SoX · Post by **SoX** » 2003-09-30 09:31am

"Mithering/Moidering"

"Give-Over"

"Giddy"

Rye help me out, there must be more.

Mither- To whine?
Moidering- what a guy in New Joisey does to someone he doesn't like (Murder)

SoX wrote:"Give-Over"

1. give-over-puff, puff pass.
2. To, by way of 4 downs, an interception, or a fumble, allow an opposing team to obtain posession of the ball. Facilitating the ability to bring onto the field your defense, so that they may commence moidering the opposing quarterback.

SoX wrote:"Giddy"

What stupid high-school kids do when they get new boyfriends/girlfriends.
eg. When Koji found out Ben Affleck was both gay and had a crush on him, He was fucking Giddy.

you a northerner?

that is hardly ever used in the south

oooo 2 out of 3,,,, looks like Give-Over means summat different here...

Mithering and Moidering are the same its just in Wigan they say Moidering coz they're strange. but i could not find Mither in the Oxford English dictionary,,so apparently it isnt a word.

How about: "and Bob's you uncle"

If your from the north or the midlands you would probably look pretty confused if i pointed at someone and called them a Pikey. for some reason it has a completely different meaning here to the rest of the country.

Scottish, cant remember where abouts, rough translation, 'stop it', can be safely used in a camp or non-camp manner.

Without looking at the following answers:

Mithering/Moidering: Whining, Bitching?

Give-Over: Quit, Give up?

Giddy: Happy?

EDIT:
After looking at the posts above answering the question, I find that yes, the meanings in rural Appalchia have remained the same.

Now, here's some for ya'll:

Reckon
Directly
Yonder

"There you go." There's a better translation, but I can't think of one right now.

Ya'll sound like a valley dweller and a mountaineer. One thinks 'up there' means north of them, while the mountaineer knows 'up there' is either up the river or up the mountain.

Surely reckon and directly aren't uncommon? Yonder, I can understand, mainly being an 'olde' or 'yokel' style of word

Yes, up in the hollers all three are still used.

Rye · Post by **Rye** » 2003-09-30 04:05pm

I always say "well" or "proper" in substitute for "very".

For instance "That's well cool."

"That's proper cool"

"Proper bo selecta"

Some Dane-isms:

"Are you yanking my chain?"
"You shit-shit"
"You know where it's at"
"Aw, you're ruining my life"

Clarkie-isms:
"I think that's so good ill spaf everywhere"
"my pc is WANKERED"

Other-isms: "Oh nyo!"
"dilliest" = silliest
