| liquorlicence likes beer and blues Rank: Chinny | Brummie sayings posted on: 3/9/2004 5:13:12 PM "Got a face as long as Livery Street that one". "Couldn't stop a pig in an entry" And my mum, for some reason, instead of saying "certificate" says "sustificate" What's with that then? Anymore? I apologise if this thread has been done before btw. |

replied on: 3/9/2004 7:03:59 PM "Round the Wrekin" ie., the long way round. Means less and less the closer to the Wrekin it is said. At some point quite near the Wrekin it might even mean "Oh, good, it's only round the Wrekin. We can walk it!". Saying "Brought" when you mean bought. This may be more Yam Yam than Brummie... |

replied on: 3/10/2004 9:51:07 AM "Outdoor" meaning off-licence. I don't think it's used in that sense anywhere else in the country. "Chelmsley Wood Foreplay"= Spousal battery. |

replied on: 3/11/2004 2:18:32 PM It is, according to my better half (from North Wales), a parculiarily Brummie thing to do to call a roundabout an 'island' - no matter what its size. Also, use of the word 'yampi' caused great ammusement. |

Ded Yampy...
replied on: 3/11/2004 4:44:36 PM There was a very amusing fanzine (unfortunately from the wilds of Coventry) back in 1981 called 'Ded Yampy' which was written from the point of view of a hard working man who likes, football, beer, furry dice, sun strips and free 'n' easy nights at the local... It mutated into a band for a time too... |
