When has anyone from Sunderland pronounced table as chebble?

Maybe with a speech impediment??

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.

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!

“Teckle” is my favourite Dundonian word. It means something is braw!

Mine is 'sket' means give us a clue.
Braw, that is old Norse for good as well. 'Bairn' is another one that is Norse for child.

I met a bloke on holiday from Nottingham, he asked me what “Ha’way” meant

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 only about 8 a Gadgie was a night watchman on a building site but for some reason we called him the Garcie!

Somewhere in the Midlands or the Peak District blokes call each other "Love".

Been called Hinny by blokes from Chester le Street loads of times.

Maybe it’s just me then

 

[Kevin Arnott's right boot]

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

I remember being sent out of English class for saying that a book was crap. I just meant that I didn't like it very much.

I think so me owld pal.
Obviously you've never worked in the yards.

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

Could be right
The Septics on the rigs used a phrase called " f***ing thedog" - which basically meant skiving/swinging the lead.

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 ?

Chebble is NW County Durham. As us Byuk (book), skyul (school) etc. And Thoo (you)

Took me years to get out of it. Well, a week, if I’m being honest.

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!
