Ow we spaik round ear

I thought perhaps, for those not from this neck of the woods, I should explain that the expression "doh spile" which I used the other day is local dialect for "doesn't spoil (i.e. go bad)". There are those who know far more about this than me, who maintain that the Black Country dialect is the closest to how English would have been spoken in Chaucer's day. Whatever, it contains some very idiosyncratic words and pronunciations. Here are just a few...

Ar = yes
As lief = rather, as soon as (e.g. I'd as lief....")
Bin, bist = am, are
Bostin = excellent
Cagmag = cheap meat (or other foodstuff) of dubious quality
Cor = can't
Day = didn't
Fun = found
Gawk = stare (e.g. "Wot yow gawkin' at?")
Ile = oil
Jiffy = brief moment (e.g. 'e woh be a jiffy")
Myther = bother, irritate (e.g. "doh myther the babby")
Okud = awkward
Ommer = hammer
Oss road = street (e.g. "stay out the oss road")
Purler = a fall (e.g. "cum a purler")
Reasty = dirty or gone off (food)
(Tacky)bonk = pit mound
Waggin, on the wag = playing truant (e.g. "Am yow on the wag?")
Wum = home (e.g. "Ah'm gooin' wum")
Yampy = Many meanings - useless, mad, easily upset, hyperactive......
