Rich Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 If you want people with silly accents, go to Lancashire, they have something rather in common with Canadians and Scots, in that they can't pronounce the word "about" correctly, instead they say "aboot" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerbyTup Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 I was wondering what the actual definition of a dee-dar is? I know that a Cockney has to be born within the sound of Bow bells in London. So Cockney's are from places like West Ham, Plaistow, Stratford, Mile End, Stepney and Bow. (Although football fans think anyone from London is a Cockney and even call folks from Middlesboro "Geordies" - bless 'em - so many of them wagged school during geography it seems). But Sheffielders are proudly known as dee-dars - because of their fondness for excessive use of the letter "d" in sentences like... "narden dee wot da doin darn deer?" translates to, "nowthen you, what are you doing down there?" I wonder where this strange accent comes from originally and do you have to be from certain parts of the city to be afflicted with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandad.Malky Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 I always assiciatted the term "dee dar" to Barnsley So did I but they are dingles. A dingle is a small enclosed valley, a diminutive form of "Dell (landform)". .. Barnsley FC are also referred to as dingles by neighbouring teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
