Re: Old local expressions
Anyone else used to say coaten or baulk to describe when someone was gipping (making throwing up noises etc)?

My wife uses coaten. She's from the North East. She never talks about farting or ****ting. She thinks that's a Lancastrian trait

Re: Old local expressions
It's still a popular saying. I tell the dentist that he is making me coaten when he tries to put the shield in my mouth to take an x ray.

Re: Old local expressions
Yep, it's one we used to say too -haven't heard it in ages though. When something made you feel like you wanted to be sick. There was a horrible smell on Frederick st. Ossy quite often from the mill -used to make you feel like that -don't know what it was but we all used to say it smelt like boiled oranges!
