And I'm in Tiptree
highlanderpony2002, if you're only visiting, you might find this dictionary that was kindly given to my husband useful
In the event of finding oneself in the county of Essex (after boarding the wrong train, for example, or taking an enforced traffic diversion) familiarity with some of the colloquial language in popular usage may be helpful.
alma chizzit - A request to find the cost of an item
amant - Quantity; sum total ("Thez a yuge amant of mud in Saffend")
awss - A four legged animal, on which money is won, or more likely lost ("That awss ya tipped cost me a fiver t'day")
branna - More brown than on a previous occasion ("Ere, Trace, ya look branna today, ave you been on a sunbed?")
bruvva - Male relative sharing same parents ("Me bruvva's back in court on Tuesday")
cort a panda - Large hamburger
dan in the maff- Unhappy ("Wossmatta, Trace, ya look a bit dan in the maff")
eye-eels - Women's shoes affording significant elevation to the wearer
Furrock - The location of Lakeside Shopping Centre
garrij - A building where a car is kept or repaired (Trace: "Oi, Darren, I fink the motah needs ta go in the garrij cos it aint working proper, innit")
Ibeefa - Balaeric holiday island
innit - Modifier, usually at end of sentence, to check or clarify that statement is accurate or understood (see "garrij" above - "it ain't working proper, innit")
lafarjik- Lacking in energy ("I feel all lafarjik")
oi oi! - Traditional greeting. Often heard from the doorway of pubs or during banging dance tunes at clubs
owssband - Unable to leave the house because of illness, disability etc
paipa - The Sun, The Mirror or The Sport
reband- The period of recovery and emotional turmoil after rejection by a loved one ("I couldn't elp it, I wuz on the reband from Craig")
Saffend - Essex coastal resort boasting the longest pleasure pier in the world. The place where the characters from TV's, popular soap opera, Eastenders go on holiday
shu' up - Direct request for quiet ("shu' up, I'm tryiner watch Eastenders")
tan - The city of London , the big smoke
war' er - transparent colourless liquid; molecular structure characterised by two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom; vital to all lifeforms
webbats - Querying the location of something or someone. ("Webbats is me dole card Trace? I've gotta sign on in arf hour")
wonnid - 1. Desired, needed. 2. Wanted by the police
zaggerate - To imply that something is bigger or better than it actually is. ("I told ya a fazzand times already")
Now, I do need to check with you, cobalmighty, on exactly how many a's there are in Saaaaafend? I originally thought the more the merrier but was recently corrected by gingerloon (an 'Arlow girl) that so many was a waste of energy. For example, she finks it's cancil (as in ve cancil give me an asber), rather than caaaancil. Maybe it's regional dialect?
