A Yorkshire A - Z of Dialect

A Yorkshire A - Z of Dialect

It's no secret that I love Yorkshire and seem to have dedicated my career to proving it.

This year we decided to launch a Yorkshire A-Z art print. I've seen plenty of 'Colours of Yorkshire', 'Pubs of Yorkshire' on prints etc etc, but I hadn't seen an A-Z. So, I set to and created one.

Any excuse to immerse myself in our glorious dialect...

Anyway, here is what I came up with...I hope you enjoy :-)

A - Ay up

B - Be reet

C - Chuffin'ell

D - Daft apeth

E - 'Ecky Thump

F - Frozzen

G - Gormless

H - Hell Fire

I - I'nnit

J - Jammy sod

K - Kin'ell

L - Lug'ole

M - Mardy

N - Nah then?

O - Ow do?

P - Parky

Q - Queer as folk

R - Ruddy nora

S - Shurrup moanin'

T - Toss pot

U - Ugly bugger

V - Vexed

W - Wassock

X - X marks t'spot!

Y - Young'un
