Re: Come again ? or what does that mean !
Moidered...(as in give o'er moidering me)is another version of mithered......and Oined means badly treated(as in 'tha looks oined')...well, those are the meanings where I come from...they may have other meanings in other localities...or there may even be other words for them.

Re: Come again ? or what does that mean !
gormless is 'simple' 'dim' 'thoughtless' a 'ponheyd'...which although never explained to me i took it to mean no more sense than a saucepan.
This thread could run and run

My gran used to call me Fanackapan, which I've just seen is a term of endearment, and I always though meant little sod.
