Re: lost dialect
If someone was talking rubbish, my auntie would say "It's all my eye and Betty Martin", and if someone was in trouble, he would be "In Dicky's meadow" - don't know why, but my auntie Lily was rather strange, she always wore a wrap-around apron which she called a brat and wore a hat all the time, in the house or when sand-stoning the steps. She thought the neighbours were common because they used white sandstone whereas she used cream.

Re: lost dialect
Just a variation to your posts
My misspent youth had been up Theelite in st james st and I never ever thought about it for many years until vauxhall brought out the model Elite at which time I pondered and realised that it had been the Eleet where my misspent youth had been, now can you believe that??

Re: lost dialect
Slopstone, yes! What about being hungry, or in dialect 'clemmed'. One watered the household plants with a 'degging can' to 'slather' the plants 'wi' watter'. My great-aunt always used to say that she 'were fain to see me'. My dad had an expression (possibly from Chorley where he was born) which referred to anyone doing something totally aimless as being 'up and down like cheese at fourpence'. There must be others which will come to mind, but I shall need to trawl through my memory for those!
