We have various lovely terms here from the humble toilet and WC to others such as loo, lavvy, bog and the most fragrant term of all......The Cludgie.
Back in the middle ages in Edinburgh when folks still used a chamber pot they would empty it by tipping it out the window after first shouting a warning "gird eloo" which meant watch out below. If you heard that you didn't stop to look up to see who was shouting
And you sure wouldn't open your mouth if you did look up.
bleearchhh! That's too horrible to even think about lol
For the babies we call the restroom the "potty". I had a friend that called it the Loo...she was an Air Force brat so I'm sure they had a tour of duty in your part of the world.
Are you yorkshire or suffolk or just very good with dialects?? Your examples are superb.My attempts are based on geordie though I'm not one.
Live in Suffolk. Born and bred Yorkshire. I loev dialect, but I struggle to include it in my day to day speech. I have a book called 'Basic Broad Yorkshire'- a proper language primer, and also several other dialect books, including 'Ee by gum, Lord!' Bible stories in Yorkshire dialect.
What do you call a restroom?
great thread
thankyou, but how about sharing some of your own examples now
I hope everyone had a truly joyous Christmas and didn't overdo the "celebrations" and end up getting blootered and wanting to ha'e a rammy with their nearest and dearest!
We've got the buildup now to the Bells in Edinburgh for Hogmanay and I can't wait. Oot wie the auld and in wie the new!
(attempts at translations welcome)
Happy New Year FifeWe need some more dialects here fife. Im sure they are out there somewhere
I live in the low country, and there is a Gullah Geechee Culture .
I have only lived here2 1/2 years.
In Gullah one word can express several thoughts. Ex. e- he, she or it and shum - see, saw, hi, her, it or them.
Its really nice here, not so much hustle and bustle, really laid back.......like me
When someone does something bad to someone else, that person could say "you really threw me under the bus." I love that one.
