BaaLocks reacted to Ewe Ram in Speaking Derbonian
We always used to say ‘Bolched’, in fact I’ve said it recently.
my mum used to say ‘he’s a right megrum’, when someone was ugly.
your face was your ‘clock’
‘I could eat a scabby hoss’ when you’re hungry.
If you’ve burnt something, you’ve ‘bont it’

I was working with someone from France the other day and ended up explaining to them what the word 'nesh' means (double strange this one, as I never heard it when I lived in Derby but it came into use after I left). I know we have 'mi duc' and the like but wondered what other words we have in Derby that are specific to at least the East Midlands.
Some that come to mind:
Mardy Bolched (getting your hair cut really short and being told 'blimey, you've been bolched') Nongy (only the Welsh, who call it a dunkie, have a better name for it) Boca (probably generational but anyone who looked a tramp, in honour of Mr Wright) Ote and note Jitty Tea (the evening meal) -

"Boltched/Bolched" is right there, at the very back of the rear shelf of my memory bank. Must be 50 years since I heard/said that! Never would have come up with that without your reminder. 👍
Boca and Nongy were very common during my schooldays. (born Jan '63, left school '79).
Jitty is still the only word I use to describe a... erm... well... jitty! Obvs!
Dinner at lunchtime
Tea at tea time!
Afternoon tea is for the well-to-do. Never been able to afford supper!
Others not mentioned... not sure how exclusive to Derby they are...
Duds (sweets)
Chungy (Chewing gum)
Treetards (Supporters of Nottingham Forest FC)! 🤣
Was in T'Barnsleh only this morning... ordered a bacon cob out of habit. Well, you can imagine the conversation that followed! Ended up with bacon on a "tea-cake"... When I asked where the currants were... well, you can imagine the conversation that followed! 🤣

They put "people" instead of "terrorists trying to take our jobs and our benefits simultaneously"?

It really is disturbing and it shows who we, or the media, care about.

It's terrible for all concerned but when people are spending £250k to go look (possibly, its not guaranteed) at a ship wreck on the ocean floor while nurses are using food banks it tells us just how crazy the world has become.

Or, if you want another example, five millionaires get in trouble at sea and we mobilize search efforts from around the world and it is the lead item on all news channels. Seven hundred migrants in a boat get into in trouble off the Greek coast and they are ignored for two days before the boat eventually sinks.

BaaLocks got a reaction from I know nothing in The Official DCFC Fans Brown Sauce Poll
HP Sauce was originally called Gartons based on the person who made the sauce for the Houses of Parliament cafeteria after coming back from India (it has a lot of tamarind in it). It was called Snotrag for years, you'll work it out after a while.
Actually, I don't mind either - what I hate with a passion is 'other' variants, particualrly those from boutique garden centres or artisan food markets. Our local golf club uses one that tastes like pot pourri mixed with burnt gravy.
But, as this is an HP vote, I will take the same line as our glorious Prime Minister and I will abstain.

Sorry @Rev, should have read the thread - I had exactly the same thought this morning, as you can see.

Inevitable when blokes get trapped together in a small confined space for a prolonged length of time
Too soon?

The western world rushes to provide aid to a few billionaires on a jolly, yet seems nonplussed when 500+ migrants are locked in a hold a few miles south of Greece.
