Boro Lingo

A few of us put together a list of common Teeside / Durham words..

'haway' - a well used exclamation or expression of disbelief, 'no way!'
'messing on' - mucking around or messing about
'on my bil' - alone
'a knacking' - telling off (as in 'he deserves a good knacking!')
'get wrong' - be in trouble (as in 'i got wrong off me mam')
'wouldn't dare' - as good as telling you to 'get lost' ('Break detention? Wouldn't dare!') - often mimicked by teachers!
'on a morning/evening/daytime' - instead of 'in the mornings' (used to express a repeated event..as in 'what do you do on an evening?')
'shan' - unfair
'wrecked' - upset / told off
'lend' - borrow. Borrow/lend is usually back-to-front (as in 'miss, can i lend a pen')

Hmmm.. I've adopted a few of these without realising (although i generally only use them in a Middlesbrough environment!).

Feel free to add any others I've missed!
