We're celebrating all things Yorkshire here at Wynbrook Marketing and, as communication is central to everything we do here, thought we'd share a little bit of Yorkshire with you. Enjoy.
"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!
