Now then my dear friend, today i caught my children skipping school, i heard one of my children shout ' it's my turn now' So i took a wander and i witnessed them playing down the alley behind our house, with one on the back of the other, they were having fun until the rain started to heavily pour and they were quite cold at this point. I shouted at one of my children who unfortunately started crying, he must of thought i was going to hit him, in reality i should of grabbed them by their ears and marched them in the house, my daughter exclaimed ' don't tell my mother please' anyhow, i am going to enjoy a fish cake and a bread cake with american chip spice, do you want anything bringing?
a patty is potato and sage... not much fish in it heh. and a clip round the ear is a slap on the back of the head.. are you sure that you're from Ull?
I've started intentionally using Hull words at work just to get my way, if they can't understand me they'd rather just agree than ask for an explanation.
I've never lived outside of Leicestershire, but I understood that. Maybe because I was born into an east yuuurkshuure family, on buuurth saaardes... Although I thought 'baines' was 'burns'(sp?).
It is, not necessarily on the back but usually, could be sat on the handlebars, seat, or stood in the stunt pegs or rear frame.
It's definitely baines in Hull, it was the extended "a" that used to grate with me. Round the central belt of Scotland it's more bairns (hence Falkirk's nickname) which is a lot nearer to burns, although I don't know how that helps with anything. btw, did you just question mark the spelling of a phonetic spelling?
Nah, my recollection is that "croggy" is the 'Ull derivative of "a lift on the cross-bar"...summat you couldn't do on a lasses bike !
Quality - I love twagging and larking - very hull. My mind has gone blank but we had a special name for what the rest of the uk called 'wembley' - was it cuppies or have I got that wrong?? Also 'I aren't' is my favourite hullism - I still say I aren't over here and get the piss taken out of me for doing so..
Naaa a croggy is a ride on the crossbar hence the cro in croggy meaning crossbar that's from Preston East Hull village (not posh) and whats all this about fish cakes you posh sods .... Patty & chips was posh nosh when I was a sprog.
Loved the oroginal script reminds me of my childhood. I think the one word missing that should have made the original post is shurrup. Every time i use that word away from the city people always ask what i have said. I tell them the need to learn to talk proper like i do. plus isnt there a small booklet with Hull speak sround somewhere, i seem to remember reading about it online somewhere, although it was quite a while ago.
