Non-natives - North East slang that means something different where you are

[JAZZMANB]

One i've noticed is crap,to us it just means not very good,well down the obscenity scale.
We went and it was crap

To everyone else its the American slant on it as in shit and has to be used more wisely

What’s a ‘cheb’ in Dundee?

In Dumfries and also Edinburgh, ''chebs" means a lady's fun bags e.g "shes got a great set of chebs"
Note of caution, Dundee has many strange language quirks I'm my years of living there. E.g ' Eh' means yes.

 

[Charmless Man]

Well that's different.
Clart to mean mud/shite makes sense I suppose

So does claat to mean cloth if you think about a Jamaican accent.

It's crap is either "rubbish" or "made badly", to "have a crap" is as you detailed above (London) .

Twat has a different meaning from up north too - it is rarely used down here but could likely have the same meaning as twit.

In Staffordshire a stottie is a slim attractive female I.e. slim hottie.

‘Gan’ is to be nosey I.e. have a gander at something.

‘Bairn’ is the least amount of materialistic possessions that bring happiness i.e. the bare necessities.

You've just made all that up haven't you? I lived in Tamworth for 3 1/2 years.
