Been discussing this at work. My grandad used to say, amongst others, 'put wood in th'ole' & 'well I'll go t' foot of our stairs' & 'well I'll go to our house'.

 

My manc/stoke colleagues didn't know what the hell I was on about!

Courting and get a glass of duck wine

" Living over brush "

Bowton win the cup!

Bobbins, great word.

 

'Tyrone Mears is fucking bobbins'.

'Camping' for talking.

 

Used to hear that regular as a kid.

 

 

I've never heard that, other than in the tent or Smiley way.

 

 

Just found this...

Bobbins, great word.

 

'Tyrone Mears is fucking bobbins'.

First heard " Bobbins" in 70 off Mancs. Never used it round here, I know Frank Sidebottom used it a lot.

Thinks its rhyming slang for cotton-rotten.

Mancs did a bit of rhyming slang when I worked in Patricroft, " You wanna go in the Jules Verne, it's full of mather " Mather & Platt,"

Bolty's got a case of reverse accent-ism. The further away he gets, the more like a yokel he sounds.

 

 

Your attention is rather flattering young man. You seem to label me with many -isms. I wonder if there's an ointment for them?

 

 

I can't help but think a lot of people falsely add dialect, sayings and 'Boltonisms' purely for effect.

 

And they call these people Peter Kay and Paddy McGuinness

"Cooooooooooo-Eeeeeeeeeeeeeee"

"Yoooooooooooo-Hooooooooooooo"

Bloody embarrassed me loads of times my mother as a kid

I don't agree with the translation of 9. I always thought it referred to someone stood there acting gormless
