Ayatollah Hermione 17238 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Maybe this was just in my house, but as a kid, if I ever asked my mam where something was, a toy I couldn't find for example, her reply was usually 'up me arse!' My mother used to say the same, that's just reminded me. The things that make you laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to think they made at least one draft though "come on you bag of twats, let's go to the cunting village!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catmag 653 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 When I was in Leeds the locals would say "while" instead of "(un)til). So a typical office type would work "Nine while five". Baffling. They say that in Ashton near Manchester aswell which is where I lived. Or they'd say "I'm not going out while 8 o'clock.." The other thing was my ex-husband used to say "I'll do it again" meaning 'later' if he hadn't got round to it, which confused me as I always though you had to have actually done something in the first place in order to do it again.

They do the "while" one here too, I do it. "agate" Is one I don't hear anywhere but burnley, people say "ah were agate" meaning "I said" or "I was saying" not got a clue where that one comes from. Eejit (idiot) is a regular one for me too but I think I got that off my irish gran. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJS 5305 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 The strongest swear word I ever heard my Mam use was probaly sod - she definitely wouldn't have used arse - obviously a generational thing but despite being a serial swearer myself I still find the thought of parents swearing to be a bit "common" to use an old-fashioned word.

catmag 653 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 And yet other people have already said their mothers said it! You're a bit late with the comedy act I can honestly say that my mother would never have dreamed of saying "up me arse" to me when I was a kid (or even now!) and it's not something I'd ever say to my son. To each their own, obviously, but I find it more than a bit weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 5305 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 (edited) I can honestly say that my mother would never have dreamed of saying "up me arse" to me when I was a kid (or even now!) and it's not something I'd ever say to my son. To each their own, obviously, but I find it more than a bit weird. I know its semantics but I could maybe just about accept "I'll smack your arse" from a mother but as you say "up me arse" crosses some kind of line.

Kid Dynamite 9342 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 My mother used to say the same, that's just reminded me. The things that make you laugh. I've heard that saying hundreds of times from people from all over the North East. Maybes we were just a bit more down to earth in Sacriston. My house wasn't quite the 'golly gosh' sort of place that CTs, Caths and Chezs obviously was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 9342 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 When I was growing up in County Durham it was always 'up me arse 2nd shelf on the left'. I still say it now much to the confussion of my wife And another one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As i said though, inappropriate. Would you say it to your daughter (if you had one)? I doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
