A croggy's not a backy - they're different.
I lived in Hull for 10 years, but never heard 'croggy' before.
I did come across these, though:
errr nerr (Oh no!)
draa waat waan (Dry white wine)
british herm sterrs (British Home Stores)
faav-a-saad (Five-a-side)
as opposed to a 'racky'I know the term, however we'd usually say backy
Oh, do keep up Maz!
(Googles Croggy ...) Ha ha - look where I found it!![]()
My mother's side of our family come from the Oban area and they really struggle with the way that Glaswegians talk so it isn't just the English!It always amazes me that so many English people are so ignorant of different words used in their country, I feel it is indicative of narrow-mindedness and the priority given to certain "large urban languages" within the media, but mostly narrow-mindedness.
