My wife always tells a story to demonstrate how odd we are in North Cambridgeshire because on moving up from Kent she heard the phrase: "Crash the dodds!"
Definition: eating sweets
A perfectly acceptable use of the Inglis Lingo

I would tell you some of the weird sayings I've heard in Somerset in the 3 years I've been here, but I am yet to understand a single word any of the locals have said to me.
"Put wood in 'ole" - Close the door.
"Up wooden hill" - Off to bed.

Quote: catskillz @ January 13 2009, 5:06 PM GMTWhat about the Geordie use of the word "How"? Don't they use it in the same way native Americans use it? Maybe I've just read too many Sid the Sexist comic strips?
They use it in "how, man!" (as in "come on, man!") when they're impatient.
Sometimes I feel a bit like a 19th century explorer learning the customs of some obscure jungle tribe. Then I go into the city centre on a weekend and wish I was with soem obscure jungle tribe.
