they're not my mechanics..out for nowt is my second name

Should that not read "owt for nowt" as my old Gran would say. Yes I'm ashamed to say that there is a (very) little bit of Northerner in me /
Lets see how our American cousins translate that phrase

I tried googling, binging, and asking around the office. I still have no clue what it means. I cannot even glean a clue off the context of the sentence.

owt — pron
( Northern English ) a dialect word for anything

[a variant of aught 1 ]

nowt -noun, plural nowt. Scot. and North England .
1. an ox.
2. a herd of cattle.

nowt- noun British Dialect .
naught; nothing.

I don't think he was talking about cows so I'll go with the southern USA version of 'it didn't cost him nothing'.

And the man takes the Prize or at least he would have done if there was one

A lot of deep southern USA dialect is based on various UK dialects so going back to my roots, Alabama, and saying it out loud, I can get most of it. For the rest there is dictionary.com.

We will have to try you out with Geordie and Macam phrases. Even the most of us in the UK can not understand them

I'll give it a swing but I might have to throw some Cajun and Gullah back at you.

I recognise the term Cajun but Gullah is a new one on me. Where is it from please?
BTW How is your cockney rhyming slang? This is more my part of the UK

 

[johnakay]

yep any thing for nothing.

here you go for some northern slang.
giza...give a
wat's dat! what is that
canna do it...can't do it.

as for some folks in Newcastle even I can't understand them and its only 40 miles away.

Gullah is a mixture of English and West African that originated on the east coast of South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. You find parts of it mixed in throughout the deep south with pockets of communities that use it extensively. If you have ever seen the Disney movie “Song of the South”, you have heard it. Here is a Wikipedia article on it. Gullah language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I work with people from all over the world and often find it interesting to learn about the regional differences in customs, dialect, accents within a single country. Moving a few hundred miles west from Alabama to Arkansas made a big difference for me. I got many comments of your still in the south but your accent is different.

wat's dat, canna do it, those are common over here. Giza was a new one for me.

 

[johnakay]

I ran into Gullah in the Folly Beach / John's Island area of the South Carolina coast. Incredibly interesting to listen to. I had a white friend who grew up there who could speak it right back to them. He had a gift of accents and dialects. After 30 years in the Army, he could listen to you talk and tell you the first two digits of your zip code. Amazing.

Me, I am doing good to hear and understand good grammar. Assuming that you can find any.

 

[Rocker66]

How about Cockney rhyming slang? See if you can work these out without the use of the internet
I'm off down the frog
Do you fancy a Ruby?
Let me have a butchers at that

 

[soggybottom]

I'm from nort jersey, bada bing = WOW, great, good deal, nice, and just about anything. dees dem doughs=these them those, yous guys=y'all. ey=hey, fagetaboudit=forget about it. nuttin=nothing, mudder= mother, fadder= father. mudder can also mean a horse that runs good in the rain. not uncommon to use the F word every 2-3 words inbetween.

Recently a customer was writing and check to me, when I spelled my name he said that doesn't sound Italian but you have an Italian accent, I think he watches to many gangster movies?

 

[bamamate]

Let me have a butchers at that. We would say let me have a whack at that.
Do you fancy a Ruby? I believe that is in reference to a redhead. Least I’ve referred to redheads as rubies.
I’m off down the frog. Wild guess…..I’m at the local watering hole.

Soggbottom, jersey speak on a conference call, I have to ask them to slow down and take a breath every now and then so my brain can catch up.

I'm from nort jersey

You're from Jersey? What exit?

I used to live in Clinton, NJ. My neighbor was rambling on about something one day and I said "Carmine, I know you are talking faster than I can think, but I hope you are not talking faster than YOU can think!

frog is frog & toad = road
Ruby is Is Ruby Murray* = curry
Yes these are avtually used along with loads of others
* popular singer in the 50s

 

[bamamate]

Ah, OK. I stink with rhymes and poetry. Never makes since to me. Give me a long mathematical equation and then I’m good.

I don't think there is a dedicated exit for Freehold, maybe turnpike exit 8 Hightstown or parkway exit 102 Asbury Park, I don't talk real fast but once I start its hard to turn me off.

Clinton is a cool place, I used to fish at Round Valley and picked up many ton of stone at Glen Gardner Quarry.

Returning to the origonal topic I was pleased to see that my new bike came complete with centre stand. I guess being in a completely different price bracket to the NC may have something to do with that
