What are you picking on for, just because none of you lot can talk proper don't blame me. There is more than one sort of dialect, depends on where you live. After all thad am powfagged, as weel as thad a went aeut un geet witchered. Retlaw. |
Re: Come again ? or what does that mean !
Retlaw is right about the dialects.......in some part of lancashire a Moggy is a cat....in others it is a mouse.
Now the last sentence of Retlaws says he is tired/bothered and as well as that he went out and got himself cold(although some folks use witchered to mean cold and wet). |

Re: Come again ? or what does that mean !
yes Retlaw......witchered is derived from 'Wet shod'.......I like Lancashire dialect......my grandad spoke it well. In fact many people at the end of his life could not understand him at all.
it is sad that it is a dying dialect. |

Re: Come again ? or what does that mean !
Thanks all for the various takes on the regional differences, I can grasp most of it but occasionally a word or two is a tad bothersome & I can't work it out from the context, hence the suggestion of the "Accy Lexis Lingo" :)
If I hadn't had the translations :- Powfagged :eek: Witchered :confused: sound rather alarming to us knowlessmen :D Just looked again Brasted ? |
Re: Come again ? or what does that mean !
'Brasted'....broken/burst/busted.
