    I can kind of see that. We'd have used scivin, but I can see why laikin would be used for skipping work.

    I think Laikin is Scandinavian in origin. We have some Swedish friends and they understood it when I said it.

    A lot of yorkshire dialect is Scandinavian in origin - came over with the 10th century tourists.

    I'm currently working with a lot of Swedish/Danish speakers and I did mention the word laikin and there was a similar word in one of the languages. They could see where it came from.

    My gran used to say "orming" for writhing about on the floor. Never gave it much thought till 2005 on BBC the coast programme, showed the great orme island off Wales. Neil Oliver proclaiming orme was the Viking word for worm. Of course we had three ridings in Yorkshire. Ridding being the Viking word for a third.

    Southerner; If you Yorkshire folk say "oil" for "hole" what do you say for "oil"?
    Yorkshireman; "greeass".

    Aye it is, assuming that is he meant to spell it as gansey. The pattern of a gansey varies from fishing port to fishing port, the idea being that if one of the crew was lost at sea and the body was later recovered you could use the pattern on the gansey to identify where the body had sailed from for repatriation. They're hellish difficult to knit apparently so r lass is loath to knit me a Scarborough gansey. If she did, I probably wouldn't wear it out at sea, just in case my body got sent to Scarborough instead of Barnsley!

    Someone in Flamborough used to knit and sell them; I'm not sure if they still do though. £300 + a few years back, hours of work involved though.
    Edit.
    They're still doing them; Flamborough Marine.

    I thought that was a Geordie word for any sort of jumper. I never heard it used round Bolton on Dearne except by my dad's parents who were from Sunderland.
