sketchleyman 0 Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 I do remember a game in the early '70's Forest v QPR Stan Bowles' wife had left him and the Forest mob struck up a chorus (to the tune of Oh My Darling Clementine) Where's your wife gone, where's your wife gone, where's your wife gone Stanley Bowles ?? Stan turned to the crowd, shrugged his shoulders and shook his head !! Bought the house down, and he got a good round of applause. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Trevor S 2,003 Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Found this on the Tears of a Clown site and thought it would be of interest. There are some interpretations that are hilarious, some I have not heard of and I seem to remember that 'let's have a guzgog' was 'let's have a look?' A Guide to Nottingham English For those not necessarily of a Nottingham persuasion, here’s a fail-safe guide to survival to help you through a stay in the Lace City. It’s not comprehensive or fool-proof and please note that important tasks such as ordering a pint etc. can be performed quite adequately by pointing, talking loudly and s-l-o-w-l-y. With help from local language expert John Beeton, here’s a selection of Nottinghamshire sayings and phrases that may help when visiting the city: Prattinn abaht. Acting stupidly. Ee-addizzedd dahn the bog. He had been sick. Bogga that furr gaima soajiz. I shall not continue with this course of action. korl yersenn a faiter? I do not share your confidence in your abilities as a pugilist. Eez tookizz battomm.He is sulking. Annair doo. A hairstyle. Gerrupp them stairs. It is time for bed. Ee doant gerronn wee nobbdi. He is unsociable. Nehmind ay. Don’t let it concern you. Batt yersenn dahn. Dust yourself off. Av podged missenn. I have had sufficient to eat. Wairvyerbinn till nah? Did you get lost? Yo-a prattannarf yo-are. You are a fool. Faktreh. Industrial workplace. Eezabitt finnikeh. He is rather choosy about his food. Up the spaht. Pregnant. Wottyo prattin abaht wee? What are you doing? Yent, aya? I don’t believe you have done that. Gerrineer. Please come in. Adunno worritts all abaht. It is a complete mystery to me. Oajer noise. Please be quiet. Ahtahse. Garden shed. Av ott missen. I am in considerable pain. yor gerrin woas yo ahr – your getting worse you are Skehf = dandruff twitchel, or jitty (more common in Eastwood in my time than ‘jennel’) tundish = funnel Eastwood: Brown Town Cotch:To Sit Down and Relax Mardy = somewhat disagreeable im gerrin ona bus ngooin dahn tahn-I’m going to take the bus to the town centre giz a guzgog could i have a gooseberry GERRONTKAWSIE – WALK ON THE PAVEMENT bobbo – horse Enny rowd up: Which ever way you look at it. Causie – pavement, Entry or ginnal – pathway, mucker – friend, smigin – small amount, wagon – lorry Awerre! – I believe your are lying to me Chatty: In a mess Cummoninnoutonnit! = take heed of the inclement weather children ! eesraytstuckup He is a little reserved/not friendly. yadenni tea-ye? Have you eaten dinner yet? oowarraweethen? – Who was I with then?

Much appreciated Stu...Tears of a Clown has provided some valuable finds and you have a great site that I still haven't fully explored. The more I delve into the family background and the Nottingham of old, the more I am amazed at the countless sites provided by others on my old town. Cheers mate.

mick2me 3,033 Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 local author John Beeton's excellent examples of 'Nottingham - how she is spoke' There were some Beetons at Dunkirk. I went out with one of the daughters in 1969. If I remember right some of the Beetons found some buried coins or Gold (treasure trove) about that time? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 23 Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Ta for the kind words Trevor (and Mick), it's appreciated. Agree that there are some excellent Nottingham bloggers out there and I'll repost this link to just some of them I found when doing a bit of research. As is the way with these things, some will now be neglected and there will also be new ones that have come along. Nottingham’s Bloggers Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rhymester 25 Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 My mother in law is confusing my little one with her use of the word, 'again' pronounced 'ug-en' by which she doesn't mean repeated but next to. Where's the didger? It's again the telly! Funny thing is that it's only as I type the word that I realise it must be a contraction of against. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
