Local sayings ?

[Evans Electric]

The " Wet Haddock" post from Specs made me wonder.

There seem to be forumites from all over the country, so what funny or strange sayings are there from where you live ?

And , those round doughy things that you toast, are they crumpets or pikelets down your way ?

Brummie saying for sad person... " Has a face as long as Livery Street"

Most of the midlands for sign of bad weather... "Its black over Bill's mothers"

Couple of building site ones.... " Shes got a figure like a bag of spanners" and... " A face like a painter's radio"

One that threw me lately was "minging house" from Betty Swollocks. I'm from Essex (no, not blonde) and haven't heard that one before!

Betty is from Teeside so I phoned my mate in Newcastle-upon-Tyne and he hadn't heard it, either, even though Teeside is just down the road.

Must be a local term (or I lead too sheltered a life :^O :^ O)

Betty? ?:| ? :|

I've heard 'minging' and assumed it was a southern thing!

'snicket' (small lane or passageway)

'gripe' (4 pronged muck fork)

It'll be right (pronouced more reet)

There are many other vet ones. The best ones are when people are trying to discribe something they find embarassing and using inuendo. Great fun to play dumb and keep them going! Had someone who brought me a dog with a rash on it's sheath and after about 20 minutes of questioning it turned out the dog was spending hours at a time humping the sheepskin run infornt of the fire. Couldn't keep a straight face at that one.

Or going to swab a horses ****oris before breeding - the responses you get to that word keep me entertained for weeks!

I could go on......

'snicket' (small lane or passageway) - aye, or a ginnel.

'gripe' (4 pronged muck fork) - new on on me!

It'll be right (pronouced more reet) - "What`ll it be? - It be reet!"

Sort of instant heart attack

Miinging and Minger has been used in Scotland for donkeys years and I moved down to derby 15 years ago and when I use it down here they know what I'm on about.

Here is one for you, what is the difference between a 'roll on sausage' and a 'sausage roll'

'a face like a robbers dog'

never heard of it

 

[SLIPSHOD & SLAPDASH]

'T*ts like roofers nail bags' always make me chuckle

 

[Riggy]

"Face like a Bulldog licking p*ss of a nettle" paints the picture for me.

 

[bassman]

Heard the one face like a bulldog chewing a wasp before, she has a face like a bag of spanners.

The minger's were at the bar (females at the bar)

lucky legs (lucky they dont break)
