Eddie Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 My early childhood was spent in various military establishments around the world - and so I picked up a mish-mash of accents, and to misquote the late, great Lemmy Kilmister, everything broader than everything else. Then, for a while, I found myself in Little Eaton, Chesterfield, Ambergate etc for reasons I cannot divulge. My Grandad, hearing me utter some colloquialism he was perhaps unfamiliar with, came out with "Dust cum f'Hobrook, surry?" - now that's talking proper like worrah do.

Chester40 Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Chungy and jitty are the ones that are very specific to Derby for me. When I moved away some phrases sounded very Derby... getting on the 'bus'....(really over pronounced U) and you coming to 'ah aase' (our house). I still cringe in Cheshire asking for a sc-cone (not sc-gone) as it sounds ridiculously posh but is the common way to say it in Derby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As in "I got tret really bad at school today". If I did, I don't do that now. We do that now! eg: "C'mon love, let's go out, and I'll tret yer ter lunch"! Started off as a piss take, along with "That'll learn 'em", but it seems to have become a habit we can't now shake off! Pretty sure we only use it with each other though... I hope so, as others will think we're proper thickos! 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gee SCREAMER !! Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 On 23/06/2023 at 12:00, BaaLocks said: 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) Never heard this before. Weirdly heard it for the first time today from my grandma about her great grandson. She came to Derby in about 53 from Ireland. She first heard it in Derby in the 60's relating to Skinhead before that was a term BaaLocks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
