trastrick Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Hi willy. I remember some but not all complimentary, "Stinks" was one for a lad that had a gland problem, Jaz, Space, Wag, Boggy and sniffer, but most were just extensions of their names by adding a "Y" to it. Smithy, Browny,Greeny or "O" Simmo, robbo, Jacko. Funny how at school most kids were called by their surnames isn't it, like the Army... My pals were Husky, Quack, Cromwell, Boxer, Plusky, Keg, Little Mo, Stinker, Bruin, Tibby, Crapper, Noggers, Nyoka, Chinny, Cabbage. Never saw any of 'em on here, but I can imagine most would not be computer literate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny tho', because the Nyoka on the screen was actually a beautiful heroin. ---------- Post added 30-09-2013 at 10:15 ---------- It's a twist = scam, con game, "free" offer.

Heeley Green area wasn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poppy9 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 What's right for Sheffield - rather than Yorkshire - is there a definitive Ey up or Ay up or does it not matter? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackbeard Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Not sure if it is just Sheffield or Yorkshire, 3 years ago I visited a place in Istanbul called Eyüp. It was very interesting too and I did see a few flat caps. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ey%C3%BCp_Sultan_Mosque Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
