There are loads of dialect words in the English Midlands.

Shropshire is good for these.

"Buggy 'ell! I bost me yed!"

Translates to: "Bloody hell! I injured my head!"

Also, if you are left handed like me you are described as being "caggy 'onded."

And scrawp means scratch, as to scratch yourself. As in: "You were scrawping so much, I thought you must have fleas!"

And here's one for you to puzzle over

"Yo frit me to jeth!"

Have fun!
