Cazzerb65 Â Â 10 #138 Posted March 21, 2016 There is a book called Sheffieldish. Not sure if you can still get it new though. It's so good. They must have a copy in a library somewhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

lazarus   68 #144 Posted March 23, 2016 Heres one for all you real Sheffielders. Can you think of any words used in dialect that may not be easily understood elsewhere?  I'll set the ball rolling.  crozzled - well done, as in I like my bacon crozzled.  brussen - full up, as in That meal ant arf left me brussen  throng - busy, as in thronger than Throps wife  Any more for any more? Crozzled comes from the old bits of Furnace Crozzle that can still be seen topping old stone walls, some can be seen on the wall near the railway bridge on Charlotte Road.
