For your information, evil cow, I heard the term "Bacon bottie" on a British sitcom.

I can imagine you two doing a Thelma and Louise one day and going on a mad road trip (maybe without the driving off a cliff part tho)

Only difference, she'd be the only one going off the cliff. I'd push her!

Noooo, I said no cliff! Just a mad trip and maybe Brad Pitt

Oh yeah, the cliff's gonna happen. It's gonna happen.

Hey evil one - Debs said NO CLIFF!!

You are so vile, may you have to roll up your boobies and tuck them in your bra

And a rolly-polly is in reality a Pill Bug. We play with them because when you touch them, they roll up into a ball as a protection mechanism.

A cheesy bug!

We have loads but the only ones I can think of at the min are billy = liar, spod = geek and scummer = Jeremy Kyle guest haha. Also, no offence to anyone who is actually from Dover but we sometimes say 'He's from Dover' as code for scummer; I have no idea where that came from lol.

My boyfs family are Irish and I genuinely can't understand a word his nan says, after 6yrs he still has to translate. He denies being Irish but the other day he said it would be easier to clean up to the back of me when he meant clean up as I go...that to me is Irish through and through!

It's funny the sayings that stay in the family from when you were little though; I'm not overly naive but I genuinely thought the words to the Popeye theme tune were 'He's Popeye the sailor man, he lives in a caravan, there's a hole in the middle for Olive to piddle, he's Popeye the sailor man'...can't believe no-one corrected me until I was 23. My grandad must be having a right giggle up there !

people call money from were I am bangers ?? LOL

a customer said when I'd done her tan, better get you some bangers out & starting raiding her purse. So I said what? she said bangers as in money & looked at me confused that I didn't know what she meant... then I heard my brother say it too, I thought bangers were boobs but obviously it has another meaning too lmao x

This is a fun thread! I'm from cumbria and in some areas if someone's going home they will say "am garn yam". We have the teacakes/baps discussion all the time. In cumbria teacakes are a bap or a roll. A marra is a mate. We often get mistaken for geordies though i don't think we sound the same. Xx

alert! Alert!

When I visited America, it puzzled all americans when I said "I feel shattered" (tired)
And "I'm going to the loo" (toilet)
Both commonly used I thought, but completly confused them lol
