spindolero 1,111 Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 mentioning slang for the police...random type question but does old bill come from the tv series? also where does the term cossa come from? my generation call them feds i guess word coming from america(blame mtv) or pigs...but my dads age group call them cossa's :/ just wondering why that word. old bill been used for hundreds of years - the itv series got it from that, not vice versa. i've heards Mancs use Dibble for police ( which is obviously taken from a telly prgramme) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

greg64 2,859 Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 there are lots of gypsy words used in today society, the most common one is chav, the word chav comes from the romany word chavy which means boy. youd be suprised od the amount of words you use are derived from the romany language. a few are parnie which mean rain, juck which means dog, gavvers means police i think? not too sure if im wrong correct me because i want to learn. LOLLY POP IS APPERNTLY DERIVED FROM A ROMANY WORD,FROM WHEN TRAVELLERS USED TO SELL TOFFEE APPLES LOLI PHABE = RED APPLE Quote Link to post Share on other sites
