In a bid to celebrate our area’s unique language, we’ve picked out some crackers below - with some suggestions from readers.
See if you know them all, and can you suggest any more?
5. Gee orr
This simply means "stop it" but often said with a more playful or inquisitive tone. Suggested by Ian Birkenhead Photo: Maksim Kostenko - stock.adobe.co
6. Our Peg
The missus, other half, girlfriend, wife etc - you get the picture. Often used in the sentence "have you seen our Peg?" Suggested by Clare Conlon Photo: stock
