Heard lads from all over the UK use it when I've been on my travels to be honest.
I think it’s Northern thing. On TV you never hear it. It’s always the half a dozen variant.
Corn beef for me, but quite simply down to unintended laziness.. What about 'he' s got another thing coming" versus 'he"s got another think coming'.
I was astonished when I found that people outside the North East didn't use "get wrong". Absolutely flabbergasted. It's an expression you hear all the time here when you're a kid so when I left the area at 18 I had just assumed it was standard English.Didn't realise the saying "you'll get wrong" isn't used all over. Mainly seems to be a North East thing

Mind, I've definitely heard "six and two threes" outside the region, and I've definitely heard "six of one, half a dozen of the other" in the northeast. I wouldn't have said there was any controversy in using either explain here or there.
It’s been part of my vocabulary all my life, but it doesn’t make sense when you look at the wording.Didn't realise the saying "you'll get wrong" isn't used all over. Mainly seems to be a North East thing
