hutch6 550 Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) They say there's nowt queerer than folk but I beg to differ when you listen to the names some folk give stuff and it's generally the same thing as what has a totally different name elsewhere. So, in your neck of the woods, what do you call the following? A teacake in my mind. Having become quite fluent in Cumbrian, I now automatically call this a lonning. A snicket or ginnel A growler Edited February 25, 2016 by hutch6 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

According to wikipedia it's a Derbyshire/Leicestershire term. I was raised around Linc's/Nott's/Leic's. Colloquialisms have always fascinated me. I think it started when you're a kid and met other kids on holiday from all over the place. They'd ask if you wanted to play a game which you'd never heard of but when they explained the rules it was a game you had a different name for (and even some more rules but the principle of the game remained). For some reason we ended up calling football "togger" when I was growing up. "Are you playing football" morphed into "lecking togger?" 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

For instance the pronunciation of place names. There's an old money type town in Nott's called Southwell. The local dialect would pronounce it Su-thle, but some folks can't bring themselves to speak so commonly and insist on South-well. Like a class difference. I guess like most folks I never perceived myself to have a dialect or accent but it's not untill dropped in a relatively foreign area that locals point it out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
