Nope, just dive in (so to speak). Some people get mardy about it though
Bev, not sure that anyone outside Yorkshire will understand the meaning of 'mardy'
As I was born n bred in Sheffield it is part of my vocabulary, along with the following and their definitions for the southerners:
Mardy - easily upset
Nesh - feels the cold
Bigeead - conceited
Wittlin - worrying
Rooerin (summat what babbis do) - crying
Skoyal - school
Silin dahn - raining heavily
Rooads - roads
Na den - now then
A reight lad - a bit of a character
Keep thi nooers aht! - keep your nose out!
Get mashed! - make some tea!
Spice - sweets
Leets - lights
Cooat - coat or court
Clooers - clothes
Tooers - toes
Weshin - washing
Feight - fight
and a poem
The Coyal Oyl
Weer reet darn in coyal oyl
Weer muck spats ont twinders.
Wiv used all our coyal up
An weer reet darn to cinders.
If yon baliffs cum they'll neer findus,
Cus weer reet down int coyl oyl,
Where muck spats ont twinders.
Translation
We are right down in the basement
Where the dirt accumulates on the casement,
We have used up all our anthrasite
And we are right down to the cinders.
If the baliffscome they will never find us,
Because we are right down in the basement,
Where the dirt accumulates on the casement.
Not sure why the Bailiffs were there! Laura, any comments?
Hope that helped clear up any confusion :grin:
i'm from mansfield and i know what mardy means
