Generally East Midlands I would say. Certainly used a lot in Loughborough when I lived near there. To be used when someone from Manchester would say "chuck" probably, although more flexible because you can add "mi" (me) in there:I'd love to know where it started from, such an odd saying!
When we first come up here, and after years of no one talking to each other on the trains I used to travel to work on, the concept of strangers engaging in conversation was mind blowing and everyone called me "duck" !!
We still have the cob/roll debate in the office though, interspersed between endless talk of the football and how to pronounce words like gRass etc...![]()
Hello chuck
Hello mi duck
Obviously the "u" is to be pronounced not as in "up" but maybe a bit more like double o (sort of). You can't really spell in accents!
