Hiya, after reading Mattcass post when he talked about his cheese pieces.

That is a cheese sand which in England. It got me thinking about different regional words and wondered what you use that are different.

I when I moved to England I went to a butchers and asked for gammon. Gammon in Scotland is cooked ham. The butcher obviously gave me a gammon joint confusing me as I wanted cooked ham, gammon to me lol.

When I met my mother in law she called me canny. I was so upset as in Scotland it means mean with money but here is the north east it is nice or sweet!!

Any stories?

[allanah in reply to mattcass]

I know that one! It's a slap' but skelf is a piece of wood in your finger

[mattcass in reply to allanah]

Well done, When we did something wrong Ma Mother used to say come here till I skelp you and you did it, If she had to come to you it was worse for you. Matt

In Yorkshire they call that (splinter) a spell, it is a Viking word.

[allanah in reply to Dogrose]

Really?

[lorann in reply to justlizz]

justlizz, we here in states have reduced that to just "frowning" Have not heard the term "pulling a frown"

[lorann]

Is that what we call a "popsicle" here? Frozen fruit juice on a stick?

[allanah in reply to lorann]

Rrobably!

[lorann]

HAHAHA! If you guys talk like that on here all the time, I will never understand you !

[allanah in reply to lorann]

And right back at you ! Wicked means very rather than good, bangs are a fringe ?!'

[lorann in reply to allanah]

What Wicked means very..oh wait, yeah, that is our teen slang, saying the opposite of something, like "That's bad" Is really outstandingly great!

Bands are hair that is cut straight across the forehead. You call them "fringe"? Yours makes more sense

What do I say that sounds odd?

[allanah]
