MN Slang?

[happy daze john in oz]

I spoke with a very old seaman here in Oz that I know, so old he tells me the Dead SEa was only sick when he was a young lad and he can throw no light on it either.

[Dennis McGuckin]

Another word I use a lot is 'Cods-woddle [may have once been cods-offal, for guts]Used when showing disaproval. i.e.not agreeing, its untrue etc.
I'm sure some of you have heard of this one?

[Ivan Cloherty]

Dennis, only remember "Load of Cod's Wallop" which meant load of rubbish (nonesense), quite prevalent in fishing ports, never did discover real meaning of wallop, although mum used to say "I'll give you a wallop if you don't behave yourself"

[Jim Brady]

Three Wallops,Nether Wallop Middle Wallop Over Wallop villages in Hampshire.'waella' (stream) and 'hop' (valley) 'the valley of the springing water'.Not the answer but just a bit of useless information.

Ding Bats
A Ding Bat was a name for the little tankers that ran up the Maracaibo Lakes before they dredged the Bar so the big ones go up there. When me and your dad were lads.

I used to drive through the Wallops, very pretty villages. with thatched cottages etc. when I used to drive to the Office at ESSO in Fawley. Off the M5 through Cheltenham and Cirencester, Tidworth through the Wallops and then Romney to Southampton.

Scupper-guts is another one I use, but that is self explanatory.

[Red Lead Ted]

Or have i been forced to watch to many episodes of bloody Coronation Street, {WELL I WILL GO TO THE FOOT OF OUR STAIR,S } My old granny always used that phrase. Baffled Terry.

[Ivan Cloherty]

Terry it used to be said by people who lived in bungalows or prefabs when people were telling them a story they didn't quite believe, a bungalow girl used to say to me when I told her I loved her when I was nearing her comfort zone
