Bedfordshire Bronco Posted March 13, 2022 Author Share Posted March 13, 2022 Garbage From that Gayle/Connor montage they did pre game on Friday I realise I quite like it. Heard a few other RL people use it too (Schoey etc) Obviously it will annoy some people as an Americanism and that appeals to me. Might start integrating it into my everyday useage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Copa Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 1. Ornery. It was used where I lived in rural US, for example “he’s as ornery as a moose”. Nobody, and I mean nobody, uses the word “ornery” in Australia so I started using it here. 2. Writing “gaol” instead of “jail”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanaBull Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 There's a few dialect words that seem to raise a smile. Chelpin', laikin', slahtin'. And there's one my Grandad used that you don't hear often any more, bummerskite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopping Mad Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 I know I'm in a Scot's company when 'internationalist' is trotted out. Ditto 'outwith'. Both good to hear. 'Lugubrious' does it for me, too. Ditto 'North Utsire' and 'South Utsire'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiltshire Warrior Dragon Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 3 hours ago, Hopping Mad said: I know I'm in a Scot's company when 'internationalist' is trotted out. Ditto 'outwith'. Both good to hear. 'Lugubrious' does it for me, too. Ditto 'North Utsire' and 'South Utsire'. Being a Scot, I too like 'outwith' and it seems to me to make more sense than the equivalent, if anachronistic, English version - 'without'; at least the latter has been rendered virtually redundant by use of 'outside'. However, as a kid, I could not understand the opening hymn line, "There is a green hill far away without a city wall". I kept thinking that it was odd to make a point of mentioning that this green hill had no city wall, because why would a green hill have one in any case? Still on the Scottish theme, I like 'thereby' meaning 'about'. So, information on land for sale might say, 'the plot extends to two acres or thereby'. For its lovely sound, my favourite word is 'crepuscular', as in, for instance, 'the nightjar is a bird which is most active in the crepuscular period of each day.' Shetland, from which my dad's side of the family come, has a very rich vocabulary, not least for all of the local wildlife. Examples include dratsie (otter), bonxie (great skua), aalin (Arctic skua), tammie norrie (puffin), shalder (oystercatcher) and tystie (black guillemot) In Northumberland, eider ducks are called 'cuddy ducks', which I believe really means St Cuthbert's ducks. St Cuthbert would certainly have come close to these sea ducks in that county. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't heard anywhere else. Akin to faffing. "Stop faffing and gerritdun." Agree f anny was never used in a derogative fashion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
