Just a few odd words in Lancashire dialect for those interested - most of these I recognise from my younger days .
Many, will no doubt, be not in use now as we progress rapidly through our high tech age and speech is more and more standardised .
doowerstop - thick sandwich
entry - narrow passage between houses
feart - feared, frightened
haupney - halfpenny
jiggered - exhausted, not working ( broken )
mardy - spoilt child
no nouse - lacking in intelligence
nowt - nothing
owt - anything
So there you have it ..........
.
all these tha mention are much the same in yoksher dialect too - ah'm too jiggered in all this heat to add to t'list though.
