Leicestershire "speak"

[Ann]

We laugh at the way (some) Leicestershire people talk .........present company excluded!!

Say these out loud:

Shlatternipomferit (I will have to go back home to fetch it)
Shadderaredun? (has she had her hair styled?)
Shurrupangerronweeit (be quiet and keep working!)
Ayupmeduk - (Hello dear)
Taintmineitzyawn (It doesn't belong to me, it belongs to you)
Awurfritstiff (I was very very scared)

You can present almost any dialect in this way. Consider...Ekamteetullim. It would be written, "'e cam' tae tul 'im" - if that helps - and is, in plain English, "He came close (or up) to him." It's from north-east Scotland.

Another good Aberdonian phrase is, "Furry boots?" There, words beginning with 'wh' such as where, when etc change the 'wh' to 'f'. When = fan, for example. Spoken quickly, therefore, 'whereabouts' sounds just like 'furry boots'.

I'm reliably informed that the same "wh-" sounded as "f-" also applies in New Zealand. The district of Rotorua known as Whakarewarewa is actually pronounced in a way that would gice the Editor apoplexy.

We have lots of fun with dialects. I'm from Leicestershire and my wife is from Buchan !!!!

The well-know Aberdeen radio presenter Robbie Shepherd, when shown a pair of skis for the first time, is reputed to have exclaimed, ''Well, fit fit fits fit?'' (''Which foot fits which?'').

New Zealand is disconcerting.

"You ought ta broosh yer here." fo the act of brushing one's hair.

All I thought that they could say was a pith of 'owbraypie and 'shirepoksozzages.. but then hearing that the county flower is a fucksgluff had me seriously pi$$ing myself with lafftur.

[DTCwordfan]

the latter line referring to Leicestershire folk of course.
