DUFFEMS Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 I'm Sheffield born and bred and raised with a grandfather born in 1900 who used all manner of local dialect and I never heard him say "dee dah". The first time I heard the expression was about 40 years ago when we bought a house next door to a Barnsley couple, they used to call us "dee dahs" and still do so, I would say that it's an expression used by Barsnley people directed at Sheffielders.

stevie1957 Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 I know how she feels - when I came over from salford 30 odd years ago, I sought out my own kind (working class northerners) rather than the middle class la di dahs at the university, problem was, I couldn't tell what they were saying - 'eh up tha nahs sithee owd cocker, rooerin' ont' cooersey edge ah wo, an it wo' reet chuffin' gradely............' my teenage daughter is a sheff lass and I can just about understand her. along with geordie and southern irish,south yorks is one of the most beautiful voices, preferable my nasal sol'fudd whine by about a million Good for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
