Splart, as in:
All of a sudden,
A great big puddin came flying through the air
It hit Mrs Kelly a smack in the belly
and SPLARTED all her hair
I had big problems asking for a mince pie in Manchester once. Left the chippie in a huff it was that bad.Asking for a fish lot anywhere but Sunderland causes puzzled looks, not to mention the batter situation
Tret isn't it?Treat (as in pronounced treet) rather than treated.
Getting wrong. It's apparently bizarre to southerners.

Having spent 3 years at the Poly and subsequently working with Sunderland people the following sayings are unique to Sunderland.

Reminds me when we moved from Sunderland to Newcastle my old Dad had gone into a shop to buy my Mam some Murray Mints which of course he pronounced as 'merry' mints. He was told there was no such thing and was given a quarter of Merry Maids instead - caramel covered in chocolate, a much nicer sweet. Mam was well pleased but as they were probably more expensive he never made that mistake again.Topper
