Re: Old local expressions

We've already had pow fagged, meaning very tired, but we also got our hair pow'd, meaning cut very short.

To rhyme with pow'd, there's cow'd - cold.

'Back of his neck felt reet cow'd now, after barber had pow'd him.'

Shut yer cake 'ole - Please cease speaking.

Flit - Move house.

Jiggered - Very tired.

Nouse - Common sense.

Kecks - trousers.
