Old Terminology


Recommended Posts

 

I think ive got yous on the " packed dinner "

 

I can hear it now " oi petal have you put my packed dinner in my packed dinner box for me to eat in my dinner hour "..........the tea thing ok its daft but i get it....but come on a sarnie for your dinner.....no i aint having that :D

Thinking about it we rarely call it a packed dinner, we'd say pack-up for your dinner. "Can you do me a sarnie for my pack up? Tar"

 

" Pack up ".......so at the end of the day when your getting ready to go home do you pack up your pack up.......likewise when the good lady asks what you want to drink with your dinner does she ask if you want tea with your tea.

We still call going to the cinema "going to the pictures"

Yorkshire colliers called it snap. As in snap time. My Dad used to have a tin snap box. Apparently they needed it to be tin to stop the mice from getting in dah'n t'pit :laugh: .

 

The Geordie lads called it bait.

Yeah plenty call it snap round here too. Or scran more generally for food.

Our old man would instead of saying no say

 

You got more chance of a pork pie at a Jewish wedding

Or

You got more chance of juggling soot

As kids if we where messing about with something our mom would say

Put it down or I will crown you with it

My old nan had the best one

My grandad would fart and then say that stinks who's done that

My old nan would say

A dog always smells his own arse

Makes me smile now

No one drinks tea with a meal surely? Other than breaky anyway. You'd have a nice cup of tea after your meal in the lounge/sitting room, maybe a few jammy dodgers to dunk. Like civilised common folk, LOL. Edited by Born Hunter

:laugh: Fantastic...............its one of the things i love about this country regional dialect....how saying the same things can seem so absurd :D
Yeah its great no wonder non nationals have such a hard time with the lingo ...one of the great examples is the bread roll . I would call it a cob but if your slightly down the road it will probably be called somthing different.

No I'm not a fan of pop at all, just normal glass of juice with a meal. Then sit down somewhere comfy and have a coffee/tea depending on preference. Having tea with dinner or tea wouldn't even cross my mind, strangely I suppose. Maybe I'm odd.

 

I can't really think of any locals that would though.

Say cob down here and it would mean bad mood, as in " got a cob on."
