OT: Notts city & county slang

[51Magpie]

When it was raining really hard, as in a cloudburst, my mother used to say it was 'siling down' (rhyming with filing). Anyone else heard that? She also used to tell me off for slorming if I was not sitting properly on the settee but draping myself across it (Sidders already reminded me of that one).

If I didn't take a warning seriously, the final warning was that I'd soon be laughing on the other side of my face. Never quite figured that one out...

Someone mentioned 'twitchel', for a little short-cut footpath. I also remember them being called ginnels (probably as a corruption of gunwales).

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.'

Lived in Newark 35 years and never heard 'kek de mosh'

What you may be thinking of is Keck ye Moy (Shut your mouth)
Keck=nothing
Moy=Mouth

Other Newark sspeak:
Geera=man/boy
Bewer=woman/girl
Tadsies=trouser
Tegs=teeth
Juckler=dog
Muscra= Policeman
Screeve/prostie=bike
Cory=pen1s


and many many more

It was a twitchell in Hertfordshire, so that's not Notts. My Grandma (gram-ma) always called it an entry. She wasn't actually from Nottingham, but she came during WWI to Hyson Green when she married my Grandad and put on a Nottingham accent to fit in, so she spoke better Nottingham than the locals. She also taught her parrot to speak in a Nottingham accent (kiss Moommy naht naht)

A pedestrian walkway between adjoining streets was always a jitty, wasn’t it?
