In an attempt to educate this ignorant Canuck, Yorkshire’s favourite poofs,
Tazzy and Piggy, purchased this
Yorkshire-English dictionary for me…

Piggy: Aye, get agate. (Yes, go on then, get doing it.)
Tazzy: Best y’ do. (See that you do.)
MJ: Champion. (Excellent.)

Piggy: Ah-cud eet a'scabby-donkey tween tu Bre't-Vans. (I'm very hungry. I could eat a diseased donkey between two Bread Vans as a sandwich.)
MJ: Enough of this nonsense. Lesson over. Ahm still befuddled. (I’m still confused.) Boggled. (Mystified.) Flummoxed. (Bewildered.) Obviously I’ve learned nowt. (Obviously I’ve learned nothing.)
Tazzy: Flippin ‘eck, MJ! (exclamation of surprise.) You’re a barmpot. (You’re stupid.)
Piggy: Yes, MJ. You’re daft as a brush. (You’re stupid.) Yer arf baked. (You’re stupid.)

MJ: Gi’ over. (Stop it.) Any road (anyway) I’ll just have to make do with this handy
Yorkshire Translator instead.
If anyone can assist with my Yorkshire Speak education, please submit your Yorkshire words and phrases in the comments section.
If not, then sling yer ‘ook. (If not then I suggest you go away immediately.)
Ta’ra! (Goodbye!)
