Things people from other areas don't understand!

I worked nights with a scottish girl who asked me if I wanted one of her pieces. I had no idea what she was talking about. She also said she'd gone out for some messages, turns out she'd been shopping!!

Met two girls from Newcastle on holiday who wanted to "tap off" with those blokes over there.....

Ey up tater is a favourite of our northern friends but the best one of all has to be a question asked by Edouard, a spanish friend of ours who was learning to speak english. I think we confused the poor bugger by buying him a book of rhyming slang and Rogers Profanisaurus. One day he said to my OH (in his very spanish accent) "what is this english word wonkere?" Mr Unas did the universal sign language and he said "aaaaah, I see"

This thread has really made me LOL

I lived in South Africa when I was little & moved to Lancashire on our return. I used to come out with things like:
Tackies - trainers
Narchies - tangerines and of course NO-ONE had a clue what I was on about.

Got used to say Lancashire phrases so have taken a trip down memory lane with scraps & ginnels.

When I was 13 I moved to Suffoilk & again nobody knew what I was on about. I do remember adding 'like' to the end of most sentences...Ace doss & spuggy (chewing gum) spring to mind, not that I've said those for many years!

A Suffolk phrase I seem to have picked up is 'on the huh' which not so many people know about, lol

 

[Blue Rose]

Just remembered another one - Ex hubby is half Maltese but lived in America for a while when he was younger. One of the things he comes out with is Boo-boo which I now say, lol.
Boo-boo is sore patch, cut, bruise etc

 

[Metamorfosis]

We call someone's house a ken, as in kennel. Lord knows why!

We share many scouse words on the Wirral, boss/sound - good, arlarse - mean/snidy, when I'm going over to Liverpool I always say I'm going through the pipe (tunnel) there's loads more but can't think of any at the moment lol

I'm from Dublin so we have loads of little sayings. Like when you see someone in the street
Howiya: hi how are you?
What's the story: what are you doing?
Any craic?: any news?

Then there's
They were wearin the heads of each other: two people were kissing
Knackered: really tired
Mulchies: people from the country side
Rockers: Goths
Young one: young girl
Young fella: young boy
Aul one: woman/ mother
Aul fella: man/father
It's bet on: something's really tight

Now I live in Chester, my mother in law says some weird stuff:

Yay = You, not an expression of assent or glee

Batch = Roll, not a collection of items

Brew = Tea, not beer, lager or ale

On Pins = Nervous, not laying on a bed of nails

Seen my arse = Got angry, not spun round to check her butt out

Babby = Baby, but spelt wrong!

Bokbok = Botbot from Bottle. Sorry, I don't know what a Bokkle is!

And so it goes...

I've heard people saying:

Scran = Eat food
Cob on = Bad mood

WTF???

Skip Rat = Tramp. Fair enough.

I miss London :-(
