Puddled - for a daft egit
I use it all the time add your expletives if choice on the end for extra effect. It's a nice way to insult someone with a smile on your face. "You puddled twat"
Proper Stoke word describes clay slip going off..

Bunce - money Surry - mate Marra - mate (probably came from the NE pit dialect when some moved in/out Stoke) I think Bunce is Cockney rhyming from Bunsen Burner. Have heard before somewhere chong was a great one. Always remember a kid asking me for Chong on a train years ago. no idea what the feck he was on about at the timeChud or Chudder heard in many places not just Stoke area

Swifty - 4 or 5 quick fire pints after work. On a Friday afternoon “swifty or wa?” Probably not a Stoke thing but never heard it anywhere else.

Terrarabit Wet is a Royal Navy term. The Navy, incidentally, being one of the big influences on our language and sayings.

This is not a localized Stoke thing but I've noticed the recent re-emergence and frequent use of the word "bonkers" to describe unusual or intense situations. It is probably incorrectly used as there is a tendancy to use it as pure hyperbole, as people do with "Awesome" or "Epic" applied to situations or incidents that are clearly anything but. I thought bonkers had faded from use years ago, or at least I haven't heard it for a long time.

I think bullyhead might be one. Oooooh! Haven't heard that word for SO MANY years and years, in fact so long that I had totally forgotten it and had to think about it, to see if I really did recognise it, but I'm sure I do. If it's how I remember it, it used to mean a somersault, but I think its use was maybe 'phased out' perhaps in the 1960s or 70s and replaced with what might have been considered as sounding more 'trendy', ie. a 'forward roll'. You definitely get 10/10 and a gold star for posting that one, Comms. It was bally head actually
