Treatment   10 #62 Posted July 18, 2008 I couldn't say you until I was 7, I could only say Thee. I thought Deedars was used on us by Rotherhamites though ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
segasonic   11 #63 Posted July 18, 2008 Some inbred Barnsley moron spied my Blades shirt at the bus stop and launched a rather nasty and totally unprovoked verbal attack which included 'dee-dar', amongst other things I can't repeat here. Perhaps they should listen to themselves speak before attacking me. I've got a broad Sheffield accent and have never said 'dee' or for that matter 'dar'.

Powerage   10 #67 Posted July 18, 2008 A mate I used to have from Chesterfield called it me, I had never heard it before and didnt know what she was on about!  I actually have never said dee dar either as my mum would have killed me for using such language as a kid!!!  Most people I meet dont even think I am from Sheffield any way.

spooferman   10 #69 Posted July 18, 2008 today at work a bloke told me his mate..who now lives up here but is originally from Barnsley. he was on about me to him and the mate said "oh he's a deedar then" lol i was in stitches when he told me what it means.........i've never heard the term before, has anybody else? it must be what Barnsley folk call us Sheffielders, as they talk like thi and tha and we are supposed to say Dee and Daa  its hard to explain what i mean in text.........i suppose it means we're not as broad yorkshire as the Barnsley lot?  more D and less T   :hihi: think its due to Most People from Sheffield Miss the start end and middle out of their words.:loopy: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
