Never heard of it so google says it means silly nonsense

I no someone who speaks it all the time.

In today's language that's WKD

Standing on a platform and talking Tommy Rot

Ragamuffins. Where did they go to

2 that my nan used to say were:

“Jemmy Aw’Meyt” as in “Oh ‘eyup here he is, Jemmy Aw’meyt!”
and if somebody was continually up to mischief they were a “Ring tail’t ‘un!”

My mother favorite .... “he’s a roozer!”

When did sick change its meaning,
And when I accidentally bump into someone they always seem to say
My bad

My wife whinges about anything. You would call her a mardarse
She was having her toe nail clipped by the chiropodist and she started whinging and I said to the chiropodist ignore her she is "nesh" he said he had never heard the word

Peter,my Father in law often used the word ' nesh ' ,he was from Beech Hill Wigan,I wonder if it was common in Beech Hill..

Noggin means Yed.
It's abawt time tha started using thi noggin, lad!

I like the word " MI OWD MARROW ""

My Father in law always called his wife ( my Mother in law) ...sorry... instead of her proper name..can anybody tell me why.....I never wanted to ask him.

My Dad,a pitman,used to say sorry quite a lot but it always sounded like serry or surry.No idea what it meant

I called a baby a "sprog" wife said you cannot call it that

"I wonder if it was common in Beech Hill.."

Common? Beech Hill?? Aye., Common as Muck!

Oy thee.

Some years ago Fred Dibnahs brother Graham did the bricklaying for me on an extension.He came one cold morning and said it was a bit nesh outside.I had never heard it before and presumed it was a Bolton saying.

Me and mates were talking about words, here are they used, thingy ,thingymebob whatsit òoseisit jaffnaged nather one ert tother loads more to add on,

" He is a total wazzock" meaning a stupid or annoying person. There are a few of these on WW

Mr, Hartley the woodwork teacher at Cansfeild called kids a Wazzock very often,

I often wonder who 'Soft Mick' is.
Others - as a kid I would told not to go near the swampy ground/algae covered ponds... or Nanny Green Teeth would get me.
Another phrase that I find amusing is... "I wouldn't do that if they gave me 5 thousand quid!" Who are these people in the background with an abundance of money who are waiting for someone to do what they don't want to do and then send a big parcel of cash...
A mate of mine thought Aspull was windswept and 10 dgrees colder than Wigan, I remember him saying I wouldn't live in Aspull if they gave me a gowd (gold) diamond. I'm sure there isn't such a thing, but my mate lived in a tiny council house in Beech Hill. I'd be off like a shot to Aspull if I got something worth a 'gowd diamond'!
No disrepect to Beech Hill by the way - I was brought out on Council estates in my youth.

We had a lad from Doncaster came to work with us and if he had been ill hwould say he was Badly
