imagine it's a term of endearment/chastisement , "OOh u little chuff", not quite as caustic as some modern 4 letter words of choice. But I thought "chuffed" meant "delighted" or summat ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattricia Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 But I thought "chuffed" meant "delighted" or summat ... Cheers HH, for using "summat".You will be talking more Yorkshire than us lot soon wont you ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MardyBum66 Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 But I thought "chuffed" meant "delighted" or summat ... It does! But that's a different word completely, apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyHoosier Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 It does! But that's a different word completely, apparently. Ta. So... "chuffin' 'ell" would be connected to the non-delighted definition, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
