Have you heard of these sayings ?

[kathleenmary 10]

yes it does appear to be of norse origin

what fascinates me is why did this word survive when others did'nt?

 

Yes, we always used to say silin it down, don't know why or anything, just did.

Our 'Lump' on the Cross was Wordsworth Ave, Remington Road Morral Road, Monteney Road & Monteney Crescent.

It encompassed St Peter's School, Monteney Infants and Juniors and Colley Park (formerly the corn field)

I remember walking from our house near St Paul's church to Keppels Column and back on a few occasions, which was a fair old slog

[Fidgety 10]

Oh bum, I've just seen 'mardy.'

 

I have a lot of trouble explaining Mardy to folk.

[rapido 10]

It was a common saying when I was little although it was a rem my grandad used rather than my parents. I'd be interested to know if there is any older meaning behind the term 'lump' too.

.....and we used to sey, 'shut the cake oil'

 

and shut thi neck

[grinder 10]

and shut thi neck

 

Neck crops up quite a lot really, if you were kissing you were "neckin", and if you asked for something you shouldn't ( being cheeky) you had a lot of neck...

I used to work for a vet who wasn't local. He often called me in to act as interpreter.

One day he shouted me because he'd asked a man where he kept his dog and didn't understand the response;

 

"eelivsin'tcoylhoyl"
