Bolton has loads of local slang words that are really descriptive... just can't think of one just now but a northern one is "mither" which perfectly describes a bothersome twat

 

 

Scotland has too.... without looking it up what does Scunnered mean?

I reckon it might be a tap.It certainly is in some parts of the US.

 

It's the name of the dog in Fraggle Rock

I don't know if any of these words are just specific to Bolton, but they always confuse Southerners.Rum - as in "he's a rum fucker" Fert - as in "who's goin fert beers" and Tert as in "Are we goin' tert pub". Wit - as in " I went out wit wife"

I think mingin' originated in Scotchland. I also like Goppin' from the same origin.

Both fine Scottish words

 

bowkin is another

This morning's Leyth word is "faw" as in "don't make me faw owt with thi"

 

Another one, my stepfather hadn't a clue and had to get me to translate when our lad said "mons hons" the other day

 

It's another language rather than the odd word.

'You alright, hen?' Welcoming and aggressive at the sane time. Love Scotland!

I used to work with some Athy and Leyth lads a few year ago, they come out with some belters."Thart gooin nesh? = you're going soft. "I wur cor gooin art" = I was so called going out. One I heard while playing footy with some Athty lads "Goo on he's frickont on thi" = Go on,he's frightened of you.Long live local dialects I say.

The bird bought me something the other week for about a tenner and I said I'd give her the money the next time I see her. She said, "Oh don't worry, I'm not to a tenner".

 

I said, "What?"

 

She repeated herself.

 

I was confused and said, "Do you mean you don't want the money back?" She said, "Yes, that's what I said. I'm not to £10."

 

What the fuck is all that about? Anyone else heard/used that before? All her family say it apparently.

 

Another one they use is "Bought in" which apparently means they've done a big shop.

I've just another one on another thread.

 

Fow. I do like that. Look at her, she's proper fow!

I'd genuinely never heard it in my life before.

"Cock" is a good one that I fear will die eventually.

 

I thought it a tad strange when I first moved to Huddersfield and an old man called me "love"

I think it's just that particular old man who uses that phrase with men that he fancies.

Cumbria... west Cumbria in particular has a load of local words...

 

I moved into a small village called Kirkbride there and went into my new local.

 

I was sitting there minding my own business when this 6 foot 4" farmer type walked up to me... looked me in the eye and said "Do you want a skop?"

 

 

I didn't have a clue what he meant.... could have been asking anything from a fight to do I want a drink.

 

 

Do you know?

 

 

Edit NB should know... I know she's been to Bowness-on-Solway/Port Carlisle which is about 5 miles from Kirkbride... Mind I doubt she'd get asked this, but you never know

Rawling

 

As in stop rawling around ont floor, you'll ruin your frock

Fawse, meaning cunning. " You want to watch him, he's a fawse cunt. "

"Do you want a skop?"

 

Jazza, I'm originally from the same area as you,well Kirkcudbright, I would say you are referring to a game of darts perhaps....
