I took a short course at the J. Arthur Rank College of Rhyming Slang, so I didn't miss out.

When I started work (in forestry) the company were based in Scarisbrick right out in woolly land & their carrying out they'd call "Baggin", which rather concerned me as the bosses dog was also called Baggin.

I used to think it odd that a girl I knew, from the wilds of Yorkshire, called what we'd say was a funfair, a 'feast'.

Until I realised that fairs would have been held on feast day, in days gone by.

Even if they didn't have waltzers, and dodgem cars.

Quite sweet, it's still in usage.

Good word, though I've never heard it said.

We'd say 'Tastes like dish watter', to mean a similar thing.

You are probably much too young to have heard it said G.

It was used by folk of my grans generation.
Maybe Retlaw will enlighten us....not casting aspersions on Retlaw, trying to say he is as old as my grans generation, but he might have heard it said as he was growing up.

I prefered the company of older relatives as a child, many of whom were born in the nineteenth century, all of whom spoke broad Lanky.

Much more interesting talking to them, than chattering about Andy Pandy with my contemporaries.

Was thinking about something similar yesterday, when researching something else.

A relative I was close to as a child was born in 1885.

All her grandparents, who she used to tell me tales about, were born in Ossy, but who were in reality born Georgians. Their grandparents were born in the 1700's.

Made time scales seem quite small.

Not necessarily :) Could be a lass of such a generous nature that she just wants to give, problem is though with her being so lavish & free with her affections, she may well be giving out more than those who partake of this bounty bargained for. (Now where's that wire brush & Dettol gone ? :D)

As hard as a cobbler's lopstone.

A face as long as Solomon Samson's sow.

Like a mule at a nettle early in spring.

His e'en twinkled like a farthing rushlight.

Quite young and all alive, like an old maid of forty five.

Hoo howds up her yed like a new bowt tit.

Yo 're puttin y'or yed in dog kennel neaw.

On a bed a mon lee, that favvert he're wavin his last drawn o'life.

I like summat at 's deed ov a knife.

Keep yor heart eawt o' yor clogs.

Stroke with one hand, and strike wit'other.

As drunk as blazes.

A mouse only has one 'ole, n is easily tekken in.

A man might as well eat the Devil, as sup the broth he's boiled in.

We're o' someburys childer.

Owder and th' madder.
