General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

Forgive me if this has been asked before, but how do you spell powsy, meaning not very good?

This actually goes against the grain for me as I don't particularly like written dialect. I always get the impression of some middle class sort putting-it-on (on paper), when they'd stick out half a mile if they tried to vocalise it in some pubs etc.

A schoolteacher comes to mind who liked to do a mock Wigan accent.

A bit like how systems analysts etc join folk groups and sing about a tough life at sea etc. or down a Cornish tin mine.


Anyroad, google isn't helpong with powsy.
