Old Boggy Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 Following on from Redial's recent post where he used the word 'Truffin' being a regional term for gutter, I'm sure there are many words maybe still being used, particular only to a specific region. I have already quoted 'Gratten' as a Kentish word for a stubble field. Come on then let's hear them. I'm sure Ditchman must have a few.

rimfire4969 Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 Lot down here in Cornwall. A few for you. Crib: mid morning break for a bite to eat. Dreckly: how soon something gets done. Wasson: how is it going. Proper job: anything that’s done well. My ansum: As in “alright mate”, down here “Alright my ansum” Obviously not all exclusive to Cornwall but very much used by young and old.

Thunderbird Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 Bristol: "Ark at 'ee!" - listen to that fellow giving himself airs and graces. (Interchangeable with "Ark at she!") "Where's it to?" - are you aware of the current location of that item? "Babber/Bab" - equivalent to "mate", or the Welsh "But" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
