Product Information

Nowty meaning grumpy or grouchy,” added Northern Soul writer, Claire Fleetneedle. “And klempt meaning hungry. My favourite Northernism is ‘by the cringe!’ which my Grandma used to say instead of ‘bloody hell’.” Nothing to do with cauldrons or anything else witchy that the word ‘brew’ often brings to mind; this is just shorthand for a hot beverage. Similarly, the verb ‘brew up’ means “to make a tea/coffee”. Verb. 1. To travel at great speed. E.g."I caned it down the motorway and got there in record time."

To temporarily stay over or sleep at a place other than at one's own usual abode. E.g."Can I crash at yours tonight? It'll cost too much for a taxi home." These adjectives are dead commonly used round here. Proper is also used in the same way, but that’s common all over the North. Noun. A time of relaxation. E.g."Are we having a chill tonight? Watch some TV, drink a little wine, and go out clubbing tomorrow night?" This is used to soften the statement that follows it, which may be potentially insensitive or offensive.

L

Verb. To defecate. Defecate is infact a euphemism meaning to purify or cleanse. E.g."He crapped behind a tree and wiped his arse (anus) with a huge leaf." Phrs. To be disinclined or unwilling to make the effort to engage in something, can't be bothered. E.g."I can't be arsed with Christmas this year, I've got no money and I'm not drinking at the moment." See ' arsed'. Phrs. Very 'camp' (see above), or gay. E.g. "He was a camp as a row of pink tents and wouldn't have been out of place in a Mr Gay UK competition." Cf. 'camp as a row of tents'.

Noun. Flirtation, chatting up. E.g."I had a great night chirpsing the girls, and got the phone numbers of 3 gorgeous blondes and a brunette." [Orig. London use/Late 1990s] Sounds very Northern, and a bit like a pirate (also used in Manchester and Liverpool to mean “here you are”, e.g., when something is being passed to you). Use this at the beginning of a sentence. Noun. An impression of the female genitals/vulva as seen through tightly worn clothing. Also camel's toe and camel toes. Cf. 'camel's hoof'. [Orig U.S./poss. 1970s]A fool, an objectionable person, a despicable person. Derogatory and with its associated meanings is consequently particularly offensive. Verb. To chew, gnaw, nibble. E.g. "He kept chumbling on the cake until it had all gone, then he felt ill." [Dialect] Verb. To chat, to talk excessively. Possibly from 'chops' (noun), meaning mouth. E.g."We spent the night chopsing in the bar and didn't get to see the film." [Mainly Welsh use] This is mostly used to refer to your siblings but can also refer to a close friend or other family member (Mancs pronounce ‘our’ as ‘arr’).
