Dialect differences

Been mentioned once before how words can mean different things in different parts of the countries. I came across another one the other day................a bairn down here is called a Babba!!</p>

</p>

Any others????</p>

 

Daps ....

... apparently are pumps or trainers down here - I'd never heard of it before

 

Breadcakes

Fcking weird in Derbyshire - 'Cobs' apparently.</p>

Don't call anyone '****' round here either unless you fancy a brawl.</p>

 

Like a babbi then?

 

Do you mean teacakes? nt

 

Don't start

Teacakes don't exist.

 

RE: Don't start

i've always known them as teacakes and always will.

 

Barm cakes!

Stupid Lancastrians!

 

RE: Don't start

Nobody's heard of them round here. Breadcakes have fruit in them.</p>

One of my grans called them teacakes (Hemingfielder) the other called them breadcakes ( Hoylander ) - so if spitting distance led to 2 diffrent words we're bolloxed</p>

 

Moggies

In some place nr Donny moggies are mice.

so how does that happen then?

 

teacakes are those chocolate things with whippy filling

made by Tunnock's they were on that Lenny Henry thing the other day

 

BABBA = pooh where i come from nt

 

Boo'its .....

....... sho'ies and co'its.

 

RE: Breadcakes

I used to work in Chesterfield and had that argument quite a lot.

Baps, I've always known 'em as (breadcakes and breasts)...

 

Bonny

In Dee-dar land it means chubby. Made the mistake of calling a colleague's daughter a bonny lass and he took exception to me calling her a chubby kid.

 

Lunchtime /dinner time

we had dinner ladies at our school</p>

 

RE: Moggies
