Standing there like a tin of milk

[Tadger]

Are there many different versions of this little rhyme? My Nanna used to sing:

All of a sudden,
A giant black puddin' came flying through the air
It missed me mutha and hit me fatha
And knocked him off his chair

The version my grandad sung me was:

All of a sudden
A great black puddin’ came flying through the air
It missed me Ma and hit me Da
And knocked him of the chair (Whey!)

 

[The Snockerty Friddle]

I really upset someone once when I said "now then bonny lad." He thought I was calling him gay. I nearly got knacked.

Chebble or chabble, chetties or chatties.

A chebble leg - shortened to "Cheb" - a common term used in the shipyards to describe a well endowed gadgies cock.

"He's gorra cock on him like a chebble leg"

Owwa many fuckers relying on "tinternet" for their info - just listen to the owldies for explanations - no need to look up "urban dictionary" and other shite.

Obviously never shouted at lasses to suck their cheb end marra.

Not sure I've heard "Wind ya neck in" elsewhere but I doubt it is just a Sunderland saying.
"Had ya pash" is probably Sunderland only.

Had yer pash - used in east Durham pit villages (at least) since I was knee high to a chebble leg (40+ yrs ago) .


Favourite of mine...

With one's tongue pushing one's cheek, out, and rubbing said cheek with one's hand...
