How to Talk Like a Local: A National Phrasebook from the author of Word Perfect
When its cold, are you nithered, taters or perishing? The English language in Britain changes from county to county, with hundreds of local words to discover. Susie Dents beguiling guide to these words charts their origins and development.
From the Trade Paperback edition. From dardledumdue, which means daydreamer in East Anglia, through forkin robbins, the Yorkshire term for earwigs, to clemt, a Lancashire word that means hungry, this title investigates an astonishingly rich variety of regional expressions, and provides insight into the history of the English language.
