One I could honestly start hitting folk with a ball peen hammer for  is ‘bae’ that’s sickening when a woman says it but when a guy says it, it’s nothing more than him telling you his missus has him mentally castrated

Say fuckun what?, that's not the place down the dales where they put the Christmas decorations up in summer as well as winter because there's nothing else to do is it? 

Cannot remember what the place is called, one of the old hillwalkers was telling me about it lol

Quite interesting where some of these come from. 

Where does 'duck' come from?

 

Firstly the word “duck” as a term of greeting has nothing at all to do with the winged bird of the same name.

 

It is said to find its origin in the Saxon word ‘ducas’ which was meant as a term of respect; similar to the Middle English ‘duc’, ‘duk’ which denotes a leader, commander; from which comes the title ‘Duke’ and the Old French word ‘ducheé’ - the territory ruled by a Duke.

From these origins it became a greeting and then a term of endearment. This use of ‘duck’ as a greeting is not restricted to the Potteries; although the use here is very common. It is still used an many parts of what was Mercia. Even though they have very different dialects from the Potteries the greeting is used in the Black Country, in Derbyshire, as far east as Warwickshire and Nottinghamshire. In Yorkshire the main term of greeting is ‘luv’ but in Sheffield, which is close to the Yorkshire – Derbyshire boarder the greeting ‘Ey up mi duck’ can be heard.

 

In Midsummer Nights Dream Shakespeare uses the phrase ‘O dainty Ducke: O Deere!” as a term of endearment.

Rabbit hole lol

Cheers, D.

Another one that’s like being stung by a bee is “Fella”………

Guilty as charged I use mate, pal, buddy, fella, mister, young man, after "Allright"? At work  

I work with people who can resonate with those terms.

Mates, I just say, "how's it hanging?" or "Allright Nobby?"

Cheers, D.

Again, it’s one of them depends how you use it…..and how regular.

So I would say to people from my area of London if I was explaining who someone is “you know the geezer” and that would be acceptable.

But I would never say “Alright geezer” by way of a greeting because then I’d just sound like an utter retarded prick ! 
 

To me it’s a word that gets used rarely and only in very specific ways.

Here’s one, so if I met an old traveller man I’d call him “Uncle” out of respect for him being the elder person in the group.

Are there similar nuances around the country I wonder ?
