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

[Kevin Arnott's right boot]

Hellish, meaning good, always confuses people.

I've never heard of a cheb meaning anything other than a cock until I joined this board. I still havnt heard anyone call titties chebs other than on this board.
If the whole cheb/tittle thing is a made up in-joke amongst some of the smb I'll admit I missed that one.

I grew up in the south east and the anatomical meaning of twat was vagina, and as an insult it would rank a lot higher than twit!

Well maybe I've lived a sheltered life?

But round these parts the word twat more usually means the first bit in the following. I'd say usage of the word is lowish though.


The word twat is widely used as a derogatory epithet, especially in British English, referring to a person considered obnoxious or stupid. It is also used informally as a verb in British English to mean "to hit or punch a person". In British English and Commonwealth English, it is pronounced /twæt/ to rhyme with that, or sometimes /twɒt/, to rhyme with hot. ... Twat is also used in British English as vulgar slang for the vulva or female genitals in general.

Marra

That word bugs me to no end... sounds too much like the French "merde" to me. To me it sounds like what you would call the shit that is smeared on the toilet paper when you wipe.

Sorry, no offense intended.

Remember when wad meant a big roll of money.

It still does here in the US

Nice one marra is a light hearted saying and means well done.

My dad made a gate for me once and the old fellas in the traditional ironmonger shop were stumped when fatha asked for a sneck for a gaert!

Been ages since I've heard sneck .

I always understood the word Canny to be a local word meaning pleasant or ok when referring to a person,
as in Canny Lad.

However I get the impression that in recent decades it’s been picked up in other areas of the U.K. and given an entirely different meaning as in clever, smart or worldly wise.

Comments ?

Smart or clever in the US

My dad rip asked a bloke where he could pick up some fags while in Florida . Got a dodgy look

Yeah, that has a completely different meaning here in the US

As you do.

 

[Scotsmackem]

A American told me that some of the lads use a certain spot in work for dogging
It means skiving

Same in Glasgow. The ex was a teacher and told me it was her turn to go and round up the doggers one day, thought she seemed pretty relaxed about it. Turns out dogging it is how they refer to skiving up here.

 

[Deleted member 40035]

Yeah, that's what I figured it meant.

Nice 1

I can back to the early 80's at school and confirm cheb was deffo a reference to a male appendage.

 

[RedHouseMackem]

I still can’t get my head around the SMB referring to “gadgies” as if it’s a good thing. Up here the term “gadgy” is what you lot would refer to as a “scratter”.

Any more?

When i was Young in the 60s/70s a gadgie was a Nightwatchman on a building site.
