Sheffieldish - words & phrases

[kidley 48]

Hello.

Heeley is where my husband was brought up.

Lived next door , or a few doors down from Taggies ice cream.

I feel sure his Mum, my Mum -in-law, told me they could have a bath every week for a few pence at Taggies, their house being the only one on the road with a bathroom.

I will laugh if it's funny.

Women used to watch whether a new neighbour 'pegged arrt' if she did it was a sign of being one of them, if she didn't it meant her washing weren't up to much and she were ashamed of hanging it out (or didn't wash that often!)

 

We all lived on top of each other and "woe betide" a new neighbor who didn't conform, keep a tidy hearth, donkeystone her steps, or be proud of her washing displayed on the line, or even worse, flirted with a neighbours husband.

 

Tongues would wag!

It's "gone for a Burton".

[Tommo68 10]

if something is not plumb i still say its cockled over, only found out the other year from a non sheffielder there is no such word.

 

 

Just because dictionarys attribute other meanings to 'cockled' does not mean our version is wrong, just that they did not do their research thoroughly.

 

If you let others dictate their standards on and to you ...then they will.

 

cockled ower..however you choose to spell it

 

can mean anything from not vertical to turned upside down.

 

A pet hate is people trying to tell others how to spell both yorkshire and sheffieldish. It is spelled the same as most people spell things.

If you are trying to spell it phonetically to enable correct pronunciation please stop putting t' in wherever you feel like it. Its typical of none native speakers and makes the writer look a prat.

 

something on a shelf is .....ont shelf almost becoming one word

on t' shelf ...looks as though it was written by an ignorant academic

 

here's one more for the list..... laikin ... also not in any standard dictionaries ... meanings dependent on context

playing

messing

loitering

hanging around ....distinct from loitering
