trastrick   866 #1202 Posted November 22, 2013 My gran n grandad used the word "doings" a lot. Like..."Shane,where's that doings?" Or.."Is that that doings over there?"  Strange.....  In our family it was usually code for money lent, promised, or owed, but not mentioned in public, as in, "'ave yer got t' doins?"  Or a variation, "that there".  "'ave you got that there?".

He also pronounced J as "Jai"  Pete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
GLASGOWOODS   10 #1205 Posted November 22, 2013 Hiya Glasgow, This is a question for you mate, when I was on business in Nottingham a few years ago met a bloke from Glasgow, and he said that people often went out for "messages".  I asked him what these were and he said food shopping, have you heard this term mate. He also pronounced J as "Jai"  Pete  Hey-up Pete!  Yes messages is a term used for shopping in Glasgow.But,to be honest,it's not used that much. Probably the older generation.  I get puzzled looks if i say 'pop' They say juice. Breadcakes become rolls. Been called a 'fanny' on the odd occasion. (which i found a bit insulting) it just means 'idiot' haha. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Plain Talker   11 #1207 Posted November 22, 2013 Cheers it's strange our son in law is from Barnsley, and they call bread-cakes teacakes, we've tried to educate him that teacakes have currants in, or are little chocolate treats with marshmallow in.  If he's a barnsleyite, you should surely know, there's a difference... A bread cake is a "Tee-a-cake" and a teacake is a "Cerrant (currant) tea-a-cake" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

soft ayperth   11 #1210 Posted November 28, 2013 My mother, whose real name was Nellie, was nicknamed "Mag" by relatives of her generation. Apparently, this was because she practiced the art of "magging" - chattering a mile a minute - when she was a child.  Anyone else heard that expression - magging?
