Classic! :D :thumbsup:

I'll just repeat it again here for the hard of hearing! ;) :D :thumbsup:

To enter, please say that you're in, and invent a new 'Yorkshire expression', and say what it means. The more ridiculous it sounds the better, but it has to make some sort of sense :confused: Everyone who enters get their name put in the hat, the best new Yorkshireisms get a bonus entry.

Some examples of the 'New Yorkshireisms'/latterly invented codswallop I'm looking for in the giveaway ;) :thumbsup:

Tha’t laid-up like a ferret dahn a rabbit oyl.

You look comfortable.

Tha kin lead a whipper t’watter, but tha can’t mek ‘im sup.

You can run a giveaway, but it doesn’t mean everyone will enter.

Like tekkin neeaves to Sheffield.

Like taking sand to the desert, pointless and unnecessary.

Red sky at neet, that’ll bi steel werks.

Black sky in a mooanin’, tha’t still in Sheffield.

Traditional weather forecasting may be a problem.

It went dahn like a cowd pint o’Stooanes.

It was well-received, like a cold pint of Stones bitter.

It were like a wet weekend in Rotherham.

It wasn’t very pleasant.

T’many gaffers, not enuf blokes on shop-flooar.

Too many chiefs, not enough Indians.

Tha looks as ‘appy as a brokken mangle.

You don’t look very pleased.

Thi gu t’gether like pie ‘n’ 'endersons.

They go together well.

Thaz sin nowt till tha’s sin coyl face!

You have not seen much in life.

A mayt as well ‘ave ‘ad a blue scarf on dahn Bramall Lane.

I was inappropriately dressed/I felt unwelcome.

Wi cud barely mek Wednesday ash.

It was the end of the week, and our finances were in a desperate situation.

A week from today, it will, of course, be the eve of Yorkshire Day! ;) The one day in the year when Yorkshire folks will talk about nothing else, but God's Own County :rolleyes: Since most Yorkshiremen are too tight-fisted to take a day off work, even for this sacred day, the fact that it falls on a Saturday this year, will no doubt enhance the usual celebrations :rolleyes: No doubt, if anyone can find a pub open, much ale will be supped! ;) :thumbsup:

As usual, I'd like to do a Yorkshire Day giveaway. It's open to anyone who has ever made a single post in this thread prior to this one. Yorkshire has many 'quaint', most would say 'totally incomprehensible' expressions, generally archaic. Examples are, "Put wood in oyl" (Please close the door), "Tha'd foller a muck cart 'n' think it were a weddin'!" (You look at life through rose-tinted spectacles), and "Weer thiz muck thiz brass" (Where there is dirt, or hard work, there is often money to be made) :rolleyes: To enter, please say that you're in, and invent a NEW 'Yorkshire expression', and say what it means. The more ridiculous it sounds the better, but it has to make some sort of sense :confused: Everyone who enters get their name put in the hat, the best new Yorkshireisms get a bonus entry.

I'll also be adding the names of those who were nominated for the giveaway I had to abandon due to lack of interest recently, and the names of those who nominated them (I have a full record, and if you were nominated more than once, your name will go in the hat that many times). When I say 'hat' I mean 'flat cap' of course. If you want to post anything else Yorkshire -related please feel free to do so.

I'll draw this on August 2nd or 3rd, depending on how much ale I sup on Yorkshire Day ;) Entries close at midnight (Yorkshire Time) on August 1st.

The prize will of course be a Lambsfoot. With many shops closed I may struggle to accumulate as much Yorkshire tat as in previous years, but I'll do my best, and your Lambsfoot, should you win, will not go out unaccompanied.

Good luck everyone :thumbsup:

Edit 25-7-20 Added some emphasis for the myopically challenged :rolleyes: Simple thing is READ THE $%£&*@# POST!!! :rolleyes:

Unique idea for a GAW, Jack. Count me in, I’ll give it a go! (I hope it’s ok if I try my hand at a few.)

‘E’s a bap short of a butty. (He’s not the smartest individual.)

Tha’s wobblin’ worse’n a Reliant Robin gu’n ‘round a cobbleston’ roun’about. (I believe you’ve had one pint too many, good sir.)

‘E kin mek a pint glass frim a pork pie. (He’s a fairly resourceful fellow, particularly when it comes to drink.)
