We’re talking local dialect this week. Gyles takes the New York Times British-Irish Dialect Quiz. Featuring hirpling, the language of doggo, the accents of ducks, Mardy Bums and craic. A Somethin’ Else production.
Susie’s trio of words for the week are:
Flinterkin: from Orkney meaning a dry cow pat.
Glimmer-gowk: an owl in Gloucestershire and Lincolnshire.
Fobly-Mobly: 18th Century term meaning neither well nor unwell. A bit meh.
