Every time my dad raises a toast he uses "Heres to us, was like us, guy few and they're al' deed" (imagine it in a Scottish brogue). I'm pretty sure the "guy few" means "there's few of them'

 

My Grandma (Scottish) used to say similar every now and then before the odd family meal, but something like 'here's to us, who's like us, damn few, and they're all deed'.

Drops a stunner of at a restaurant. As she's getting out of the car she smiles and say "might see you later". (in a totally innocent way).

 

I reply you might (in my best James Bond voice and smile)... And then say

 

Toodle pip.

I've started saying "geez" a fair bit. Shite thing to say I know, but it's developed as I stopped myself swearing in front of the kids as it was "Jesus fucking Christ man" and when I start to say it I turn it in to "jeez" (geez).

Couple of daft sayings when younger from my gran :

 

- change your face or it will stay like that if the wind changes (if I was pulling a face)

- I'm not buying biscuits as all you do is eat them (wtf was I meant to do)

- ill give you something to cry about (fatha classic)

- ill take my hand off your face (eh?)

 

Nowt bad really (certainly no suggestions of arse storage in my house like thank fuck :lol: )

 

My mates mother uses to call him sackless (meaning stupid) which had us in stitches.

Sackless was/is very common in CLS. Seems to be a definite shift in dialect down this way. It appears the arse comment may also be a Durham saying :lol:
