Like all regions around the UK, we have our own dialect and there are certain phrases and things that we do which may only be understood by those who hail from the white rose county.
Here’s a list of things you might not understand if you’re not from the great region that is Yorkshire.
9. The phrase 'Ey up'
Yorkshire folk will have heard this phrase from very early on in their lives, as it the substitution for Hello or How are you. Its thought to have derived from the Norse, se up, which is said to mean watch out.
10. The Yorkshire accent
For many people outside of Yorkshire, the accent and dialect can be difficult with the dropping of letters etc...and peoples Yorkshire accent usually strengthening when around other Yorkshire folk.
11. Lass and lad
Some Yorkshire folk will refer to a woman or girl as lass and a man or boy as lad, so if you hear the common phrase our lass or our lad, this is what they mean.
12. We're chuffed!
For many people in Yorkshire, chuffed, usually meaning that youre extremely happy or over the moon. For others outside of Yorkshire, this word doesnt tend to mean anything, but for Yorkshire folk its an expressive word which is even in the dictionary.
