The most Sunderland phrase you can think of?

[chr1s1973]

I reckon "marra" might be up there as the most Sunderland word for me, like. I learned it on here; no-one in Shildon or Bishop says it.

It's a Durham pit village word that they use all over the north east now (from what I can see), certainly not a Sunderland word.

Any of the above that have been mentioned, spoken with a gruff as owt voice which sounds like the vocal chords have been given a good seeing to by a leather tanning machine.

I'm from SR6 and I hadn't until I was in my late teens either, certainly not something people said around my way when I was young.

I'm hearing marra being mentioned a lot more these days and they are even saying nice one as well.

All the best marras. I think its an old shipping term.

I was at work with a lad from East London the other day and said 'it was garn all ower the shop' and he looked at me as if I was speaking another language.

It kinda blends into one word when you say it in the middle of a sentence.
