Living up Norf I am learning new 'words' and phrases every day. For example -

Crog - This is basically the same as giving someone a backy on your bike
Ginnell - Used to describe an alleyway or small passage in the street
On't turn - A derogatory term used to describe someone (usually a woman) who is half decent, but in a year or 2 will be ugly
Bun - It's a fucking cake!
Yer sen - Used by council estate tenants. Means 'Yourself'
Scratter - Everyone up North

That's been around for ages. Means the same as "safe" i.e. anything good, well anything not bad really.

Dont spoil the dream. I've always imagined you sounding like Peter from Heidi.

Actually just thinking about you calling an under takers on behalf of Binki and I'm on the verge of wetting myself.

I haven't heard anybody say 'Bostin' for ages, and in the space of a week I must have heard it said about 100 times. Very odd.
