Things you say that nobody understands.

Everyone uses nowt (as in nothing) down here in Somerset - atleast around the part I live I hear it fairly often.

Whatever you do don't use "init" around where I live... it doesn't go down well.

"nowt"
"A'reet"
"oi mouth"

I also call everyone "love", and I often don't say "the" properly.

See that funny guy (name escapes me Michael something) talking about buying a ticket for "the lion the witch and the wardrobe".
 
What I've never understood is why Northerners Have Breakfast, Dinner and Tea...

IT'S ALL WRONG! - Say it properly, Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Bloody Northerners :p
 
I was in a cab in Plymouth and for the 15 minute journey NEITHER of us had a clue what each other was saying....

I dont even have a strong East end London accent compared to most
This guy was like "where you too then yarr" I think that was about the only thing i did understand.

Working off shore with Scots, ALL Scots - 100s of freaking Scots dribbling their stupid nonsense words. They thought i was Australian for a week cos of my accent?? Freaks.

drookit
eejit
dreich
laldy (as in "g'it laldy")
wabbit (NOT as in "rabbit" :rolleyes:)
ginger (as in "bat'l a ginger")

Most people from about here know all of these, people i speak to on the internet generally dont.
 
I've no idea if 'how do?' is local to stoke/staffordshire but I've certainly got a few "the hell you talking about" 's in vent. I really do try to make my accent a bit more shall we say, standard, but it's harder than you think!
 
Haha, I always say how do, if someone clicks what i mean they are always MEGA excited about it :/

It's just normal :( It's more like "ah doo"

This is one for people who have moved, and found a substantial amount of words they use aren't understood.

For example; "nowt". I never thought it could be hard to figure out, but nobody in the south gets it, and even some here in Liverpool. I'm from Cumbria by the way.

Anyone else constantly making people go huh?

What I say tends to depend on where I am. Having grown up in Essex, if I end up back down there I'll find myself saying safe, sound, bruv, etc. Now, living in Scotland, I say aye, wisnae and och far too much. None of them are unintelligible, really, just find it interesting how my speech changes to suit wherever I am.

However, I have never said either "och aye the noo" or "nice one innit bruv", as far as I know, I do have standards.

Derby words no-one seemed to get

Cob - a roll (sarnie)
Jitty - Alleyway

The word i was most shocked to find not all people knew down south was Mardy.

Having moved to south africa i have stopped using a lot of words because they just had no idea what i meant. I now speak a bastardised queens english and south african

they call traffic lights Robots here :(
 
Pea-wet makes me shudder, no-one around here has heard of it.

I told the footy lads the answer to the question 'what are parentheisis?' on a quiz machine and when I corrected the spelling and got the answer right, they all just stood there looking at me whilst their clock ran down.

Fickie ****ers!
 
Where i live everybody calls a bread roll a tea cake. Whenever i go anywhere and ask for a tea cake they look at me like Ive gone mad and then say "oh you mean" a bread roll, balm cake, muffin, bun etc etc.

Once went into a chippy and asked for chips and a tea cake and when i got home they had put a current bun in there :D. Tasted nice with chips on.
