Eriks.....the Germans.....more a Geordie saying than one of ours. Seem to remember it came from auf wiedersehen pet? I think it did come from the said programme, thinking about this, and nearer to home Roughyeds were a description for someone from Oldham. A Moonraker from Slawit, a cuckoo from the fair village of Marsden -The Rose of Colne Valley.A Liiy from Golcar. anymore?

Not only did you know who the cock was, but also second cock third cock maybe right down to twentieth cock... Even though many of them had never swung a punch in public... But if the seventh cock had a pop at the fifth cock without response.. Up he went to fifth . .. A bit like the WBC ranking (but less fixed)

"For them as wants 'em" was a regular from my grandma, often said after she'd made some buns or something similar. "There's some buns there for them as wants 'em."

Thread lacks teacake/current teacake/breadcake debate... Was surprised when i went to uni in liverpool that current teacakes were now teacakes and chips with bits were chips with scraps . Also surprised that all scousers were robbing bastards (a bit of regional stereotyping added just to try and broaden my appeal as a poster )

Lived in Leeds for a couple of years though, and it's breadcake. Ask for a teacake in a Leeds chip 'ole and you get looked at like you've just raped their only grandchild. I still refused to say breadcake though.

Buglining - standing in a position to tap the ball into the net at football, and doing little else. If I mention it elsewhere everyone looks askance. One of my teachers from school, George Redmonds, wrote a book on Huddersfield dialect. See www.abebooks.co.uk/West-Riding-Words-Selection-Dialect-Huddersfield/9333271138/bdAs I don't have Yorkshire heritage, but was brought up in Huddersfield, the only word I regularly use that is local dialect is "snicket". Seems a perfect word to me!

Not sure if you can go much further than Hudds/Holmfirth, walk into a chippy and just say 'twice please', knowing you'll get two lots of fish n chips.

My mum comes out with a few corkers, lathered (hot and sweaty) and scoddy (a miserly portion of food) being too of my favourites. She also like to refer to something as being 'clock cold'.

At school we had wassock, divvy and biz (if something was rubbish). Brussen (as in "brazen" or full of yourself). Leek geen (spelt correctly?)....a randy fella. Barn (as in "bound"). Wheers tha barn...Where are you going. Mullock..a mess. Creel, a line up to the roof for drying clothes or raising bread.

Peawazzer...bowling underarm along the floor. Toewazzer/toepoker....shot with the toe along the ground. Coal shunts...sidings where coal was picked up delivered (great for playing in).

Got, Got, Got, Not Got.......who remembers small crowds in the playground gathered around playing swapsies with 1970's Pannini Football Cards ? Laughing at how momentous Ian Wallace of Coventry City's Ginger Afro was probably in their Brown Away Kit too. Pannini? It was ABC gum cards, red, black and blue backs. Wasnt Pannini late 70s? Think ABC started ealy 60s.

We made up our own game called "fugby" - it was kind of a cross between football and rugby where you could use any force (except hitting in the face/balls) to bring each other down, and you weren't allowed to kick the ball. The match started with both teams around the centre circle and the ball in the middle... Martin Allen's Brentford brought that to another level. Anyone else spend their youth climbing? We would climb hills, trees, buildings, anything just for the hell of it. I've just remembered a great one too. Grass sliding on cardboard "slick" boxes. Started out on cardbord but moved on to industrial plastic sheeting. Much faster. My pal Craig sat on a giant staple and had a dozen stitches in his arse with that game.

Life often revolved around phone boxes. Calling the speaking clock or dial a disc to listen to a crackly record down the phone. Why did we do that? Annoying the operator or ringing someone randomly and asking for Valerie Singleton (of Blue Peter fame) and sniggering when some old dear said "never heard of them"!! We would chain folk in, push against the doors, toss fireworks in, set light to the phone book and other daft, unmentionable actions. There was climbing them, queueing for them (on Sunday nights there could be 12 in the queue), breaking the windows, looking for coins, jamming the slots, graffiti, snogging and the old game of "how many people can you get in a phone box?". Many hours spent trying to undo screws and cables. What fun!!! If the government brought the boxes back we would get some old-fashioned anti-social behaviour, not the granny-bashing we have today.
