Words sayings you don't hear too often
« on October 31, 2013, 02:18:22 pm by redbrez »
Start it off with togger
, anyone got any other old words sayings that you don't hear very often, (Yorkshire slang)when I hear a old saying it always puts a grin on mi face .
Some words I take for granted has being understandable in different areas but when on holiday I had to explain the word mardy , didn't think it was a Yorkshire slang word ..?

Underwear is kecks, not kegs.

To stay on a beer theme though, the phrase 'pulling a pint' has died out as pumps have become electric...

I'd say kegs and kecks were pretty much interchangeable and equally used for underwear or trousers depending on context - one may be more west yorkshire, but not sure where the dividing line is

You're obviously drinking in the wrong pubs - more hand pulled beer available now than in the last 30 years

See also legging it , laking it, skiving.


Cogging is riding behind the peddler, a croggy, is a ride on the crossbar.

I thought that was known as a crossy, as in "give us a crossy"





... Someone must have shouted that at Brentford as, thankfully, Marcello Trota took it too literal :thumbsup:
