Regional Ramblings - Ends 27th August

[MKR&*42]

Earlier this year, one of my college tutors told the class that "daps" (a word used to refer to plimsolls used in p.e.) was a word only really used in the South-West. I was astounded so went to ask a few people from various places of the country if they knew what daps were... they were all bewildered. Not only this, I've noticed a few people thank bus drivers by saying "cheers drive" and thought it was a bit odd - turns out this is regional dialect for thanking a bus/taxi driver.

There are certainly some more strange words that would only be found commonly used in certain counties (e.g. in Dorset, a wasp can be called a "woopsy"). I want you to post below any unusual dialect/words used solely in your region (or country if you're outside of the U.K.) - if you can't think of any, Google is a great place to start!

"Quare" is a word only really used in the county I live in. Often used to replace the word "really" so you would so "Omg I am quare tired"

turnt up - e.g 'im about to get turnt up' = i'm about to get hyped. - USA. I'm british though. And calling someone a pikey. Pikey = Pub slang, all I know is, it's an insult.
