Am I out of date or a trendsetter?

[northernladuk]

DM (sorry) has an article on out-dated slang words that people want to bring back. Oddly enough nearly all of these are part of my normally vocab but I'd have put most of them down as standard Yorkshire speak rather than outdated slang. Guess it depends where in the country you are. Must admit three stand out though. Bruv, Innit and Peng can go burn in the fires of hell for me.

On the flip side I also use a couple in the list further down the article that people want to get rid of but I do agree I'd be happy for all of them to disappear, except maybe chippy.

These lists ring true with any of you posh southern matey peeps?

Good list that. Said toodle-pip to someone only last week.

Didn't know any of it was out of date as DM suggests. I use most of the ones on your list regularly and as I say, thought it was a Yorkshire thing rather than country wide slang.

Of NLUK's list, I commonly say 1, 5 and 15. I did actually say #6 in the past couple of weeks but it's not a regular phrase.

I say 'blimey' or 'crikey' a lot as I'm trying to swear less

There's quite a lot on Vetran's list that I say on a regular basis but I can't be arsed to list them all.

Innit & Bruv seem endemic locally

Nowt is most definitely Northern IMHO.

I don't consider myself as one of "posh southern matey peeps" although living down south and hear those very often, so no idea who the hell thinks these need to be brought back? I use most of them as well even though I'm not a native Brit, but probably picked up a lot of them whilst working in the Midlands years ago. Also always linked innit / bruv with London.

I use maybe nine or ten of them from time to time. "Chockablock" is one I picked up as a kid in Liverpool from my great uncle George, who was in the Royal Navy during the war - it's old sailors' slang dating back to at least the first half of the nineteenth century and probably earlier, relating to a sailing vessel's hoisting tackle being drawn as far as it can go

Posh southerner here, innit? Probably use about seven of those every now and then. Wouldn't be seen dead saying "nowt", obviously.

1 and 15 used regularly

Where is 'tits up'. As in the contractor market has gone 'tits up'
