grinder Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Did anyone else's Dad say " I'll get washed, shaved, changed and put same on again?" All the time... Remember as a "chabbie" when asking for seconds being told I'd got "hollow legs" ? My grandfather used to call me a "Tripe-hound" but as my Dad use to say "he's always been a raight grumble guts "..

Madgeca Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 sure do and also can any one remember the eight foot? this was a Jenneill/jinnell from pollard crescent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillsbro Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 In North-East Lincolnshire any kind of gennel is an eight-foot. A bit further west around Scunthorpe they say ten-foot (gennels must be wider there...). In Lincoln and the Midlands a gennel is a snicket. If a piece of furniture were placed diagonally across a corner, my mum would say it was "Katey-cornered" which might (?) be an old Sheffield expression. In Lincolnshire they say "slosh way on"..

poppins Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 I seem to recall that in Sheffield, one did not pick ones nose, one poked it. My friends little Grandson was picking his nose the other day, his Mom yelled, stop picking your nose, he said I'm not, I'm putting it back ..true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janber Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Hi Puffin 4 You got that right. Anyone else remember saying they were starved to death for being cold, not just for being hungry and cornish for mantlepiece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plain Talker Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Hi Puffin 4 You got that right. Anyone else remember saying they were starved to death for being cold, not just for being hungry and cornish for mantlepiece. Cornish was a corruption of "Cornice". My grandma used to used "Starved to dee-ath" when she was cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
