Ducker(Mar fate ur lark 2 duckers) There was very similar thread to this one (in fact virtually identical) a year or two, Clay, & I posted 'duckers' on that. I've just managed to find it, and it was called 'Words from Staffs' which was started by Harry back on March 31, 2015 !!!It was really fabulous and ran to five pages, and probably featured all the words listed on this thread, including 'franked', with lots of explanations for less common words and phrases posted. I'll bump it in a mo, and I guarantee everyone will find all the posts fascinating. PS: Another old word and a favourite of mine is 'chonnock' - we'd call it a swede, although I've always found them more usually referred to as 'turnips'.

Not a word nor accent but my Grandma used to say "ooo I’ve got a bone in my leg" whenever she struggled to stand up from her chair. This was before her hip replacement.

PS: Another old word and a favourite of mine is 'chonnock' - we'd call it a swede, although I've always found them more usually referred to as 'turnips'. After my grandad from Fenton died many years ago, I had never heard anyone else use the term ' chonnock ' until an away match (at Blackburn I think) a few seasons ago. The old bloke sat next to me wanted some chips at half time, but he walked poorly with a stick and the concourse was 'lively', so I offered to go and get him some. At that moment, an equally old bloke behind us who had just returned with his chips shouted ' I wunner bother mar mate they taste like chonnocks! '. I'd add ' schraff ', as a term for waste on pottery tips, which I never heard anyone else here but my grandad use. Interestingly, my wife's parents are both from Hamburg, and when I'm over there I've heard people use the same word (which correctly used means 'to hatch' in German) to mean scrap metal or metal rubbish in general.

Bunce - money Surry - mate Marra - mate (probably came from the NE pit dialect when some moved in/out Stoke) Worked with an old brickie on building sites in the 80s and he called everyone Surry. Galavanting. My old dear used this if I'd been out on the lash or away with mates. "You been out galavanting again"
