If you’ve mastered part 1<\/a> of the how to here is part 2…<\/p>\n

If you ever hear the word “Nowt” – it means “nothing” “As tha’ got owt for nowt agen shite shoes?” (also note shit is pronounced shite – like white)<\/p>\n

The word “mardy” is a Yorkshire favourite – it means moody\/stroppy\/grumpy. Oh, and remember, as with all Yorkshire words – it’s said like “mard-eh.” Ref \u201cMardy Bum\u201d by the Arctic Monkeys (popular Yorkshire folk band).<\/p>\n

“Nar then” is a perfectly acceptable, and very friendly way to greet someone. Another common greeting is “Ey up, how’s tha doin?”<\/p>\n

A Geisha is commonly referred to as “r lass”.<\/p>\n

“Propah” or “rate” is used to substitute “really” or “very”<\/p>\n

Example:- \u201cthat was a nasty delivery\u201d = \u201cThat delivery wo proper nasteh\u201d \/ \u201cthat delivery wo rate nasteh\u201d<\/p>\n

“Bloody” (or Yorkshire say, ‘bloodeh’) = “That bloodeh tubby never shuts up” alternatively, “that bloodeh tubby lad never giz \u2018is gob a rest”<\/p>\n

Remember tha\u2019d rather be an \u2018otdog than be a “Lanc” (a person from Lancashire). Yorkshire and Lancashire are sworn mortal enemies.<\/p>\n

For further reference check out popular Yorkshire films such as Brassed off, The Full Monty, Kes or anything with Sean Bean as it\u2019s the only accent he can do!<\/p>\n

Last but by no means least for the definitive West Yorkshire accent you cannot beat the King of Yorkshire, and president of Yorkshire County Cricket Club Sir Geoffrey Boycott.<\/p>\n
