A typical Sheffield person will visit say Liverpool and return saying

 

"Theer reet thick an all-I could na hear owt they sayed.It were like been in newcassel ageen"

 

This exemplifies the parochialism that is more prevalent in Sheffield,making the city an urban version of an inbred village.

 

anyone else would say 'I went to liverpool and got me car nicked, and my wallet and my watch'.

Bordering Denton/ Reddish, nowt like that salford accent - thats severe - always used to make me laugh hearing liam gallagher from Burnage talking with that mad salford accent, its nowt like the normal manc accent which to me is quite nice and easy on the ear - saying that i was in a pub in Hyde last week and when a bloke left his mate he said ' al see thi later ' - just like my dad used to say

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?

I was born within earshot of united scoring a goal at home that must make me a dee-dar

I would translate this coming from sheffield as " nar then thee wot tha doin darn there. With your translation as a very strong Barnlsey accent.
