johnny boy68 11,726 Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Anyone's loved ones use any especially baffling or unusual phrases? (Sorry to go off thread Walshie !) Mrs.B is from Dunstable and anything that tastes unpleasant is 'gopping'. Mate, my misses is Scottish.. I swear they make mad new phrases and expressions up on the spot as required with some of the things she still comes out with and surprises me with after 13 years! :laugh:We make things up?? What about your lot....f*****g 21 letter vilage names with no vowels ffs.... Lol Aye we do stuff like that to wind you lot up, bet you couldn''t book a taxi to there. That's what postcodes are for. Knew you was posh butt , taxi's with sat nav that's just showing off. Me posh? I nearly spat out my macchiato then. Actually most of the cabs round here have sat navs because the drivers are foreign and can't find their way. We got a cab to Wimbledon stadium last year and the first thing the driver asked is "What's the postcode?" ...and I didn't know. I had to goggle macchiato then. ..... 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

unlacedgecko 1,466 Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 My mother came to visit me in Gloucestershire recently (from the north) and after the first day asked me why everyone was talking lie a farmer. The missus is from Notts but has spent the last 7 years teaching is London. She is pretty well spoken, but every so often the odd word or phrase comes out in her native accent. East mids, dunno what the name for it would be. Its like talking to her dad when we come back from a weekend up there. Apparently my Northumbrian comes out when Im angry or lying...

By the time they've done pi55ing about with the fecking thing, the meter's on a fiver!! I wouldn't care, but MK is on a grid system - a bloody 5 year old could find their way around!!
