North/Midlands vs South slang/words..

skunkwerx

Seen some similar videos on youtube where a southerner and a northerner compare slang, or different words for the same things.

Figured I’d do the same with a friend whos ‘not from around these parts’ for a bit of fun. By not from around here I mean she comes from South Yorkshire, and I’m here in Londons east ends, but we both work in Essex. 

After she called a ‘roll’ a ‘breadcake’, which was amusing, I figured theres gotta be loads of things like that out there, or regional slang words we could discuss and compare. 

Now I’m here trying to think of em all!

Im originally from Hull and a lot of these are very local words in everyday use.  Breadcake was also in general use.  Let me help you out with some translation 

Bains  -  young children

Tenfoot  - the alleyway being or between houses

Croggy -  giving a friend a lift on your bike

Twagging -   ducking out of school or work without a good reason

Larkin - playing 

Mafted   -  very warm and humid

I was very confused when I moved up north and a street on an incline stopped being a hill and became a bank. The alleyway / footpath running between the houses suddenly became a ginnel

its a bonk round these parts , some times you see one or two unkempt shire horses tethered on a grassy bonk , they are bonk osses, it is also an expression to describe ladies of a certain size / appearance/ moral standard especially if they are from brierley hill ...  hence  brierley hill bonk Osses , for when one eye starts to close after 12 pints of bathams ....
