Off Topic Benkers

Segs

 

I used to get massive benkers off me uncle who worked down the yards, then i'd flog them at school

 

Kets. Don't know about further north but it's rarely said here any more.

 

I still say it Bri..... my kids think I'm 'radged' !!!

 

Exactly, eventually we'll be deed along with anybody else who says it.

 

I still say it.

Ah I get you. it tends to be gay men in their late 20s and early 30s. They love that ****. Take the ****er in clubs however that works. Kids are taking Spice at the moment.

 

Hockle

 

As in spit, what about Gadget and Ganseys, does anybody say they wear a Gansey these days.

 

That should be Gadgey not Gadget, bloody spellchecker.

 

I always refer to a gansey as a gansey, Brian, 'cos it's a . . . . . gansey

. . . . and an owld gadgey is an owld gadgey

 

And phlegm, of which I've ''hockled up'' a boatload today -- which is good because it means my cold is working it's way out

 

Wait till ya fatha gets home, he'll tan yer arse.

Stottie cakes

Black Bullets

Tattie picking

Dolling off school

And a good old game of British Bulldog.

 

Classic old word

 

Yes quite often ,we have a huge collection of them in our town museum along with the biggest collection of lifeboats in europe, every fishing town had its own pattern knitted in the gansey ,so if lost at sea the body if found could be linked by the pattern .

 

You've pinched that from Fairisle knitting as all the Scots islands do the same which of course won't apply when that owld witch Sturgeon gets her own way.
PS I didn't realise that it applied to the fishing industry in the north as well, that's when we had one that is.
