"Ah don't bother you're bollix Mrs." said to a housewife by the coal man when she offered to go back in to the house to get the ten pence she was short for the bag of coal.

I am called a "dirtbird" multiple times everyday in college. You'd hear it a lot more if you went around dispensing smutty one liners and Kenneth Williams style double-entendres....

Football in the park and you boot the ball 60 yards outside the field

Ah the summer of 1994, good times

[QUOTE=Wibbs;82776112]He\she's a real go be the wall and tiddle the bricks. A sneaky individual.

Up to me oxters. One is up to one's armpits in work.

Lamb of the divine jayzuz. I'm quite perplexed.

I don't hear "gurrier" so much any more.[/QUOTE]

I still use this only as "He/She's a tiddle the bricks and go be the wall":o
I still use oxters(only used it the other day:o) )
Love the expression gurriers and would use that as well as "Bowsie"

You don't hear many people using "Header" as in "Jaysus, yer man's a right header"

Day'yeh
Very versatile word, worked in nearly every situation e.g.

Lad in second year : I rode loadsa mots in Git's gaffe at his party
Lads friend (until they leave school and never see each other again) : Day'yeh you lying pr**k

Spa, abbreviated version of spastic. Derogatory term, usually used to indicate a high level of stupidity.

As in "you're some f**cking spa to put petrol into a diesel car".

stmol32 · 20-01-2013 01:57AM

Spa was/still-is a great one because it's so short you can change it to whatever your imagination dictates.

A friend of mine once called me a "a spasmodial geebag full of spasmotic sh**ehawks"..... I really hope that spa became the novelist he always dreamed of being.

I used to always say "I'm up to me oxters in work" until I found out oxters wasn't really a rude word.
