Down in Cornwall, the slang is as windswept and salty as the coast itself. Old Cornish words still creep into everyday chat, and "dreckly" is less a word and more a philosophy of life.
Cornwall
The gems of local lingo
"She got proper chopsy with the ref after that penalty call, yelling from the stands like she was managing the team. Even the stewards were trying not to laugh."
"Replaced the whole clutch in the driveway with nothing but a socket set and a flask of tea. Proper job, that. Even the mechanic next door gave an approving nod."
"The view from Tintagel this morning was proper ansome, I tell you. Sun coming through the mist and the sea all turquoise like something off a postcard."
"When you going to mend that gate, my lover? Been hanging off the hinge all week. Alright, dreckly. I’ll sort 'ee after I’ve had me pasty and a cuppa."
"Alright butt, that new bar by the station is lush. Had a cracking pint and the chips were tidy. We’re going back Friday."
Voices of the people
Theory is all well and good... but what we Magikitos really love is hearing the people of Cornwall in their natural flow. If you know a typical expression from there, record it in the Studio using it with a real example. We will add it to the voices of your area!
