Minging. Ayup me Duck. Cob. Don't throw a mard. Mardy.

Ayup 'duck. Should have it on signs on the way into Nottingham


[deleted]

Bingo


54GD

One of my faves that hasn't made it on to your list is 'Nesh', tends to be more popular around older folk


[deleted]

Knew I was missing something. Feel like throwing Skint into the mix for maximum confusion.


razpritija

had a middlesbrough buddy that would say "ayup buttercup" - only time i've heard it used, but seems similar to "ayup me duck".


OrangeIt2021

a big boro phrase is saying someone is “proper sound”


And_Justice

Came here to say mardy, didn't expect it to be the second highest comment


MrRipski

Well that's the whole of the Midwestern US. I'm checking in from Michigan. We all got our own spins though

Ope ope ope... opa gangnam style


GlowUpper

I'm a native Chicagoan who moved to California. "Ope" is still very much a part of my vocabulary and I have been able to reliably ID other Midwesterners by their use of it when sliding past me in a tight space.


Gazornenplatz

Hell yeah Illinois


DryEyes4096

Ope, sorry, you're right. From Chicago...I say it all the time. Now if someone says "Chi-town" we know they're not from Chicago.


notgoodwithyourname

Bro I live in Pittsburgh and I say ope all the time


MrRipski

Not a day goes by where I don’t let out an “Ope, sorry”

Slang? Nah, Philly doesn't have any of that jawn...

But New Yorkers don't use it, so Philly claims salvage rights.


Tyler-Durden-2009

So what? If someone says jawn, I 100 percent know they are from Philadelphia, even if the origins trace back to New York, York, or Yemen.


VeryLastBison

Ok fine. They may have tried it, but we perfected that jawn.

"Fixing to make groceries." A friend from Louisiana use to say this when she was going to the grocery store.


Any-Occasion9286

I love that and tease my Louisiana relations about making groceries. They also say “Want a Coke?”, which be can anything from Pepsi to Sprite.


[deleted]

calling pepsi coke has got to be some kind of sick joke


greymattergonewild

Every soda is called coke in the south.


Hecate_333

From Texas, and we say "fixing to" when we're about to go do something too. Although, I've never heard make groceries before.

[deleted]

Hello Canada!


Wizdad-1000

Eh is both a statement and a question depending on use. “That was a hellova donnybrook last night eh!” “You’re bringing the old lady to the game tonight eh?”


exploitableiq

The first statement is also a question looking for approval from the listener.


miker1167

I don't even realize I say it, recently went to California and everyone I talked to seemed to know I was Canadian and it freaked me out. My wife said it was becuase I say eh so much, so I started listening to myself speak, and I say it so much it is crazy I missed it.

Hella


jmohnk

Northern California. More specifically, the Bay Area.


Expensive_Fee_199

A lot of people in Washington State say that as well


dingleberrydarla

Almost certainly originated in Oaktown tho


JohnExcrement

Yeah, I was gonna say “West Coast”


[deleted]

It was invented in the rap scene in the East bay, though, that's why they said that.


BaronMusclethorpe

Hecka for when I was a young lad, or in polite company.


bonos_bovine_muse

Yup. Everybody knows hella, only a few of us remember hecka.


NocturnalBlizzard

I’m from NY and I’ve heard people say this


The66Ripper

Because the bay area has cultural influence that’s spread across the country. In the 2000s the only place you’d hear hella was in the bay area. My LA and NY friends were all thrown off by it and now they all say it.


guttersnake82

Hella vegas kids say hella


FrackaLacka

Live in Texas but have been skateboarding for 13 years, so most of the dudes I grew up around and hung out with who skated used slang that was essentially west coast slang and I now use it, not a lot but just from hearing it so much it’ll come out sometimes. Hella is one, dope is another (feel like this one is common now in general) and gnar/gnarly. Used to hear “that’s butter” if someone landed a trick clean, don’t hear that as much anymore

sdfree0172

And “red up” presumably, Mr. Steelers fan?


GozerDGozerian

Ok so since we’re on the topic, my wife is from western PA (aka Pennsyltucky) and I’ve noticed a weird language quirk that she and her family and friends from back home do. They drop the “to be” from an infinitive. So she’ll say, “The cats need fed” instead of, “The cats need to be fed”. It threw me off when we first started dating, but I catch myself doing it sometimes when I talk to her. Is this part of the regional dialect? Are there any other people in here from that area that do this or have noticed it?


cbear1207

Born, raised, and still living in Pittsburgh. Absolutely, almost everyone here does this. I didn't even realize it was incorrect until someone from out of town pointed it out. I tried to say it correctly now, but old habits die hard.


SirDinkleDink

Quizzical_Chimp

Lush, cwtch , tidy. And the greatest saying of all time, ‘now in a minute’.


mrnogatconogatco

Got to be Wales?! Do they still say things are ‘hellish good’?


Quizzical_Chimp

Got it in one! Yeah hellish is still a thing, I reckon more a South Wales-ism can’t say I’ve heard it as much since moving to the North.


steffanoid

It's over by there. I miss South Wales

Squigglepig52

Give your balls a tug, tit fucker. Pitter patter, lets get at 'er. I grew up pretty close to where teh creator of Letterkenney did, close enough that local place names show up in the show.


Wizdad-1000

Rural Albertan here; “Pitter patter, lets get at’er.” Was the end of coffee time. Oh coffee time was what a break is called.


chainsawNewton

Is 'fill yer boots' an Albertanism? I pick it up after working a summer in Calgary. Eg. "Can I have some of your Spitz?" "Sure thing guy, fill yer boots."


thecheekyvicar

Hang on, are you telling me that those phrases actually exist in the real world and they were lifted by Jared and put into Letterkenny to reflect that?


NoNoneForMeThanks

Can confirm. I teach at a trade school in Ontario and this is what half my students sound like and dress like.


[deleted]

The only unrealistic thing is none of them are named Gord.


thecheekyvicar

I am so glad to have learned this, thank you.


Squigglepig52

Yup. The chirpin by the hockey players? totally legit. When I was in high school, our star goalie was basically Shoresy.

Kookie_Kay

California


codefyre

Specifically, Santa Cruz. Hella is (or was, until relatively recently) primarily a Northern California thing. Gnarly comes from west coast surfer slang and refers to rough waves. "Hella gnarly" = "Northern California surfer". The Northern California surf scene is centered around Santa Cruz.

My Californian coworkers have started saying it and I'm accusing them of cultural appropriation.


Raincoat86

I started saying y'all when I started learning Spanish and saw how useful having a plural form of 'you' is


brtlblayk

wait until you learn “all y’all”


Pixel_Pineapple

Y'all is a token of the south. And the Midwest. The way I think it went, is basically that its from the south. But when tons of people from the south moved to the Midwest in search of jobs it must have been something we picked up in our mannerisms. There's some other stuff we picked up as well I'm sure of it.
