My favourites that I still find myself using today are - 'as it knocked thi duck off? (meaning has it upset you) and 'e were off like a racehorse egg ( meaning that he rushed off) Needless to say that, as I now live on the south coast, I do get some funny looks when I say these things but they are part of my vocabulary and I grew up saying them. It's very difficult not to. Oh and another was - Tha can't wear that it's loppy. (meaning dirty)
