You don't hear of anybody 'livin' o'ert brush' nowadays. For anyone who hasn't heard it before it means to live with someone out of wedlock.

Ways back, if a couple wanted to live together and didn't want to get married properly, or couldn't for some reason, they just jumped over a yardbroom.

Brenda Lee did a song, something like 'C'mon Baby, let's jump the broomstick'.

 

And a married man/woman playing away from home never had a lover it was their fancy man/women or bit on the side..

I don`t know if this is a Sheffield saying but if anyone was a bit grumpy in our house my mother would say "he Is a bit Nazi (nazie)today"

I can remember if we had bread and dripping(coming from a poor family we had it quite often) my dad use to call it (bread and scratchit:)

One of my grandma's favourite sayings was "You know what thought did - Followed a muck-cart and thought it was a wedding" to which we all replied "No he didn't - he only thought he did".

Whenever, as a teenager, I was acting contrary to my father's wishes, he would tell me "tha wants to bloody frame". Is this a Sheffield expression? I have never heard anyone else use it save for once, in the film Billy Liar when Wilfrid Pickles said it to his son Tom Courtney.
