'What were they on about?' What Grandparents from Sheffield used to say.

Ey up mi duck is a well know Derbyshire saying and there is a book by the same name on Derbyshire dialect. I'm From Sheffield and live in Derbyshire and still, after 50 years, still call everyone Love.

 

Tell me about it,

Love, is one, another is Nar den, when bumping into some one I haven't seen for a while...

Bragging and Brawnging.

 

What the Sam Hill is Brawnging ?......

[trickyob 11]

what about "it's silin dahn" meaning it's raining heavy, and tha's got no"gumption" meaning you,ve got no idea

[grinder 10]

"It's chucking it down" and "It's coming down in bucket fulls" or "It's blowing a gale out there " worried me a bit.

But not as much as " Then eavens oppened up ".......
