JtotheC Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 My grandad always said ' were tha born in a field' when I left the door open. When I moved in with the Mrs apparently we were 'livin under't brush'. Others I remember - 'our kid' - brother, scranning - a dog begging, corsey edge - kerbside, tekky watter - dirty water, corporation white wine - tap water, he is not as green as cabbage looking - not sure if this one is local, as old as me eyes and not as old as me teeth - nan answering how old she was, proThey are very long ball, keeper has a monstrous kick (although there home ground is very small pitch wise) they don't have a single special player neither, I was very disappointed with our performance against them.per loppy - really dirty, ten bob millionaire - someone pretending to have more cash than they really have.

grinder Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 (edited) Another Sheffield one is STROP/STROPPY, but not to strop as with sharpening a razor. If someone is angry, they're having a STROP. If some is being awkward they're being STROPPY.. Edited September 13, 2012 by grinder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
