"I like the Welsh "now, in a minute" which could mean the next 60 seconds or four hours time.
"When's dinner ready?"
"Now, in a minute""
We also have 'Bad in bed, under the doctor' which is not what you might think it is |

When I met Jon Bernthal (The Punisher) the other week he was doing a Q&A session when a women in a wheelchair asked him if she could have a cwtch, he didn't know what it meant but as soon as someone told him he dropped his mic, jumped down off stage and gave her a big hug, it made her day! |

A good swinging mate of mine says alright cock everytime she catches up with me
I know it’s a term of endearment but still confuses me as in London that would be offensive |

Ha yes my pussycat loves a bit of smoothing.

Scran = food
Kecks = trousers
Gegging in = being nosey or joining in when you're not wanted
Bevy = alcoholic drink
Heavy salad = really bad news
If you've got a cob on that means you're annoyed or sulking so I was very confused living in Leicester where a cob is a bread roll. Unless pissed off Scouse people just put bread rolls on their heads . |

Where I work in Wessieland (west Yorkshire) it's all "arr mam", "arr lad", "arr Kat" etc when referring to anyone.
When they're going for lunch it's "just off fer us snap"
"Just off for't shit owld cock"

"In Northern Ireland we call ice cream Cones "pokes" for some reason.
So being asked if you fancy a poke isn't a exciting as it sounds lol"
And you have to finish it with ‘so I did’ so if you had an ice cream cone you’d say ‘I just had a poke so I did’ which sounds just the way fab should make it sound |

Was sitting in a meeting waiting for it to start, chatting about plans for the weekend, including for food. The rather attractive Southern woman taking minutes loudly announced 'I love a nice piece of meat at the weekend'. The Northern Chairman coughed and said 'where I come from, that has a different meaning'.
True story. |
