eljay 3 Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Accents are continualy evolving and older words dropping out of favour. I wonder how many of the younger Geordies on here can tell me the meaning of these words ? 1, Mell. 2, Gully. 3, Gallower. 4, Cuddy. Cheers, Can tell you in Scotland 1 is what you chap posts in with, spoken like Mell but spelt "Maul"... 2 is what you would call like a passage between hills(sort of) and 4....is a horse... Yeah mate, 1, is a big hammer , 2 is a knife, usually a bread knife type, 3 & 4 are horses or ponies ! Words in everyday usage 40-50 years ago, never heard now. Cheers. Alright so Gully is different. You hear Gully up here used to desribe small passage ways through hills and sorts...... on the golf course is the easiest way to describe it..."Hit yer baw towards that we gully son and you'll be fine...!"... In the west of County Durham a gully is the same as in Scotland. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
