One word I love is "LOLLOPING"....
You can have been lolloping round the house all day or you can come lolloping in after being out all night.
Folk can even be seen lolloping down the road...
Thought this was Sheff-speak but it int.....
Now giving some one a right "LARAPIN" may be, any body know different ?
'Snap', 'Bait', 'Packin' up', all mean the sandwiches that you took to work, but I think only the first and third are proper Sheffield, could be wrong though.
So, 'What's tha' got for thi' packin' up?' 'Bread and scrape'. I like the 'scrape' term. What is it? I always think of it as dripping. (Or drippin').
Always used 'snap tin' or 'snap box' though. My grandad always said 'tommy box'. So he used to take his 'snap' in a 'tommy box'.

Larrupin' means putting too much butter on your bread, too much paint on a wall or too much Germalene on your poorly.
hiya
when i was young the sayings and rhymes of sheffield was at the time not such a big thing, as i have said before everybody spoke like this around where i lived in fact every time we opened our mouths it was thought normal, as older ones, and the younger ones, when they started talking would start deein and darrin an dissin an datttin, an missen an dissen,an uzz an arze, an tingy, da noze oo a meean. i said before on another page when i went to school to call out ,or call for someone, didn''t make sense to me as i thought call was a posh way of saying coyle, the stuff that you put on the fire you know coal
ps as for the sloppy joe i first heard it just after the war it came over from america i think it was a oversize sweater;,
like the crew cut for men, later d a, tony curtis, hairstyles, i remember one teacher when i was 13 years old asking what the d a for the haircut meant i said district attourney; instead of ducks a..e.

Think i've mentioned it already in this thread but a sandwich made with a bread cake was always called a banjo,I always thought of dripping being scrape because if you put more than a scrape of it on you'd be sick.
heres another version. i always thought it was called : scrape : because it was scraped from the roasting tray after a joint of meat, usually sunday dinner, had been cooked.
..Mind you - ah usually deserved it..
