Thanks to those who have taken part so far in today‘s #ayupyorkshire challenge.
As today is Yorkshire Day, here‘s some words and phrases to learn so that everything that comes out of your gob is bobby-dazzlin‘ Yorksher...🤣
The one that isn‘t on here is EE BAH GUM, which kind of means ‘oh my god‘ and was used in the ‘olden days‘ by people who didn‘t want to swear or blaspheme....
Also ‘mardy‘ (see day 3 of the challenge) means moody... 😠
Oryx Mardy is a word I learnt when I moved to Manchester - most be some overlap. 5y
Megabooks Love it! Thanks! 5y
squirrelbrain Yes @Oryx I think mardy, and some other words, are more generally Northern, not just Yorkshire. Ay up duck apparently is Derbyshire! 5y
