do one, ya plum.

Though speaking of slang, discovered a word in my vocabulary which appears to have never made it out of North Bedfordshire - "skanked" meaning to intentionally ditch someone. Nobody in my mates who didn't grow up in Bedford in the 90s/early 2000s has ever heard it.

Post obscure very specific regional slang itt.

Skanked was a word we used around here growing up, but it was used to describe when someone stole something.

"I skanked this pen of that nob in science"

In primary school pimps meant easy. That's pimps that la. Proper pimps.

Not sure if that was entirely localised to my primary though.

Skanked meant you gyped someone out of something.

I think mardy is regional which is insane. It's a great word.

Cake, is it a drug, or is it simply a delicious chocolatey piece of heaven?
Good deed for the day done, found a stray dog and got him back to his owner. Celebrating with a coffee and a burning desire for more sleepy dog cuddles.

Content: In Durham a dandelion was a pittle-le-bed, I liked to shuggy (swing) on tree branches, though it also got used in a similar way to 'shuggle' (to shake something relatively gently, such as sausages in a frying pan.) but I think that gets used in lots of places.


Fingerless Gloves, you aren't the only one - pimps was a thing at my school too, figured it was only us though given I've never heard it anywhere else.

Haha! It does get a bit dense from the Romany origins of a lot of it mixed in with the Scots and NE stuff.

Translation for those not cursed with growing up there:

"Well I do declare, your girlfriend over there is great/amazing/gorgeous/beautiful, my friend [barakoosh for emphasis - I don't think anyone ever knows what it really means]. Don't be a crazy man and grass on that woman [reasons unexplained in my poor narrative as to what she's guilty of] or I'll be really embarrassed, you idiot. Let's spend some serious money (£20 and 50p) on alcohol and get drunk then see if you can gently caress her, [goozle is sort of a friendly "mate" thing suggesting they're a bit mental - CH is just another emphasis that Berwickers will add to the end of any sentence like a full stop]. Then we'll go for a very fast drive down a particularly treacherous stretch of the Berwick bypass where many have died doing the same. I'm going to put on my new shoes for you to look upon favourably with your eyes."

Can't believe I didn't slip a shan/sharn in there! That was shan of me :(

My mum just sent me a message panicking about her guarantor application for my new flat, they apparently want a copy of her payslip.

Turns out she lied about her income because she was worried she didn't earn enough to be viable.

How hosed does this make me or does it not count for much?

Also the best falafel I've had is either in the Kasbah in Liverpool or at a street vendor in Shoreditch. But I have not eaten enough falafel to give a real opinion.
