Yorkshire folk don't waste words, they're too expensive. The dialect is blunt, brilliant, and proud. If a Yorkshireman says owt nice to you, frame it. It doesn't happen often.
Yorkshire
The gems of local lingo
"The neighbours had a massive barney last night, you could hear every word through the wall."
"He tried to microwave a tin of beans, then blamed the socket. Absolute plank, mate. Stick the kettle on before he burns the whole flat down."
"Said I’d have one pint, ended up at the chippy at 3am. Came home a right mess, but it was a right laugh."
"He started wittering on about parking permits at the pub, so I did a polite nod, legged it to the loo, and he was still at it."
"Sound, our kid, you coming into town later? I’ve just been paid, so let’s hit the pub for a couple pints and some scran."
Voices of the people
Theory is all well and good... but what we Magikitos really love is hearing the people of Yorkshire 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!
