My Dad always put heating on before his shower because he used to say the cold “snurped up “ his nudger 😀 Snurped up- edges folded up due to heat, cold etc. Crozzled- over-cooked, burnt. Catey-cornered- usually pertains to a certain layout of furniture in a room. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got some strange looks when I used these phrases whilst speaking to other recruits when I joined the army 'Duck' as term of address certainly travels down in to Notts - ' ey up me duck' being cited as the typical dialect greeting On 10/07/2023 at 11:51, pattricia said: Yes, the Yorkshire accent leaves “ The” out of sentences. For instance “ Shut door” then of of course to take to extremes 'tin't in tin - said - tin tin tin - translated to RP 'it is not in the tin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carosio Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 An elderly friend, (no longer here) used the phrase "up and down (or to and fro) like a skopadiddle". Word possibly derived from weaving machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
