ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying this Yorkshire Translator.
ReplyDeleteWhat an accurate and very fabulous site that 'Yorkshire translator' is.
ReplyDeleteI typed in a sentence containing the word 'Lancashire' which it translated as 'God's own country'.
Well - who watches Emmerdale?
I watch Emmerdale.
ReplyDeleteWe live about 15 minutes away from it!
My grandfather on my Dad's side was from Yorkshire - still we all have skelitons in the cupboard.
ReplyDeletePiggy: Emmerdale's not real you know. It's fiction.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to reclaim "sling yer 'ook" for the cockneys.
ReplyDelete("Fuck 'orf" in the Queen's English).
I agree geoff. If it was Yorkshire then it'd be "sling yer 'oooooook"
ReplyDeleteEmmerdale's fictional?
ReplyDeletePlease don't tell me Coronation Street's fictional too.
And I understood that bit about "theur lazy canuk" you cunt Connie.
Has anyone typed "cunt" into the translator yet?
I did. It came back with "Theur mean 'a' fa' clart noggin Piggy wi' t' tapeworm?"
ReplyDeleteMost Yorkshireman can actually speak intelligible English, and will if you train them properly. If they are aggravating you, ask them for some money. That will shut the fuckers up.
ReplyDeleteOoh fun with languages..Yippee!
ReplyDeleteAs my Oma would have said..
Danke, das zweisprachig klasse war sehr gut.(Thanks, the bilingual class was good)
Might I remind you ms polyglot, being a role model and all, that here in Canuckistan you are only allowed to teach in either 'BBC Proper' Anglische or in French (the language of lurrve)....
except of course dans la belle Quebec which is uniquely unilingual)so...
Est-ce que vous êtes ivre?
(are you drunk?)
or as you'd say in your fancy schmancy Yorkshirian slang,
A’ve y' supped sum stuff toneet?
Thy orl eur bunch o' cunts.
ReplyDeleteExactly!
"Sling your hook"... Yorkshire origins or Cockney?
ReplyDeleteI'm coming up with conflicting information on this one.
Gran' 'eavens! ah dooant understan' enny o' theur vile northerners.
ReplyDeleteEmmerdale is a real place, not fictional.
ReplyDelete'Real' as in The Woolpack Inn and the place where it's filmed.
'Emmerdale' is a fictional title, but the place itself exists.
Corrie, on the other hand is a pile of crap fiction.
Oh and in real life, 'Emmerdale' isn't called 'Emmerdale'.
ReplyDeleteIt's real name is 'Otley'
*looks all smug now*
Emmerdale was actually filmed originally in a place called Esholt.
ReplyDeleteThis is where the 'original' Woolpack Inn is located.
*looks even smugger*
But I have a photo of Frobi in front of Jack and Vera Duckworth's house!
ReplyDeleteThink on't, lass, what's Emmerdale when's 't at home? Is't summat on t'gogglebox?
ReplyDeleteLike them cushats sing in t'oak be Smeeley's Yard:
There's nowt on TV
There's nowt on TV
There's nowt on TV
-- Nowt.
By gum, me word verification, like, is:

ReplyDeleteWARMI: Barnsley? It's full of Charvers, in't it?
ReplyDeleteTONY: Oinks? Are you refering to those dozy twonks Piggy and Tazzy?
Steady On My Dear! An Englishman Never Tells.Tally-Ho.But, you know, those people from Barnsley are frightfully common.The Lower Classes can sometimes be frightfully uncouth.
ReplyDeleteAh, but I'm not from Yorkshire, you scamp!
ReplyDeleteBeing a cute wee Highland boy, I'm frightfully posh.
in which case ,your A Good Egg.My apologies Old Boy.One Cant Be Too Careful These Days.Toodle-Pip Thow'Nose........(opps what a givaway!)
ReplyDeleteI wondered when Piggy would play the Highland card.
ReplyDeleteOooa! ah love translators! dis is almost li' bein on drugs, except 1. not fun, 'n 2. all t' rectal bleedin.
ReplyDelete"I wondered when Piggy would play the Highland card."
ReplyDeleteAny time som fucktard makes the mistake of referring to me as English, let alone a Yorkshireman.
Put wood int'hole. (Shut the door)
ReplyDeleteI think 'By gum' will be my new phrase. I lurve it.
