[kippax casual]

Yeah I usually watch them courtesy of Shady but today it is on in the pub so will be going for a few pints

 

[isgeorge]

skally, eearrr mate, dibble.

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Had some funny looks with this bit I am convinced that when you do scissors paper stone, you say something like:

Sizz Bar, Sizz Bar Brick (??) whilst flapping your hand

Maybe just me then........................!! Nobody anywhere seems to know this! Must have been a Cranwell Drive, Burnage thing!

ancoats aswell fella

 

[berger10]

Oh aye (?)

 

[Joycee Banercheck]

We use siz bam brick in Heywood. Sizz meaning scizzors, brick meaning stone. WTF is bam?

 

[guv]

Has anyone said "mithering" yet?

 

[blueshortshorts]

one of favourites is one that is used more by the older generation one... "what a pudding" or "what a lemon" , when describing playes such as Vass, Jihai etc.

Haven't heard it used outside

one of my favourites is `goosed` (knackered)

in stockport they say `paggard` which means pissed or totally fucked

and an old one you don`t hear much these days is `fow` (ugly)
as in look at that bird over there she`s minging or
she`s FOW as fuck!!

goosed is an excellent one

 

[brass neck]

Goosed is used all over the north, dibble come from the show Top Cat which was a cartoon version of the 1960's American T.V show Sergeant Bilko staring Phil Silvers, all rhyming slang was derived from London it was used as a secret code for the dodgy robbing bastard cockneys to pass messages with out the "Peelers" (police named after the first commissioner of the met originally from Bury.... Robert Peel) Vext I should imagine comes from vexated pissed off, Lashed for pissed will probably be a navel derivative , getting the lash (whip) for being drunk on the ship, Numpty is a scottish word as is mingin, Toerag is used all over britain as is butty, bog, nowt, Laters for goodbye, time for ages and safe for good, is a ethnic thing caribbean I would say probably with its roots in patwar, tomoz is a shorthand thing, offy is used all over, I would say a more Mancunian thing for a offy is "outdoor" but i would imagine that's used elsewhere as well, mard is used in the midlands a lot, keks is used all over England is is grots, underwackers was one we used to use!! our kid i would say is quite Mancunian but mainly prevalent in this "NEW" Mancunian that was invented in the late 80's (that stupid accent that has little to do with Manchester's lancastrian sounds and was completely made up to sound cool when the Manchester music scene went massive,Kite is used a lot but I was brought up using it when someone had a fat belly not so much a face, scriking is also used all over the north. Words from my up bringing in west cumbria were...scop (throw) ol'lad and ol'las (mum and dad) gaan yam (going home) cuddy (donkey) laarl (little) marra (mate) we would count in cumbrian at school.... yan, tan, tethera, methara, pip, (1 2 3 4 5) The old timers would say stuff like wes thu fre (where are you from) weird really, all the old stuff will eventually die out and be replaced by modern colocialisms

This was quite funny brassneck until you added your 100 miles from Manchester take on the subject.
Alot of what you said was probably correct but you`ve taken it far too serious, everyone knows where `dibble` derives from but is still a commonly used word by mancunians as is goosed,skriking,mard & ginnle.
As for `new mancunian` this accent has been around for generations spread all across Gtr Manchester from the inner city areas of Manchester & salford to the new estates of the slum clearances of the 60`s & 70`s.

As for your cumbrian bollocks it sounds like farmers slang for counting sheep!!

 

[MelbourneBlue]

not guilty your honour

Ha ha ha id prefer to count them than what you do with them...Your right goosed. ginnle mard skriking are used by Mancunians but the thread was titled MANCUNIAN WORDS. As for the accents, listen to Davey Jones (of the monkeys fame) in the corronation street as a kid, he was from deepest Manchester, there wasnt a nasle sound to his accent, not one eee-aaaahh, no "sorrrtiiid" in evidence, the accsent much like the Australian accsent was totally made up in a attempt to distinguish one group from another.

What a lot of crap to suggest all Mancs had one accent, accents are not and never have been uniform in Manchester or any other place.
