Puffin4 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Nahdin, I would suggest that one is a corruption of the other, or both of summat else. I first heard laykin in Leeds in the 50's used in the context of mucking about. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Belk Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 more for the list bobar meaning poo but where does the word come from what about a full ""scutch".,a smack across the back of the head and the word "gozz", to spit, where do they originate ?.

Puffin4 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Hi, I always assumed that the word gozz was a corruption of the verb to gob or spit. I am familiar with the word scutch and the sometimes painful result to the scutched but I know not from whence it came. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PopT Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Bricklayers and masons use a tool called a scutch. It is like a brick hammer but has replaceable hardened teeth that you can change. They use it to chip pieces or cleaning cement or mortar off bricks or stone. PopT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nefertari Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 My Mum always used to say 'Clammin' meaning hungry. I'm clamming ! Don't hear anyone say it nowadays, does anyone else remember it being said ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
