Re: Old local expressions
Anyone else used to say coaten or baulk to describe when someone was gipping (making throwing up noises etc)?

My wife uses coaten. She's from the North East. She never talks about farting or ****ting. She thinks that's a Lancastrian trait

Yes, we use coaten too.

Our Granny used to coaten, every time she saw our tortoise.

It's still a popular saying. I tell the dentist that he is making me coaten when he tries to put the shield in my mouth to take an x ray.

Re: Old local expressions
Yep, it's one we used to say too -haven't heard it in ages though. When something made you feel like you wanted to be sick. There was a horrible smell on Frederick st. Ossy quite often from the mill -used to make you feel like that -don't know what it was but we all used to say it smelt like boiled oranges!

Another one for retch is jip.

Anyone else use that?

It's also used for discomfort.

'My leg's givin' me jip again.'

Although it's apparently 'gyp', not jip.

My dad used to use this one to talk about pain.
Some sources say it meant to scold or punish someone or cause them pain.
Fascinating!!

Unsourced, but it's listed on here, as 'gip', as a verb, meaning to vomit.

A dictionary of slang - "G" - Slang and colloquialisms of the UK.

Also ' gyp' - Noun. Hassle, bother. E.g."My leg's been giving me gyp since I got kicked during the game." Cf. 'jip'. [Informal]



gip (dʒɪp) — vBulletin , gips , gipping , gipped 1. a variant spelling of gyp 2. informal ( Northern English ) to vomit or feel like vomiting.

I barf and gag.
Barfs are noisy, gags are silent.
