Tek thee hooks No idea what it meant, but an old bloke used to shout it at us anytime we went near his house. I think it was his way of saying f-off. substitute tek for sling and there you go. If you still need help - it means clear off.

When I lived near Holmfirth in the 1950s we used to order 'one of each' in the Fish and Chip shop, but when I moved 25 miles away, they didn't know what I was talking about. ('0ne of each twice' meant fish and chips twice). Has anyone else heard of that expression. Also, if we were playing cricket in the street, 'Ferry' meant 'bags to be first in'.

'Ferry', good shout.
Pretty sure we mentioned 'one of each' earlier in thread.
One of each twice, bits on one.

We weren't so loquacious in Heckmondwike. You just said "twice" please.

Another one I wondered about, when a Yorkshire guy calls someone pal, it often seems to be rather unfriendly and intimidating. Mate, however is perfectly fine. Yet this seems reversed darn sarth. Anyone else see this or am I just over sensitive? I concur with this, "pal" is always a bit condescending.

I think pal/mate could be just what's more common. Pal is a Gypsy word and so originally Sanskrit which entered the language about 300 years ago. Mate is related to "meat" ie someone you share food with and is Anglo Saxon. The first must have been more common in the big ports and cities like London where there was a larger Romany population, so it sounds a bit foreign to our ears.

Certainly never heard it in the 60's / 70's. Probably an affectation from Taggert in the 80'/90's? Lad?

'Beezer' derived from a comic of the same name was used to describe someone, whom one believed was being 'big headed'...

I cannot verify my understanding of the term 'Beezer' due to the mists of time... I can as a leftie confirm 'cack handed' and saw 'off' the last of the teaching profession who treated it as a 'mark of satan' and tried to get you to go right handed.
I can now crack one off with either hand to some aplomb...but I cant write very well with my right, swings and roundabouts there..

When playing a game you wanted to be first at you'd shout "Furdi or Feddi Lodgey"
Still not sure if I was saying it right and no idea how the spelling goes.

attack and d.. and cup tees.... remember cup tees as being one goalie and everyone else trying to score, last one left in each round who didn't score got knocked out..it was mayhem to start with and then got very personal as the numbers were whittled down..
it was always the goalies fault and is probably where the 'all keepers are mad' phrase started...

English. Could only score volleys or headers against one goalie. If you missed or scored from the floor you were in pegs.
Bloody Hell. I posted that on page 2.

Nick just reminded me "kitchen sink-ish"
I never knew what that really meant, but my Mum used to say it about TV plays or films that had a bit of soft core in them.

'Thoyle' as in something you can afford but wont buy because you don't regard it as being value for money eg. 'I like that Town replica shirt but I can't thoyle it at that price.' Don't think there's an equivalent word in the English dictionary. My wife's grandfather uses that; had me mystified when I first heard it. Like most of these words it's Norse. Very interesting. I didn't know that this was Norse in origin, although I did know that 'laiking' was an example. I just think it's terrific that Yorkshire and other Northern dialects and vocabulary have retained some of their Viking origins.

I've posted this before, but what the heck - my Uncle ran a pub in Filey which was the fishermen's local. They all had Norse names and talked in a dialect that seemed to be kind of English, but only just. I'm sure it hasn't changed much since then.

Phil, I always knew it meant 'clear off' but I have often wondered where it came from. One thought is that it is to do with the sea. An anchor is sometimes known as a 'hook' hence 'tek your hook' could mean to weigh anchor and set off though in the local phrase rather less politely.
