Kens missus used to crack up if anyone said 'Carpet'! Caaa pitt!
and the universal greeting of 'Hiya Butt' usually flummoxes the English - they get the Hiya part - and then ask 'But what?' Butt is just the shortening of Butty, NOT a sandwich - its a mate or friend!
Reminds me - (sorry, short detour down Memory Lane again), during Miners fortnight (holiday, last week of July, first week of August, if you went to Porthcawl - your OH, Dad, Male relatives would see so many people they knew from work, that we called it 'HiyaButt Bay'!0 -

Now i live in the west midlands my favourite phrases are

my personal favourite bit of Valleys is 'I'll do it now, after'. Simply means - I will do it as soon as possible, but, i've got something else to do first!
this a gem too: On enquiring about someones health you may be told...'Oh he/she is bad in bed, under the doctor'.
bad (baarrd - Ill) 'under the doctor' means that they were ill enough to consult the doctor! NO impropriety! lol cracks me up though!0 -
