A jitty is a new one on me. Where does that come from?

East Midlands. According to wikipedia it's a Derbyshire/Leicestershire term. I was raised around Linc's/Nott's/Leic's.

Colloquialisms have always fascinated me. I think it started when you're a kid and met other kids on holiday from all over the place. They'd ask if you wanted to play a game which you'd never heard of but when they explained the rules it was a game you had a different name for (and even some more rules but the principle of the game remained). For some reason we ended up calling football "togger" when I was growing up. "Are you playing football" morphed into "lecking togger?"

I find it funny to look at the dialect even on a local level. For instance the pronunciation of place names. There's an old money type town in Nott's called Southwell. The local dialect would pronounce it Su-thle, but some folks can't bring themselves to speak so commonly and insist on South-well. Like a class difference. I guess like most folks I never perceived myself to have a dialect or accent but it's not untill dropped in a relatively foreign area that locals point it out.

You got it the wrong way round its south well but the new money that's moved into the area insist on calling it suth_ all ....drives me fecking nuts I'm close to there as far back as I can remember my grand parents called it south well and we are common as muck lol....and Newark has a language all of its own gearah! but your right the Nottinghamshire accent is a lot thicker than we realize people not from around me always pull me on it .

It's Suth'all......but it's also Blid'uth and Ren'uth.........

And don't forget Wah'sup......then there's Wud'as......and so on and so forth !!!

 

Cheers me duck.......or are you me marra ?

Have you ever seen a horse jump a five bar gate. Cumbria, Scottish Borders, same old.

A Cuddy is a Donkey

[fifeman 164]

Lonin aint heard that for years, when I used lamp up north regular with the cumbrians. They used say hide van up that lonin. And another strange word I used to hear was " cup ov scory " which translates to cup of tea. We used to say dyke but they would say gutter.

 

And the first one is a teacake to me which is not turned in an oven unlike a muffin. But not to be confused with a currant teacake which surprise has currants in. But the first one is also a bap barmcake barm breadcake dependant on where you are in country.

 

Growler, thats a new one on me. I also thought it ment an older ladys stinky old muff.
