tonyXIII Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Never heard of 'mafting', but 'mafted', as in "I'm mafted" for hot, is regularly used in Whitby, where I learnt to use it and I still do use it.

Wiltshire Rhino Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 My mother-in-law is from 'ull. Some of the words she uses are totally "foreign". One day she told me there was an "os on flags". And she thought I was the odd one because I couldn't work out she was telling me about the horse outside on the pavement. 2014 Challenged Cup Winner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Futtocks Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 I've heard "nithering" before, but never "mafting" or "mafted".

Maybe so but none of the waters round here are particularly appealing. They keep finding bombs off the coast here, feral yoof keep shooting my fellow bird friends in the parks and you've gotta be bloody careful on the Humber in case somebody jumps off the bridge and lands on you. Anyhow, you try waddling about with a feather coat on, the heat really gets to you sometimes, messes with your head, for example I'm convinced an horse from Bedfordshire is talking to me...

Everybody knows it's grim up north!

They were named after the Royale, Pedigree and Swallow pram brands that were made in Tansad In Staffs, so though it was used in Hull it's not unique. 'boolin prams' is a phrase/thing I recently heard of from around the Hull area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
