StephenFord 866 Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Nesh sure is Nottingham - and so is mardy (which few people in other parts of the country seem to have heard). Another from my mother-in-law, when asked "What's for pudding" her stock reply was/is "A run round the table." Her father looked with disdain on the youth of his day (that is, those of the generation previous to ours!) with the comment, "They'd do owt sooner than wok." Quote Link to post Share on other sites

StephenFord 866 Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 On such occasions, my cousin would say of his mum (my aunt) "She's got a bag on!" - but it was not wise to let her hear him say it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thomas 11 Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 If you catch a weasel asleep, p£ss in it's earhole, thats what my foster father always said to me if he thought I was telling fibs. Anybody heard of that one? I have never heard it used since I was a kid,maybe it was just HIS saying. If I asked how far off some place was, the answer would be: " There and back , thats how far it is milad" I am still confused to this day why I got such stupid answer's, I mean when one got a good slap for being naughty, they always asked you if you would like some more of the same, as though you would say: OH yes please.

Thomas 11 Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 I have heard that my real Dad told my mum to take the clothes pegs out her mouth when she was hanging out the washing,otherwise the kid would be born with a hare-lip. ( My mum was pregnant at the time) Another one was: I hope your underpants are clean, just in case you got knocked down by a bus. I did consider not wearing any, at least I would not have got knocked down by a bus if they were a little soiled lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fynger 841 Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 and if you're gonna 'get a good hiding'.......who's the 'good' bit for ? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 304 Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 Ah now that one I (Roughly) know the origins of. That's to do with the leather industry and the tanning of the hide. At a certain point during the (Awful) process the hide is beaten with a pole to shake off any excess gunge left over from the hides. If it's done well it's called a 'good hiding'. If it's done badly it's 'A hiding to nothing' in that you'll be faced with a situation which is pointless ie to carry on the tanning with a bad hide will be a waste of time. Of course I may be wrong !!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
