It’s the norm now for teenage lasses to be fat as fuck and proud of it .
Driving back through the town yesterday down Chester rd and the amount of young lasses with their git big darbys uncovered and hanging out had me agog .
They all had that “Instagram “ makeup on aswell .

Nowt wrong with fat lasses ,they are quite attractive when presented properly but these youngens certainly are not doing themselves any favours like .
:lol::lol:
What are darbys
 


Darby Kelly’s ,

It’s a well known Mackem phrase to describe bellies
Cockney not Mackem though kite for stomach might be.
DERBY KELLY
Derby Kelly is Cockney slang for Belly.
Proper old Cockney Slang.

Immortalised by Harry Champion in the song Boiled Beef and Carrots.

Boiled beef and carrots,
Boiled beef and carrots,
That's the stuff for your "Derby Kell",
Makes you fit and keeps you well.
Don't live like vegetarians
On food they give to parrots,
Blow out your kite, from Morn 'til night,
On boiled beef and carrots.
 
When I was a lad we would stop at Porters after visiting me Nana on a Sunday and get two cans of McEwans Export which me Dad would then mix with Villa lemonade to make shandy for us kids to drink with our Sunday dinner. Of course we’d have a nip out of the can. That was my first real taste of beer. It said right there on the can ‘India Pale Ale’ and even to my young palate tasted decent to me. Light and refreshing on a hot day in the summer. Now all these bars serve “IPA” and it’s nowt like that. Dark, cloudy, thick and with that foul, bitter / sour after taste. I don’t know who invented the the definition of IPA but it’s currently nowt like what I was used to as a youngun.
Dark? Only double ipas, mostly

Dark and Black IPAs are a thing in the US, and inevitably they have come over here as of late. I had one the other day, not bad really but not something I could drink a lot of

IPA as a beer term is very loose, seems anyone can call a beer an IPA these days

Pretty sure that’s cockney slang. Loads of southerners I know will call a belly a ‘Darb’.

Beaten to it.

Wouldn’t call the doubles ‘dark’ either. Unfiltered and unfined is the trend but still almost invariably made with a pale-ish malt.

Surely an IPA has to be a pale ale though? Or am i just out of touch

There are black IPAs about these days but the lines are increasingly blurred.
