Some of my mates used to call it "chung" but I've never heard it as "chuddy". I remember at school we used to call it chung or chong GD

I can’t for the life of me work out how, but chuddy apparently originates as cockney slang for chewing gum.

30 odd years ago I had a neighbour who I used to go drinking with , long haired metal fan (as was I tbh) who caused mass confusion one day by popping round asking to “ borrow me some money” so I said no I’m alright thanks, he looked blank and asked again, I said no I’m good , I don’t need to borrow any money, then we both fell silent until the penny finally dropped me mean lend him some money. So I said “ you want me to lend you some money” , and he said “ yeah that’s what I said, borrow me some money”. Long story and possibly dies in the retelling lol. I worked in Wales for awhile and luckily avoided any “is it / isn’t it” conversations that go on for ages. Did have to laugh when that company did fire drills though, took the roll call and were on the Evans for about 5 minutes, all breathed a sigh of relief until we reached the Jones!
Here you are, Tel: This line must have been written just for you! "This is a Welsh regiment, man - though there are some foreigners from England in it, mind. I am Jones from Builth Cywyd. He is Jones from Builth Wells. There are four more Joneses in C Company. Confusing, isn't it, Dutchy?"
PS: I trust you noticed that there's also an 'isn't it?' in there!

I'm still not confident with the correct us of lend and borrow. Probably why I'm a financial nightmare. Use a sort of mnemonic for it... 'I borrow a book from a lending library....' Library doing the lending, I'm doing the borrowing. Still have to think about it, proper Stoke thing in my experience.

For my sins, as a card-carrying Londoner, I’ve worked lived and worked all over the place, so have doubtless caused as much linguistic confusion in Stoke, Wales, Yorkshire as I’ve been exposed to....! Glad it’s not just me on the lend/borrow one though, there were tumbleweeds rolling during the silence cos we were both confused as f**k!

So where the 'ell does Telford come in????

Lived and worked all over the place, married a Brummie (don’t start!) and we opted to move up north (so to speak) and Telford ticked a lot of boxes. My youngest has recently become football mad so bring her to games now, which is lovely actually. Couldn’t afford to move back now if I wanted lol!

I was wondering what on earth a Londoner was doing supporting US! (Of course, you are more than welcome!) Yes, an awful lot of folks come here to study, whether at Keele Uni or Staffs Uni (formerly Stoke-on-Trent Polytechnic) and then decide to stay here after they graduate - and loads and loads say it's because they like the people here! Fancy marrying a Brummie, though - what on earth were you thinking about??????!!!!!! (I ask because I did, too.......)

I am a little surprised that more of the one liner posts appearing in this thread aren't actually suffixed or followed by the words "Duck" or "Shug" (Sug).

Crossomical (deliberately awkward) as in "Oh 'es bein crossomical" Leos for meddlers and crutches for lame ducks. A parent would ay this to someone (usually a child) if they did not want to answer an awkward question.

Shug- term of endearment
Slatting it down- raining
Marrer- mate
Snapping- food

Another great story, PL. Your dad picked a magical era to join us at the Vic. (There were some great times in the 1960s, though, too!) Is your AV a USA sports team logo??? It looks like one. Are you over there?

A parent would ay this to someone (usually a child) if they did not want to answer an awkward question. I never, ever, heard that expression within my own family, CS, but an elderly lady (friend of the family) we used to often visit used to say it to me all the time when I was very, very little and I never had a clue what she meant!

Slowly slowly catchy monkey Murphs. A friend of mine was doing 'Mikado' many moons ago (I didn't see it) - he was playing one of the leads, and at one point suddenly realised he couldn't move as one of the other guys was treading on the hem of his Japanese costume, so, as the show was being done locally, he added the immortal line "Ewd thee fut up, yewth" and got a huge laugh from the audience. I don't know what he'd have done if they'd been anywhere else, though….. eg. 'Excuse me, please", is nowhere near as good!
