Talking
Them Brits...

So I've found myself corresponding with this delightful (self-described) 'Yorkshire lass' and we just wound up a chat session. It went on for about 1-1/2 hours, and I got interested in the slang she was slingin'....

"It's not slang, it's DIALECT!" she retorted.

She was making sandwiches for the kids lunch tomorrow; wrote, "Cheese or ham?"

I wrote, "Cheese AND ham, said the wealthy Yank!"

She responded with something inappropriate (here) but it was freakin' funny.

Anyway, she responded to my inquiry about British slang (Me: Do you call sandwiches 'sarnies'? Her: I'm inclined to call them 'Butties'...Me: (Very inappropriate comment) Her: (Very inappropriate comment, plus funnier)

So she gives me this, says "figure this out"....

TYKE'S MOTTO:
Hear all, see all. say nowt.
Eat all, sup all, pay nowt.
An if iver tha does owt for nowt
allus do it for thisen!"


It totally defeated me. I wrote, **slack jawed**....

Oh, and notice, it's about 1:00 a.m. (or some crazy time like that) over there. So we needn't worry about our British TIMO-er friends catching onto this for about six hours, I reckon.

Hahaha, I know. She knows that it's most likely that we'll never meet in person.

But she's a randy wench, and funny as hell!

inappropriate comments FTW!

So, are we supposed to figure out what the hell that says, or means?

Okay, let's have some fun....

"Nowt" means "nothing"

"Owt" means "All".

(Get it? "Naught"=nothing..."owt"=its opposite)

And "thisen"=one's ownself. Say it out loud" "Thisen"...

"this one"..

HAHAHAHA, I loved it!

Hear all. See all. Say nothing
Eat all. Drink all. Pay nothing
And if ever that does nothing for nothing
at least do it for this.


BTW, that is just a complete guess based on what it sounds like..... I guess we shall see if that much was correct.

As for what it means, um..... steal food and pay if you have to? lol

BTW, I miss Yorkshire. And I met plenty of people there that spoke English that was harder to understand than Chinese...

Yeah, so true. I've been to Maui, Hawaii a bunch of times, and I like to frequent the places where the haoles (white tourists) don't go.

The natives speak a form of pidgin English that I can barely comprehend. But I like to work on it.

Example:

English: "Tell me about it".
Samoan/Hawaiian: "Talk story" (barked REALLY fast)

Fascinating!
