Local people

Local people

say strange local things, like "get wrong" which is not just a North_East thing, it's pure geordie. So is saying "needs washed" instead of "needs washing" or "needs to be washed" Makems just don't talk like that.

People in Leicester call each other "duck" even blokes, very peculiar.

Any more?

get wrong sounds like it's from the Gurn dictionary

lol, it was Kerry who said it!

saying "wa" instead of "our"

daniel and jeff tell me off for this all the time!

do normal ppl not say "get wrong" too?

normal up here, very localised tho

And so they should if u want 2 get any were in life, u can't speak slang

i speak slang to my mates. if im trying to impress, i dont.

they only tell me off coz they r from chester, they dont speak like me, thats all.

u dont get anywhere in life if u cant spell or string a sentance together that makes sense either

cum back!!!

i havnt gone anywhere

We r on top form arn't we

Were as me on the other hand shall never visit the promise board again after 2 days preformance

what?????

Read it again it does make sense

yeah, now it does!

nearly......

Right thats me off 2 bed, and it does make sense

I'm pretty good at this, cos my ex-girlfriend's from Cheshire, so I was always getting blank looks when I spoke to people down there :spangled:
"Get wrong" is the one I've had the most bother with. Other things people can usually re-arrange and get a logical answer from, but '"Get wrong" is, to be honest, absolute jibberish.
A lot of people I know from the Midlands, places like Leicester, Dudley, etc don't understand a word I say, and find my accent highly amusing, especially when I say stuff like "Howay"!

I think it's a case of the further South you go, the less people are gona understand ya. I think that works the same way though. As was pointed out, people in Leicester call eachother "Duck", which was oh so much fun in my trip to Leicester early last year. Didn't understand a word anybody said!
Mancs say some stupid stuff too, like callin a breadbun a Barm Cake
Although Scottish people call breadbuns rolls, and a slice of bread "a piece". Nutters.

saying "us" instead of "me", like in "get us a pint in" must be canny unique.

"Canny" always confuses.

"fettle" is me personal fave though

What do you mean by fettle? As in someone is in fine fettle, meaning on form/well?

As far as I know it isn't a geordie word, unless you have some strange meaning for it.

yeah that's the one. I thought it was pure geordie. is it not?

Nope. Not geordie at all I'm afraid.
