Re: lost dialect
I remember mum talking about donkey stones (had to eventually tell my sister that you threw them at donkeys as she didn't understand why they're called it)
Another one, t'asda, as in goin' t'asda
or keckle, or tettle.
Never heard of stairs being called dancers, wooden hill was my mum's name for them, but more often just stairs, ge' up dem sturrs.... jus' goin' up t'wooden 'ill
Lived here all my life, and I get laughed at at college when I talk about 'hurr' and 'thurr' and 'stickin keckle on forra brew' and I tell the others to stick their non-accringtonian accets where the 'sun don shine'.
Plus, book is like buck, same with look, luck, and cook, cuck.
