firbeck 859 Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Great, these threads keep appearing that I've not seen before. Somebody mentioned that south Yorkshire and Notts dialects get mixed up, my ex father in law, who came from the Yorkie side of Worksop always refered to people as serri, I didn't hear that again until a had pal from Mansfield who used it all the time, then my nephew from Eastwood used to say it a lot, they were the only people I knew that used the word. Beefy mentioned Marra, I thought that was a Geordie expression. When I was a kid and on holiday Daan Saaf, I thought everyone spoke the same and went in a shop and asked for a sucka, they thought I was mad, I thought the same about them, I had to look on the list on the side of the fridge and give it's bloody trade name. One thing that puzzles me is why I still refer to chip shops as 'chipoils', is this a Nottingham thing or, having Lancashire connections, an expression I got from up there, anyone know. I once read that following the Norman invasion, the English language got into a regional mess of Anglo Saxon French and that a particular area, the East Midlands, probably because of the power of the Nottingham Castle barons, was selected as the basis for the English language as we know it. Whether this is true or not, I don't know, the kids down here though seem to understand when I tell them to Bogger Off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Limey 242 Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 It is my understanding that "marra" was Geordie (at least, thats where I heard it). I think there are variations on "serri" - In Ilkeston I remember them saying "sorri", but I have also heard "surri" however, none of those were prevalant in Long Eaton! It amazes me that a few miles in any direction produced a markedly different accent! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
plantfit 7,597 Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Ayup all, A mate of mine uses the term "Marra" all the time, the same way as I use the term "Meduck" and he's only form Loughborough Rog Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Limey 242 Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 When I first came to the States I worked for BPB Instruments. We used to get a lot of laughs from the locals trying to pronounce the company's home address: East Leake, Nr. Loughborough, Leicestershire Surprisingly, it was the Leicestershire that gave the most trouble! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 A mate of mine reckons he was once asked for directions to Looga Berooga (Loughborough).Den. That was a p**s takey advert for something on Radio Trent cirrca 1989. It was taking the mick out of Australians asking for dirrections. Tha expression 'Marra' seems to be used (From what I read here) around colliery towns , and as a lot of Geordies came south to work the coalfields, it probably rubbed off into the local dialect Quote Link to post Share on other sites
