Puffin4 Â Â 10 #508 Posted February 21, 2009 Hi, I always assumed that the word gozz was a corruption of the verb to gob or spit. I am familiar with the word scutch and the sometimes painful result to the scutched but I know not from whence it came.

PopT Â Â 10 #509 Posted February 21, 2009 Bricklayers and masons use a tool called a scutch. Â It is like a brick hammer but has replaceable hardened teeth that you can change. Â They use it to chip pieces or cleaning cement or mortar off bricks or stone. Â PopT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

PopT Â Â 10 #512 Posted February 22, 2009 As I remember the old saying was 'Clammed to deeath' meaning, Clamped to death- being hungry. Â You never hear it nowadays when everyone is overeating and the use of the phrase is no longer in common use. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Texas   10 #513 Posted February 22, 2009 That's a good old term 'clammed', although I've heard it slightly different, 'clemmed'. 'Clemmed to deeath'. Also I've heard it used in situations when a person is standing around in a quandry or trying to dodge doing any work, he would be accused of 'standing about like 'clem' or 'looking like clem'.

chrishall   10 #514 Posted February 22, 2009 I left Sheffield in '66 when I was nineteen to live in Dorset, had to speak different to make myself understood. I visited a chip shop(oil) at Intake 15 years later gave my order in what I thought was non Sheffieldish. The woman behind the counter identified my accent as in the area of Stonecliffe Rd./ Harborough Ave/Circle/Fretson Rd on the Manor. Pretty amazing don't you think?
