and wondered about words you use to describe things like being drunk, the weather, and so on
for instance where I'm from we say things like
bevvied or plastered to mean drunk
cracking the flags......its dead sunny
Hammering/battering/bouncing it down.....its raining rather a lot
trackies and trainies ........casual attire of tracksuit bottoms and training shoes
p!SS head.....drunkard
smack head.....person who takes drugs
they would take the eyes out of your head round here, and then come back for your eyelashes.......nothing is safe here, it will get robbed
god you could bring tears to a glass eye........said to a sympathy seeker telling a sob story
tom pepper....a liar
spat the dummy or seen his ar$e......lost his temper
brass monkeys.......really cold (as in it will freeze the balls off a brass monkey out there)
just wondered about people from other parts of the country....cos what I have posted above may sound hilarious to someone from elsewhere in this fair isle heehee
This can be like our own little language course.....astound your friends and family by learning a 'foreign' language....and suddenly lapsing into another regions dialect!! :lol
who says swinging isnt educational too??
