Before I dash off, I was wondering about different ways of talking, and figures of speech. I'm from the UK, so we have quite a few odd phrases being bandied about day to day (not that I know most of them!), and I was wondering what all of you out there in JU land have as your weird and wonderful day to day phrases! You might use them daily and not worry, but have a think about them - would they sounds downright freaky to someone not from "around here"?!
Example from Devon, UK: "Where's he to?" or "Where's that {insert item here} to?" meaning where is it?
Also, widely used, is the term of endearment "My lover". Just a friendly gesture here in the SouthWest UK, but to others, who knows?!
So, go on, have a think... what makes up your dialect? What weird sayings to you use? Spill all here!
