Git. As in git big. Owt. As in git big as owt. Hadaway. As in hadaway and ****e. A bit niche but my gramdad used to call a trombone a hadaway comeback.
Northern speech and dialect ... it bamboozles the **** out of me at times I feel like a foreigner in my own country
The phrase "you'll get wrong". I never thought of that as odd until someone from the Midlands asked me what on earth I was on about. Maybes - pluralised. I'm not sure which bits of the country do that, but again I've been told I'm talking nonsense for saying it that way.
Never , ever heard anyone from Sunderland say divvent fash yassel, that's more Tyneside. Good Old fashioned Sunderland word is chur, as in, " yer should a seen it chur " Great word but not used much these days, in fact a lot of years ago the old teddy boys were called " chur boys" because they used to say it in nearly every sentence.

I remember watching an England match in a bar with a cockney. Ian wright came on and he said "he's a good player" and I said "aye but he's a right worky ticket" He didn't have a clue what I was on about. I tried to explain but at the time didn't know where the term came from so I just said ya kna someone who works his ticket
I rememeber when there was a fight in the school yard everybody would stand in a circle shouting oy atti baba over and over what the f*ck was that all about, and my ganny used to say i'll gi ya gip when i catch yu.
Check out the lyrics to the Lambton Worm. Victorian (?) pit village lyrics. Another language altogether but still somehow know what's being said.
Remember that phrase well, I grew up with it. People from the Midlands are generally thick fekkers anyway, they absorbe what you say, look dumb and then trudge off to Vllla Park in their clarets and blue. Just the area mate, nowt new.
