A durg is an animal that barks, ferns is a cool dude from happy days and to flirt is to have good buoyancy in water. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 30727 Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Me granny (from Burradon) used to say “chebble” for table a lot of that generation from the village had more of a Northumberland than Geordie accent.

He was from Hazelrigg but lived for most of his life in Burradon. He was a miner but not at Burradon or Weetslade but Seaton Burn. My mam actually still refers to the rabbit dottles on her front lawn My granny had lovely roses but she put tea leaves from used tea bags on them as well as egg shells. I don’t remember rabbit or sheep shit though Netty was in common usage. We actually used kets at school. Bullets too to mean sweets. My partner’s mam and dad are from up that way - North Seaton / Newbiggin by the Sea. Their accents have mellowed but he still uses stuff like ‘oxter’ to mean armpit. Her mam’s older brother who died a few years back lived in Newbiggin all his life and rolled his Rs. It’s a beautiful accent imo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad says kets and bullets for sweets as well and he is from Elswick - so am I like, but I only ever said kets. My dad also uses gypsy slang a lot so a dog is a juggle, a horse is a gallowah, monkeys are jakeys etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
