Used to hear it a lot back in my clubbing days when we knocked around with some lads/lasses from Manchester, Ashton & Hyde.NotoriousREV wrote: Thu May 02, 2019 9:48 amI've literally never heard anyone say that in my entire life.McSwede wrote: Thu May 02, 2019 8:39 amSimilar with Manc's saying "the next again day" rather than "the day after tomorrow"NotoriousREV wrote: Wed May 01, 2019 3:17 pm
"Outwith" is my favourite Scottishism. Most Scots seem unaware that it's not a word anyone else uses.
I'm Yorkshire and I've never heard funderal either. That's a weird one

Outwith is a word that gets used a lot in the planning line of work that we deal with though.

Not quite the same, but oop North (Yorkshire like) I do hear the greeting 'now then' quite a bit. Don't recall hearing it anywhere else.

Similar to the Irish “Come ‘ere” or “Come ‘ere to me”
Informal start to a sentence
