Re: Old local expressions

ged agate.....meaning get going...or get doing.

Jaysay...I think the word is tuttle......and I could be wrong but I think it is derived from an indian dialect word tutti which I think means 'dung'...or a less polite word for dung.
Like women would say....I just need to put a bit of 'tutti' on....meaning make up.
