Exploding Caeser dressing

Abbafan1972

Thanks. I usually shop at the Card Factory, as I find ASDA and Clintons etc overpriced. Although on my Mom's last birthday I got her a card from Funky Pigeon.

I live in Birmingham (born in West Bromwich) and I can never find cards with "Mom" on them at all.

I never use Mum, Mam, Ma or anything like that. It's Mom for me.

Words I cannot stand are Pack up (packed lunch), stairwell (staircase, stairway), chillaxing (mixture of relaxing and chilling, not even a word).

Here in Stoke our sandwiches are 'pieces' and if we are cold we are 'nesh'. It's not can't it's 'costner' and everyone is duck.

Some people get all the fun!

Where I live everyone talks like BBC newsreader.

Could never understand why people use mum as I always thought mom was short for mother, so figured the 'mo' bit made sense.
Especially as I always thought of a mummy as, well, a mummy (of the Egyptian variety)
It used to annoy me at secondary school when I used to get marked down on SPAG for using the word 'mom'. :P

Mom is just another horrible Americanism.

Have you actually read any of the thread? Mom was in use in local midland dialect before the founding Fathers hopped on a a boat in Boston

Try this one then...

'Ah do' - Hello
'Ay up Duck' - Hello there
'Ow at?' - How are you?
'At Owe rate/orate?' - Are you alright?
'Me owd' - My friend
'Mar mate' - My mate

Now try this conversation with your study partner
'Ah do, ow at, at owe rate?'
'Ar, arm orate me owd, at thay?'

(I had an excuse, there was no prior data in the thread. )

Letter recieved from Tesco today re "exploding dressing" - thier words not mine

£15 cash card as an apology - thank you Tesco - apparently it had fermented but cannot establish why.

Spent the £15 on paint for the ceiling in my kitchen and to replace all the cleaning stuff I used to clear up after the mishap :rotfl:

When I first moved up here and was called nesh cos I was cold I thought they were taking the pee. I also love the way I am called duck, duckie, shug, and chick. Although people look at me when I call them hon :rotfl:

I think the phrase that caught me out the most was I arn't, I was at work and a headmistress rang to speak to my boss, said she can call me back any time before 11 as I arn't teaching before then. I have caught the habit and my dad told me off for saying it :rotfl::rotfl:I'm 55 so was a bit shocked at being told off! After 8 years I no longer say I am making a cuppa, I say a brew and I also eat tea in the evening instead of dinner. I have dinner on my lunch break (am a bit confused as to where lunch went, think I maybe missing a meal)


Sorry to have hijacked your thread BonandDom - glad you got a result for the exploding dressing!

I used to live near to Stoke when I was younger and if we were going shopping out neighbour (a proper Stokie) would always ask "you off up 'Anley, duck?"

I do love a Staffordshire Oatcake when I can get hold of one too!

Glad to hear the case of the exploding dressing has been resolved - careful when you stir that paint can!
