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 Chuddy in my bit of Cheshire growing up. |

Any word beginning with the letter “H”, always seem to drop it.

One other thing we’re good at is shortening peoples first names.
I never thought anything of it, but my Manc wife thinks it’s hilarious and it’s been commented on by other non Stoke friends.
Even to the point where we’ll shorten it to a single letter. H for Harry for example.
Ay up H.

Slightly off topic anybody noticed JoeinOz during match threads ….he always refers to players by shortening their name and adding an "O".
Powo
Allo
Cluco
Davo
And the latest is Surro
Are just a few I’ve seen. Is this an Ozzy thing?

Thought of another one the other day, so I'm glad this thread has reappeared - saved me having to look for it:
To get something 'in a robble' --- ie. to get facts wrong, or shoelaces in a knot, or string in a tangle, etc.

When I was at school (in Newcastle under Lyme) Jackanory was a popular kids programme. If someone started telling you something you didn't believe thenyou chanted 'Jackanory Jackanory' to then.
Over time (within the school) this was shortened to 'Jack' so anyone accused of lying was "Jacking" or "spinning Jacks". And this became absolute common parlance.
However it despite some 500 odd kids using it on a daily basis it never seemed to go further than the school and I've often wondered with the development of slang what makes a word or phrase catch on to a wider or regional population and what makes another just wither on the vine.

It needs to sound good for a start. A bunch of posh kids from up 'Castle screaming "Spinning Jack" at eachother inna going catch on with all the 'cool kids' getting pissed & stoned in Bentilee, Blurton & Meir. |

My grandad used to say “not p’tic” in answer to a question. As in “fancy a brew?” “Not p’tic”.
Basically a shortened version of not particularly.
Never heard anyone else say it🤷🏻♂️
