Regional sayings!!!
Being a Northern monkey we have plenty of sayings up here and it got me thinking.
What regional sayings do you have in your neck of the woods?
My GF lives darn sarf (Brighton) and i told her 'Oh dont be so Mard' as in mard a**e, she was like 'what you on about' and she said she had never ever heard the word 'Mard'
some people also say 'Put th'wood in 'ole' i.e. shut the door.
and as for put big light on - well i can remember my grandparents saying that.

I moved to the SOuth Coast from London a couple of years ago. Shortly after moving down here I heard someone refer to norks as "chest bollocks".
I have no idea if it's regional, but I never thought I would hear a phrase that would actually make me not want to play with someones boobies.

If you lose your footing while walking along a country road over here you may end up "Up te yer oxters in a shiuch" If you accused someone of tripping you they might proclaim "It wuznae me at dunnit"

I was born in bred in S Wales, I reckon together with Northerners we are the king's of stupid saying, the following spring to mind:
Whose coat is that jacket?
Over by there (actually means over there)
wasps are called Jaspers
The list goes on

Jaspers? That's ridiculous.
I mean "Jaspers" summon up images of an insect that is the cheeky, yet lovable scamp of the insect world. Not the malicious stinging machines they actually are.
I would sugges tto you local community that you think of a term to replace "Jaspers" with. Like "C*ntbubbles" or "F*ckflaps" or "Stingingf*cking b*stards"
Something along those lines.
Fvcking Japsers, I ask you.

Yep, we had Jaspers in South Devon too
We also had an influx of grockles in the summer.
Around Bristol one of the favourite sayings is "Gert lush!" - but then there are quite a few wierd people around here......
One of the ones I remember from the Midlands is being greeted by "Alright me duck?"
