Is "gogore" correctly spelled?

The word "gogore" was used on here earlier and it made me laugh. I haven't heard it for years.

Is it actally a word that can be written?
I can't find it written down anywhere. It seems similar to gorp (my spelling) as opposed to gawp.

Gawp/gorp, gobbin gogore, gormless, gobs**te. They all belong to the same family.

And they reckon that every family has at least one.

Never heard of that one! My dad's version was home-chucks and ommadawns ( said about the inhabitiants of Crooke!)

But what of gogores?

Nearest Ive seen is gewgaw = a bauble/trinket.

Also the name of the company in the great Ealing comedy "The Lady Killers"

I love the words gawp and gormless, am always using them.

Bet they are never used in road-rage outbursts.

ooooooh they are but I prefix them hehehe

I wasn't suggesting you personally.
But if the cap fits.

gogaw....lol or gogore...reminds me of my dad [ god rest his soul ] he used to call me that on occasion " get out ya bloody gogaw what ya do that for " and I did enough daft trhings to hear it quite regulaly

It was I that referred to another person as a gogore on another thread. I didn't expect it to arouse so much interest
I must admit though that word has always made me laugh If you call someone a gogore down here where I live they don't know what your on about as they never heard of the word!

I thought it was gaga

I think it's your behaving like a gogore [nutcase] AND have you gone a bit gaga [simple]

Never heard of gogore

seeing as it was me he aimed it at I feel I must say as a Wiganer I have never heard the term. Is it made up or does it come from some corner of the borough

It isn't made up... i dunno if it was confined to some minority suburb. Interesting.... Lombera Green was slightly different even though it's still in wigan.

The word was used a lot in Hindley.

Never seen it written but it sounded like gog-awe

Thank you for coming forward sinex. Thanks also to ballboy for responding.

As I said, I hven't heard it for years, and I am still smiling as I write.

I looked at the dialect and old words section on WW but no mention. I was wary of "muckraking" and didn't wish to name names.

Didn't want Gogore-gate on our hands did we.

I've never heard it before

That lisa, is no doubt testament to your itelligence and wisdom.
Sorry moodysue, no offence

In what way dostaf?

Are you taking the preverbial because I've never heard that word?

Meaning no one has ever used the word against you lisa.

ive heard it . but same as jacq leyland.. it was gaga..

as in.
gerrout ya greyt bloody gaga [gormless git]

gaga is what you go

gogore is what you is

I've been called a lot of things in my time but, what's it called again? Oh yes gogore is not one of them.

are you saying i am a shillin short dostaf

kick his arse Sue!

No, well not since decimalisation. The "you" was a generalisation.

haven't got the energy lisa.

feel crap today , so therefore i may just be a bit of a gaga

arse from elbow "ladies"

Your feeling today like I've felt last couple of weeks. Just about started to feel human Sue! And most certainly not gogore.

I have to keep checking how to spell it lol!

err....careful dostaf!

You dont feel gogore!

Unless you manage to get hold of one. And as a rule they're not that quick.

L.M.A.O lisa.. this thread it the best laugh ive had all day.

ps . please don't tell me i have 2 whole weeks of feeling crap to look forward to, cos if thats the case then i will very definately go gaga and become a gogore

Now we're getting there.

And the plural of gogore?

I'm glad I can make someone laugh Sue!

Go on dostaf....what's the plural?

gogos..

no sir,, i is not flashin me lanky legs to all and sundry, by becomin a gog dancer

hehehehehe yerall a bit gaga

I don't mind flashing my legs, they are the best bits! All that horse riding you see!

But I don't flash them that often cause they are a bit chunky!

Gogos?? Argos maybe. Argogores perhaps. as I said, there's one in every family.

Gogeeses (m)?

Gogesses (f)?

gogeeses is what i shout when im on the field with the dogs and the bloody geese chase us little buggers them geeses

Would that be a skein or a gaggle sue?

not sure dostaf, whats the diff

It's something to do with the distance that their bums are from the ground.

I think a gaggle waggles.

so what does a skein do then.

'skein' its backside across the floor

No it flies by the seat of it's pants and the skein of it's teeth.
TTFN.

.
later dostaf

Ooops

What a sad individual

Informative thread...We need more of them

January explanation

Do the one about the cat blinking.

Air sairs?

Hammer

ah!

Apparently they blink if you fetch them a blow to the bonce with an 'ommer.

They may do if you follow my procedure...try it using a mirror, a cat and a gauntlet.

Tampering around the ballooon knot?

-o

In SLG it was "Goggaw"

(_*_)

In SLG it was "Goggaw"

Apart from up there ^^^^.

A bunch of gawps (gorps) listening to the brains of the family, type of scenario comes to mind.

Hope that goes some way to explaining the resurrection.

You gorp....Gawp is to look at?

Can it not be a verb and an noun?
