Default Re: Local dialect

oh blimey. we have pile of here cus we are strange..

off the top of my head.

we say

alright yessir (pronounced yisir) which is basically hello
we also have
alright shag (pronounced shaaaaaaaaaaaaag) which is the same

we say ginnies for stinging nettles. so for example I would say something like "OWWWW the f**king ginnies got me"

oh we say Long tail instead of R.A.T cus its extreme bad luck to say R.A.T. If someone says it you have to Whistle then spit.

hmmm ive just read that stuff back..... OMG us Manxies are wierd..
