Re: Old local expressions
My Auntie used to use caughtning (no idea how to spell it) to mean a baby that was about to be sick, she is from Accrington.
May Dad often used the phrase a 'Jockey for a pig dealer' - meaning someone was bow legged and Ganzey to describe a jumper or cardigan - my Dad was born in Southport....
