Does Your City/Country Have Slang?

[LukeB]

and if so what are they?


Wench - It means girl/woman.. (this is on the list for Birmingham words/phases but it's now exclusive to Brum)
Bab

[MB.]

Mardy, jitty and.... err, that's about it

(pretty sure 'wench' isn't exclusive to Birmingham)

[LukeB]

Mainly Dudley, but i'm sure others use it. but it's still a slang used where I'm from.

if you type in birmingham slang also Wench will come up.

I grew up in Newcastle, there's loads :laugh:

Tab - cigarette - "h'ya man, gizz'a tab like"
Chav (I know everyone says it but in newc it's pronounced charv or charver) - "that charver nicked all me tabs like"
Chud - chewing gum

and more I can't think of right now

Where do you live? I recognise a couple o' those

[DemolitionRed]

When my partner was working at this firm in France, he taught this French guy some useful English words. He didn't tell the guy it was Cockney rhyming slang though. We all met up one evening for a drink and he proudly came up to me and asked me if we could 'bubble and squeak' in English!

I didn't have the heart to tell him but Steve did get a slap from me later!

[mizzy25]

No word of a lie... I spent my whole childhood thinking it was called a bunnyhug... Still call it this.

You can buy a bunnyhug here with the definition of bunnyhug printed on it

I live in the heart of the black country so there's a lot of colloquialisms associated with the area, if you weren't familiar with the dialect and you talked to some of the older people around here you'd think they were speaking another language.
