Any1 know what a 'ginnel' might be ?

'troshle' any1 ?

Alley-way ?



I know that in England a swede is an orange, round vegetable but in Scotland they are called turnips: down here turnips are a different root veg altogether!

Haven't heard of a troshie but here in the NW a ginnwl is an alleyway between back to back terraces. Suedes and turnips are different root vegetables, not different names for the same thing. They both taste

Turnips are neaps 
You don't want to start with the aberdonian language
Drookit- wet
Feert- scared
Gypit (the "g" sounding as g for goat) - stupid
Fits a dee- what's wrong
Different language

I suspect that every area has its 'common' language because people didn't travel as often or as far unless droving from Wales or driving geese from Nottinghamshire.

Gully - ravine
Cob - annoyed (got a cob on) - scouse.
- small hairy horse whose main aim in life is to lean on your fences until they break (never again...)
- middle bit of maize, corn on the cob
- round lump of coal
