broxtowelad 175 Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 Is the word Slormy still being used ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,594 Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 My parents never used the word 'slormy' but I would use it for an unpleasant bloke who was a bit of a creep - someone who was always 'trying to get round you' if you know what I mean! Is that the meaning you know? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deepdene Boy 642 Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 My parents used the word slormy to describe something that was generally unkempt or untidy, perhaps even slovenly. Dad used it also when we were out shopping and we were dawdling along he would say " Stop slormin' abaht!" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

StephenFord 866 Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Re #1910 - yes, that was my understanding of "slorming" too - as in "there they were slorming all over each other." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
broxtowelad 175 Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 #1909 and #1912. They were the two meanings of the word that our family meant. #1908. We would have called that type of bloke "smarmy". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
