Expressions from your part of the world

Wean wee toaty boasie blootered clarted clabber winch haar nebby Scottish words from various parts of the country

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 !

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.

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!
