Welcome to Wirelect!
Wirelect is a blog project dedicated to the Warrington dialect. The aim is to collect and document the Warrington dialect by crowdsourcing, that is, you the reader. The blog is open for anyone to read, but it is the aim of the project to get speakers of the Warrington dialect to sign up to the blog, and post the words and phrases that they use so that we can document the dialect.
This is just the start. Much more information and instructions will become available in the coming days and weeks.
So sign up and "mek yer voice 'erd!"
OK. I'll start us off.
ReplyDeleteMard - a person who cries a lot; someone who cannot stand pain, disappointment, etc.
Example: stop crying, don't be mard.
Whwn my brother in law, who comes from Yorkshire, first heard the word mard he had no idea what it meant. Their word which has the same meaning is maungie.
