Being as my Grammar is usually pretty good, I got into a discussion the other day about my use of the word "aren't".
"Do you want Brown Sauce or Ketchup?"......"I aren't bothered, either will do".
It breaks up the words "are" and "not", and "I are not bothered" makes no sense.
So, maybe I am thick after all.
Is "aren't" a Stoke thing?

Cracker Bish. It's one that really says stop it. It's like when Minnie is tickling Salop's ballsack with a peacock feather. The only thing that can bring that process to a halt is when Salop mouths the words "deck it" silently, with the whites of his eyes rolling about like a one armed bandit.

An interesting scenario that you paint **************.....however I can't help thinking that you are drifting off into the realms of fantasy again

A word I've grown up with but appears not to actually be a word is 'Obstroculous'
Is this a Stokie word because when I've been asked to explain it to people outside the area they say I mean obstreperous when I tell them my understanding of it's meaning

There is a tendency to replace letters but keep,words sounding similar. For example the letter T often replaces K sound and the letter D replaces the G sound. As in "looks lark Shawcross is injured and he's struddling in the centre cirtle on the pitch".

Pot Bank And the Stokie pronunciation of kiln. Outside Stoke you get looked at daft when you call it a kil'.
Interestingly, I was in our local Tesco the other day (I live in Somerset) and the lady on the till said "don't forget your change, duck". I've never heard it used outside Stoke before, but it turned out she was from Leicestershire and it's used over there too.

What about 'flirt' meaning 'fly off unexpectedly'?
As in "cost 'ave a lewk 'neath thee chair duck, I just oopened this bottle and the top flirted off ower theer."
It's one of those words (like nesh) which there's no real synonym for and is just really useful. My South American girlfriend even uses it now.

I can't remember hearing the word 'flit' used for moving house anywhere except Stoke.
Having said that most of my house moves have been in the south, is it a Stokie word or a northern thing?
