'What about yee' Hello how are you from I saw you last.
My Fave northern saying is 'Wind yer neck in' and funnily have heard it said by tyrone folk?..is it a tyrone thing? I think its along the lines of 'behave yerself' or 'dont be cheeky'
same as we saying down here 'i'll soften yer cough'
i'd eat a knackers arse trough a torn bush-im starving
Well as far as i know "wind ur neck in" has been around as a saying in england for donkeys years, meaning much the same....behave urself, calm down....as a variation on the eating things thru things theme, Lilly Savage has a good one - I could eat a nuns arse thru the convent railings - which i'm very fond of:evil2:....the saying that is, tho i'm sure if i tried,....lol
