peakyblinder old hand Rank: Chinny	Brummie sayings replied on: 3/19/2004 11:55:45 PM quote: And what about "Ooh, I'm over". Or is that just me when I'm pissed? How about 'cunted' for pissed?
rotunda pants villa, but nice with it Rank: Ozzy	Brummie sayings replied on: 3/21/2004 11:15:23 AM What about "trap", meaning to go. As in "Let's trap" or " I'm trapping now". And of course, "cut", meaning "canal".
DrVeraJenkins old dear Rank: Jasper	Brummie sayings replied on: 3/21/2004 10:48:44 PM "Alrooight are yer bab?" Followed by "ahhh" I was told by a woman once when she first came to Brum she was visiting some Brummies and the mother of the family kept saying "Our babby's late in. I wonder where our babby is till this time?" Thinking she was referring to a little boy, my friend sympathised with the other woman's anxiety about the babby being out so late. Suddenly a big six foot geezer of about 30 walks in and the mother says, "oh look, here's the babby".
liquorlicence likes beer and blues Rank: Chinny	Brummie sayings replied on: 3/23/2004 1:52:47 PM How about 'cunted' for pissed? And how about "wankered"?

miskinman	Brummie sayings replied on: 11/20/2004 10:23:52 AM My Nan's favourite saying was "are ya torkin to me or chewin a brick?" and she also used to say about my uncle, who had a rather affected accent "he torks like he's gorra quid in iz gob" I'm told that these are good Brummy sayings As for "cunted" and "Wankered" I live in the South West and all the Local Daves use those words, so I think they are not exclusively Brummy. I think the Brummy word for pissed is "Kaylied"
Villabird This message was updated on 11/23/2004 7:53:51 AM by Villabird	Brummie sayings replied on: 11/22/2004 8:19:21 PM "ISLAND" is Brummie for roundabout. I used to live just outside London and took great delight in using the word "island" when giving people directions. They didn't have a clue what I meant, but being Cock-er-neys, were too proud to ask!!! Other words that I've discovered on my travels are just Brummie-isms are: POP for a soft drink of any description, except fresh fruit juice. OUTDOOR for the offie. FAIR PLAY as in, well done or I don't blame you, etc. BAB a term of endearment. R as in yes, that's right (not sure of correct spelling, could be AH, AHH or ARE?). BOSTIN, fantastic, great, etc. Although this could originally be from Black Country? Also, putting a "Z" on the end of peoples' names, such as Daz (Darren), Gaz (Gary), Baz (Barry), Kaz (Karen)etc, etc.
KingoftheHeath Rank: Jasper	Brummie sayings replied on: 11/23/2004 9:41:20 AM 'O R' is quite de rigeur in certain circles, as in 'O R Angry Andy', 'O R Manhole', 'O R Wazzy', 'O R Justin', etc etc...
500ARIEL Rank: Toyah	Brummie sayings replied on: 11/23/2004 5:53:26 PM O R is used to confirm something. "did you hear me?" "O R, I heard you"
falsedog Rank: Jasper	Brummie sayings replied on: 11/23/2004 10:51:55 PM Trans.: "Ah, yes."
queensport	Brummie sayings replied on: 11/24/2004 8:23:10 PM me moms asking where i bin 'i bin up the cut' or she telling me to 'shut me trap'
Russ-L Rank: Jasper	Brummie sayings replied on: 11/28/2004 2:21:32 PM Since you seem to be referencing black country expressions as well as brummie ones, we have to mention the priceless "Ar wudden do that, not for a gold pig."
peakyblinder old hand Rank: Chinny	Brummie sayings replied on: 11/29/2004 9:38:57 PM Our old mon allus used ter say on us: "Get da ****outta my house 'fore I whup yo' lily-white ass, muthafucka." Brummagem born and bred.

On a similar note, the battlecry we employ to instantly bring down to size anyone being needlessly aquisitive: "Worr else d'yow want - jam on it?"
pennellier	Brummie sayings replied on: 12/20/2004 8:44:19 PM I was interested to see your user name - Peaky Blinder, my dad told me once about a gang who used to hang around where he lived, in Summer Lane, - they used to put razor blades in their peak caps I think, and I'm sure they were called peaky blinders. I'd be interested if you had any more details about them. I'll add some of dads old brummie sayings as I think of them, - such as, when he had a good pint of beer, he'd call it "lovely larrup", god knows what that meant.
