Terms of endearment

16 Jul 2004

Since I have travelled a bit (not a lot, just a bit) I have been called a few things that make me laugh.
Scotland-Hen
NorthEast-Chicken
EastMids-Duck
All seem to be bird related. What are the common names for where you come from?

Quine - from the Doric dialect (used in the North East of Scotland), meaning 'young woman' or 'daughter'.

So if you said "I want to shag your Quine" you'd probably end up in a Wicker Man? biggrin

My mum's a Derbyshire Lass born and bred she uses Chuck, Chicken, Pigeon!!!!!
I use Darling or sweetheart a lot.
The only people I've ever heard use Duck are those from Yorks or who have moved into the area.

Someone called me a div the other day. Apparently it's a term of endearment in the north. Down here it means you're a bit dumb :shock:

16 Jul 2004

Yeah Div is defo a harsh term of endearment.
In the mids, its usually mate or Boss.
For the ladies, flower, petel, canderal (or is that just me-jee im such a dickhead)
Deadwood is also a up and coming term, usually implied to someone junior to yourself for example
"Oi, deadwood, did you get the sambo's?"
" Yeah!"
" i ordered on brown.......bloody deadwood"

People often call me Sarge as a term of endearment !!
WBB uses "Bilko" as her way of being nice to me!!!

Mr novice was doing a course in Somerset a few years back, staying in a local pub that did B+B and was stunned to find that the local term of greeting was......
"alright you fucking twat" :shock: :shock: (Better said in a Somerset twang) wink

By the way a div is a scouse term for someone that is a friggin' idiot!!! lol

:lol: :lol:

No down south it means
Devine Intimate Virtuoso = DIV be proud and say thanks and smile :lol: :lol: :lol:

I will look differently on the lady in question now... puffs out chest and licks lips :twisted:
Gilbert :shock:

16 Jul 2004

I know it sounds a bit twee, but I remember calling an ex of mine "sweetpea".
Awww. How cute. (!) rolleyes

I also remember calling her "CuteButt" in the early days of our relationship (and later), especially as a greeting at the start of text messages.
I have a mate who keeps addressing his e-mails to me with "Oi, you useless goodfornothing twat" (Charming!) I have to keep reminding him that it's now "Dr. Oi you useless goodfornothing twat" wink

...and I'll remember Corrie's post next time someone calls me a Div! (you listening, Red...?! :wink: )

Somerset: "My Lover"
Honestly, since moving here, I've become so many people's lover, it's potentially exhausting! Walk into the local pub, and you're greeted with a chorus of, "Alright, my lover?" Took a little getting used to.
However, I have to admit that my favourite Somerset phrase is: "'e makes I larf!!" lol

21 Jul 2004

I can do a wicked Somerset accent. Unfortunately it comes in the form of a slightly offensive ditty. I recited it to a Taxi Driver from there..................
He was NOT happy.
*think Venus, THINK! :doh:

Now this brings back wonderful memories due to my training long ago at Weston-Super-Mud
