Sheffieldish - words & phrases


Recommended Posts

We had a seemingly ill tempered neighbour at the bottom of our garden and our ball always landed on his well tended plants when we were playing.

 

Grandma always called him Silam Case.

 

We used to ask him, "Can we get our ball back, Mr Case?"

 

Wasn't until we grew up we realised that Grandma was actually referring to him as an "asylum case".

 

No wonder the poor guy was always in a bad mood.

Reading that, quite tickled me, and reminded me of my cousin, Lisa, who, when she was a wee'un she would recite the Lord's Prayer thus:-

 

Our Father,

 

Who was shot in heaven,

 

Harold be thy name...

 

(our grandpa was called Harold, which made it all the funnier)
