As my granny used to say.....

Stank is a drain, from Old French, estanc for a pond or lake

Ashet, I know from ashet pie, is a large dish, from the French for plate, assiette.

Gigot (not Jigot) is a leg of mutton or lamb, taken directly from the French

To this day, I call those Vicks inhaler sticks "mentholatum," as that is how my grandfather (1917-1993) always referred to them.

Beelin' = angry, furious

"Ah'm beelin' Scotland were in Pot 2 in the Euro draw and still ended up gettin' the same sides they aye get".

Aye = always

Fuck it, it's refusing to work.

'Aye...funny man, d'y think his heid zips up the back...?' (told to a young me, in reference to my Grandad)

“if it’s me on bongos and Mark E Smith, then it’s The Fall”

My old nan was from Wakefield. She'd mostly lost her accent by the end of her life but never sounded so Yorkshire as when she used her catchphrase: 's/he's short of nowt he's got'.

my grandma was kind of a self hating cockney who took elocution lessons and alcohol would change her accent and manner entirely (in a good and fun way most of the time)

keeker = black eye

Which, of course, is derived from one of my favourite Scots words.

Couthy continuity announcer on Channel 4 has just used this phrase.

fellas I’ve had a good run but I think I’ve finally had the radish

I heard a Northern Irishman use 'up tae high do' a few years ago, interesting that it had legs, and I always wondered if it was related to 'do, re, mi, fa, so, la, ti, do'

My sister just sent a message to say she's got some terrible cleg bites on her leg.

cleg: another term for horsefly

Mercy, that's one I haven't heard in yonks
