In a bid to celebrate our area’s unique language, we’ve picked out some crackers below - with some suggestions from readers.
See if you know them all, and can you suggest any more?
9. Walking down the ginnel
Suggested by Sandra Welsby this means to amble through the alleyway between two houses - a ginnel Photo: NW
10. Put wood int thole
Another classic, this one suggested by Katie Barton, which of course means "shut the door!" Photo: stock
11. Get me a babbies yed
Presumably because of its resemblance to a baby's bonce, a steak and kidney pudding is referred to, as suggested by Walter Turnbull, as a babbies yed Photo: Martin Lee
12. It only happens every Preston Guild
The last Preston Guild fair was held in 2012 and the next one is due in 2032, so this is a reference to something not happening very often! Suggested by Elaine Gornall Photo: NW
