    OT: Notts city & county slang

    Collecting words and sayings that are uniquely Notts. Somebody on here used rammel (which I think means rubbish)
    Surry or serry for mate
    Anyone heard the phrase 'bug as London'?
    'kek de mosh' (a Newark term, I believe, which is rhyming slang for posh)
    Terms for ladies boobs? (Let's not go any lower on this one) or bloke's todgers.
    'Black over Bill's mother's.'

    Corsie for pavement, probably derived from causeway.

    not sure if these are Notts or midlands, but you don't seem to hear these in other places;

    tabs = ears
    cobs = rolls
    sweating cobs = sweating
    mardy = mardy
