Across the sheugh in the mainland...

Lord Taoist kindly commented on a blog post yesterday

Surely the old saying should be one of
Wind yer neck in, big lawd
Catch yerself awn, there
or even
Gettawaytayfeck

This prompted a visit to the Belfast Forum where they are discussing Old Belfast words.

A sprazzie which was athe old 6d piece
A bob was a shilling
