A friend comes out with some crackers but I am never really sure if they are traditional or just things that he dreams up himself. One example: "You don't often find a good friend and a full wallet in the same trousers."

Having moved to Aberdeen 10years back I'm now aware of the Doric Language/dialect, not really anything unusual to the locals but some of my favourite words are Puddock (Frog) and Minky Oxters (sweaty armpits).

From the west country I like the phrase "a'right my lover" which is completely acceptable to say to anyone, even if it's the first time meeting them. The face on many a London lass, or similar who's in the area on holiday, as she walked into the village butchers (where I worked as a lad) and was greeted with "a'right my lover" was priceless.

Nesh , when someone's nesh they're weak / sensitive / wimpy. Originally meant scared of the cold.

" Why's our Steve got a coat on? It's not that cold "

" Cause he's nesh "

Fit like loon?......Ach, nae bad, just chavin awaw. Quine, can ye spear yer mither fit she's haein for fly.
My aul-man was born and brocht up in Aiberdeenshire, so was a fluent Doric speaker. It takes me a while to tune into Doric now and I have forgotten a lot of it unfortunately.

Fit like loon?:- Fit like, means-how are you?. Loon is a boy, so how are you boy? Fit means what. Fit like loon literally translates to What like boy, but you are asking how they are.
......Ach, nae bad, just chavin awaw:- Ach, nae bad, means -oh, I'm not bad(i'm OK). chavin away, means working away, but chavin can also mean someone who won't stay still. My father used to call me a chavin bug**r, I was always flying about.

Quine, can ye spear yer mither fit she's haein for fly. Quine= girl. Can you spear yer mither, means-can you ask your mother. Fit she's haein for fly. What she is having for tea. When working, you would stop and have your fly- that's just a quick cup of tea in the morning and afternoon.

most areas have their local words. When I first went to live in Bradford, years ago, it was like a foreign language.

When I was a wee lad in Angus, Scotland, the greeting was always "Foo they Hingin'" and the reply was "Hingin' plumb".
60 years later I can still recite " Nicky Tams " word perfect.

I did hear one the other day that I've not heard for a long time here in the Black Country: Doh try fixin' summat tharray bost. Translation: Don't try fixing something that isn't broken.

My quote on my avitar so true , I could read that i thought how would it sound if Noddy Holder was saying it or even Ozzy

I grew up in South Yorkshire and we used the word gob quite frequently as a substitute for mouth. It was never considered to be a bad word just a bit of common slang.
I now live in Northamptonshire and I was surprised when I was called into my little ones nursery because she had been using bad language to find that the word gob was in this category. The lady was outraged that I felt it was nothing to worry about and that I used it at home often. I am assuming this to be a regional thing but it is frightfully middle class where I live now and it could easily be a class thing.
