ErnestTurnip Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 My lad was talking to a linguistics prof last month and mentioned I said "oo", so book, look, cook and not buck, luck, cuck. Prof asked if I was from Bolton and said one of his areas of study was regional dialects and that the oo would be gone forever in the very near future. Sayings wise "tha's more bant in a sore eye" was the first that jumped into my head, owd fella at work used to say it every dinnertime when he saw what lads were eating.

Youri McAnespie Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 My old man and his brothers always called my grandma 'mam' and they were as Boltonian as they come. I reckon' the 'mum' users probably call their dinner 'lunch' and their tea 'dinner'. Sellouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
