"Be reight." – I'm so desperately sorry to hear of the awful time you're going through, but I have faith and hope that things will sort themselves out.

"Ey up!" – How the devil are you, old friend?

"Yer brew's mashin'." – This exceedingly strong and exceptionally tasty cup of Yorkshire Tea will be with you shortly.

"It's chuffin' roastin' out." – It is March bank holiday and therefore I will not need my coat until October.

"Bagsy 'avin a croggy!" – I'm now officially the first person to be allowed a ride on the back of your bicycle.

"Ow much?" – Do you really mean to tell me that I won't get change from a tenner for this round?

"Eez int'bog." – He's visiting the lavatory at the present moment.

"That's proper champion, that, lad." – My dear child, I've frankly never been more proud of you.

"Gi'us a butty." – Please may I have one of those delightful looking cheese-and-pickle sandwiches?

"Gi'us a chuddy." – Please may I have some chewing gum? Those cheese-and-pickle sandwiches seem to have given me slightly putrid breath.

"Gi'or, yer too cack-'anded." – Look, just let me take over the preparation of this Yorkshire pudding mix, you're frankly too clumsy to be trusted with it.

"I'm chuffed t'bits wi' that." – This is quite possibly the best news I've ever received.

"That ruddy whippet 'as took me cap down snicket!" – I say, that darned stereotypical northern dog has taken off with my equally stereotypical choice of headgear down a narrow alleyway.

"E's in fine fettle." – He's doing very well by all accounts – must have had a smashing trip to Skeggy.

"Tha' knows." – You understand, do you not?

"Tha'll get a clip rahnd lug'oil if tha' carries on like this." – If you don't stop with this fake Yorkshire accent nonsense, I'll smack you in the head.

"Mind you visit yer nan this weekend, she's getting reight mardy." – Be sure to take the time to visit your grandma this weekend, she's starting to get a bit annoyed with you.

"Nah, 'e's allus mitherin' about summat." – That seems unlikely, he's always complaining about something.

"Stop nebbin' in me diary, buggerlugs." – Kindly stop prying into my private affairs, you idiot.

"Ow do, my love?" – Why hello, m'lady.

"Tarra, ducky." – I'm a bus driver/your grandmother/both, and I'm wishing you an affectionate farewell.

"There's nowt s'queer as folk." – People are truly, properly weird.

"Owt's better than nowt." – Well, it's not quite the Sean Bean life-sized cutout I was hoping for, but I suppose this poster of him will do.

"E's neither use nor ornament." – That gentlemen serves quite literally no purpose on this earth.

"Where there's muck, there's brass." – One can make a small fortune if one is willing to engage in dirty work.

"Did I 'eckers like!" – Did I bunk off work to buy Def Leppard tour tickets? My god, of course not!
