Unfortunately, due to technical complications (i.e. I screwed up) your original heading has been lost, which included an explanation of what you were talking about. If you can repeat your original heading here, I'll re-insert it back into your opening post. It was: My mother would often say (in dialect), “If you want summat doing, do it yoursen.” Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Newarker 22 Posted March 2, 2022 Report Share Posted March 2, 2022 Some folk have mentioned mon't meaning must not but is it usual in Nottingham to say wain't for will not, or was that a Newark thing? l don't think l have heard anybody say wappy for many years, meaning eleven pence to the shilling or not quite all there. My Mum used to describe some people as not having much of a come-from. l think this just meant the family was poor but l was never entirely sure whether it meant there was some illegitimacy involved. l have never heard anybody except my Grandma say they didn't own to somebody, so if she didn't recognise somebody you were describing she would say she didn't own to him or her.

nonnaB 4,895 Posted July 16, 2022 Report Share Posted July 16, 2022 My parents grew up in Lancashire and Cumberland. They never lost their accents. I lost mine fairly quickly as I was only 5 and my brother 2. My brother picked up Nottinghamese but I didnt, although my next door neighbour in R.O.T used to say that her husband knew when she'd been talking to me because although she was from Lichfield she had picked up certain words and expressions. Its so easy to pick up expressions. I have picked up loads in Italian that dont make sense in English or sound silly. Also some words come out automatically in certain situations.

katyjay 5,091 Posted March 2, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2023 It rained yesterday afternoon, lightly at first, but then so heavy, the noise of it was louder than the telly. I said to hubby, it's tazzing down. Obviously you can take the girl out of Nottingham but not Nottingham out of the girl! I surprise myself sometimes with my old sayings. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,465 Posted March 2, 2023 Report Share Posted March 2, 2023 I don't think I remember hearing that phrase for rain, but in school days I had a friend whose surname was Tyler, and he was always known as Taz. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
