Gabrielle56, saw 'a pearler' on your post. Interestingly, my MIL (broad Bristolian) used to say someone 'went a pearler' meaning they fell over. She also used 'dap' as a verb:
'I'm just dapping down the shop'- to run or hurry
'She was dapping a ball'- bouncing it.

My father was a man for a bit of Cockney rhyming slang, and referred to socks as Plymouth Rocks. Imagine my excitement in New England, to stand by the Plymouth Rock, allegedly the first place the new settlers landed in the 1600's.

In the expression ‘daft h’ap’orth’ mentioned several times on this thread, the second word is a contraction of ‘halfpennyworth’, meaning something of very little value.

Born in Bristol… we also called them

We took them to school in a ‘dap bag’ to hang on our peg… ?

Grew up in Newcastle, Staffs:-
Bap - large bread roll.
Dip - hot bacon fat from frying pan delicious with oat cakes. Yummy Sunday breakfast.
Piece - chunk or slice of bread.
Yammering - eg stop your yammering!(several people all talking at the same time).
Snappin - packed lunch. Dad always had his in a metal, hinged lid, tin. I thought for ages it referred to the tin.
Moved to near Shrewsbury:-
Sniven - mass of small creatures wriggling and moving about together.
Truffin- guttering on house.
Upper wommers - heard this lots and I think it’s folk who live remotely/ up in the hills. It could mean something different!

I come from Suffolk originally (everyone when I worked in London thought I came from Australia !) ...so many Suffolk expressions .....then moved to London, then Essex, Cambridge,, Mansfield, Spain, France and am now living in the North East...and trying to learn Geordie ! Some people take offence at being called Pet, Duck, Luv, Darlin', Sweetheart, etc but not me ...love the hear all of them ! Of all I think Geordie, in the UK (and some Liverpool sayings where my dad came from) are the hardest !

Also when moving from Birmingham to Shropshire, I had to remember NOT to say "pumps" if I meant "daps" ...

Wow, I'd forgotten all about Kaylie. Happy memories of the sweetshop on the way home from junior school. Used to have a liquorice straw that never worked. I think that was my favourite part.

Also "spaceships" filled with sherbet -- they still exist here in France, probably in the UK too, we used to have competitions to see who could make one last the longest.

Happy (pre-diabetic!) days, eh?

Many years ago, BlueSapphire, I lived, briefly, as a student in Cardiff. I wore plimsolls all the time. If we were going into a pub, I'd be told, urgently, "Liz man! Hide your daps!" For some reason pubs didn't approve of them!

I am from Wiltshire and the only one I can think of is 'daps' for plimsolls. My DF used to say 'chizzle' for cheese.

DH was from Lancashire and used Kaylied a lot; I'd never heard it before. Other Lancashire expressions his DPs used were buffet (stool), refuge (refuse), and while (for 'until'.) Wait while your dad comes home.....

‘Champion’ was used in Yorkshire as well.

I grew up in Wirral. “Let down’ was used to mean ‘dilute’. I’ve never come across that anywhere else.

lovebeigecardigans1955 could 'a-were' be the same as the Geordie 'hadaway/haway mn' or 'get away'/'get away with yer bother' my dad (North West) used to say to express disbelief?

My father was born in London and brought up in Birmingham. Whoever anything, or anybody, was good he always said ‘champion’. I don’t know if that was London or Brum.
