Here is a test for you all. What might you "broddle"? I'd broddle the ashes in the fireplace.

And come to think of it I used to get told off for broddling my nose.

Some chap playing around with 3D images. I find it soothing... but seeing as though you've asked, I'll change it.

Try explaining certain meanings of Yorkshire words like ginnel and snicket to southerners, and they look at you like your from another planet. One of my best mates is Cornish, and he could not understand half the words that came out of my mouth. As a matter of interest regarding certain Yorkshie word meanings ,he eventually ended up buying a book that explains the Yorkshire dialect . Most of my southern mates greet me with either --- eyup lad, or asta o'right lad ,and amazing how they all have a high opinion of Yorkshire especially last of the summer wine area. Yorkshire speaking folk do not pronounce the letter H , and strange how those who take the piss end up trying to talk like us . Americans seem fascinated with our dialect,as more than one who i have met in my time have mentioned that they could listen to me talk all day.

Holmfirthing: When playing All Fours signaling to your partner what they should play or what you've got in your hand. This would lead to discussions of whether it was cheating and to what extent it could be allowed. My Dad was from Hade Edge and he knew it at Oodling (from Oodle = Wooldale).

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. I thought it was humdrum depictions of the working class? I think Corrie is a kitchen sink drama. The term actually derives from the play 'Look Back in Anger' by John Osborne with its main character, Jimmy Porter, being the original 'angry young man'. It spawned many a similar drama in the sixties such as 'A Taste of Honey'', 'A Kind of Loving' etc

Sounds a bit like "madman Moore" from Colne Valley high (early 70s), one mean motherfucker of an engineering teacher..

Also "swan-necking", looking at someone elses cards or being nosy.

As i recall... Hossing yourself, working like a horse...doing something. Brussen was brazen, full of yer' sen. Screwing it, fiddling, cheating, getting more than you should have. An easy number. Leek geen, a womaniser, a horny fella? A man who chased young girls? Daft as brush..or a walling hammer. As in the simile 'Leek geen as a (yowlin?) cat. Leek geen as a posser 'ed. (Lightly given to morality)is how I remember it.

Gozzing. Spitting Mithering. Bothering Getting gobbed (beaten up). Chuddy (ughhh sharing chewing gum). Nicking bottles of orange from the back of milk floats. Oh, and milk floats. Donkey stones and folk shovelling up horse shit from the street for their roses! Rag bone for a balloon or goldfish. Egg banjos, margarine instead of butter. Coin operated TVs. Lino, carpet sweepers. Women in hair nets and outside with curlers and slippers. Pinnys, overalls, dungarees, braces for trousers and socks. Turn-ups, neckerchiefs, pocket-chiefs. Wash day, pegging out and tin dustbins. Flat caps, whippets, snuff, pipes and clogs. Women walking with their arms folded in front of them ike Flo' in Andy Capp. "FP fire plugs and no plugs back" before pulling someones hair. Catching crayfish in the canal. Building bikes from scrap parts and dens from bed heads and ferns. Tin bath with oil barrels strapped to it and sailing down the canal before getting stuck on the weir. Land of the Giants collector cards (and Catweazle). Grandad asleep in the corner. Collecting for harvest festival and delivering boxes to old folk. Latches on gates and outside toilets. Bouncing off privet hedges and scrumping apples from gardens. Pea raiding and balckberry/elderberry picking. Shoving folk into the nettles and skimming stones on mill-ponds. You can keep your sanitised Britain, your (un)social media, failed schools, Wii games and obsession with (non) celebrity and (non) reality shows. We had characters, hardship, fraternity, camraderie, the outdoors, nature and animals, a real sense of belonging and possibility. Not halcyon but miles better than this money/phone/appearence/child obsessed dystopia. Bump!

When I lived in Cornwall the ubiquitous pub game ( usually played for a round of drinks ) was spoof. Is it ever played up here ?
