I love the English language. I cherish its beauty, depth and variety. I think I’m quite adept at using it too.
But fuck me. I’m getting more and more phrases in messages from gorgeous peeps around the country that I’ve never heard before. Eg
I’m goosed. Wtf?
I’m no dithering about it. Excuse me?
Got any more? |

If you "doot" something hereabouts, sounds/looks a lot like doubt, but really means the opposite.

but if you google it apparently it now means to prod someone between the buttocks to startle them "

"Dithering is mithering around here. Pronounced Mythering. "
Interesting how dithering was used by my parents was a bit like a cross between vacillating and procrastinating because you’re nervous and anxious.
‘Stop dithering around and get on with it.’ my mum would say when she’d asked me to go next door and see if we could borrow some milk.
On the other hand ‘Stop mithering me’ was what my mum would say when she wanted me to stop asking her incessantly for something or continually trying to get her attention

I think goosed is rhyming slang - goosed and ducked - fucked.
Gan yam/yem - north eastern pronunciation of going home. Interestingly it might be from Scandinavian influence as Danish (and others are close) for going home is the same.
I knew a swede and a Norwegian couple who lived in the NE and then in Scotland and they said it was easy to understand and be understood despite not having, initially, the greatest grasp of English. |

I am aware of both usages, the "to goose" someone is a little dated now.
I certainly come across it as meaning tired more frequently. |
