Sounds like she knows more about the area than a few on this thread.

 

[AlpineExile]

Got wrong.

 

[matt228]

Got wrong.

All over the north east, this, but I had no idea it wasn't just a normal English term until I moved to Scotland and they looked at me like I was speaking German. Same for ket meaning sweets, they thought I was asking for drugs.

 

[Iballistic George]

Cheesy chips an bloo pop please

 

[Mackem Tommy]

Ross ewt.

 

[Scimmy]

Aye, that'll be reet!! said in a cynical Mackem way with furrowed brow.

 

[dixonsafc]

Got wrong.

I didn't realise until I moved out of the area at 18 that this wasn't correct English

No one says that outside of Sunderland?

Graffiti over A19?

Off piste, but has anyone other than south tynesiders ever been heard saying "Gan doon street", referring in this case to Ocean Road I think?

Owev Gavy is volling down the hill.

(Roker people use ‘v’ instead of ‘r’).

I mentioned this a while back and was scorned. There was a lad working groundsman at Whitburn Cricket Club who was from SR5 and he called the big roller the vorla.

 

[Horatio Pugwash]

"For fucks sake"
Maybe not a Sunderland phrase, but I say it a lot when I'm watching the match

I was working over in the states last year and came out with "ahh, for fucks sake". The yank guy I was working with burst out laughing and told me that was the first real English phrase he'd learned. They had an English bloke in the company and loved it when he came out with it.

Garn yem.

They can also understand that in Scandinavia (I think)

I remember that thread and totally agreed with you.

Really strange ‘soft v’ sound in place of an ‘r’.

 

[Chicken Kiev]

Was asked today by an exile as proof of birthright.

[Thackeray]

Owt, shirley?

Or a meringue.
