Crambazzled ??
Revealed in the newspapers today, a new book "The Wonder of Whiffling" is released on Thursday.
It's a volume of oddball, but genuine sayings.
included are,
"Crambazzled" :- A Yorkshire term describing prematurely aged from boozing
"Fornale" :- To spend your money before it's earned
"Grinagogs" :- People who are always smiling
I just wondered if anyone could provide practical examples of any of these ??

Oh how hilarious. I'm in danger of splitting my sides laughing, you two.You can read my thoughts Daz
Well, what a disappointment!
Alright, alright. For al the students of dialect and etymology, here's a few off the top of my head.
In the old days, fields were ploughed "Rig and Furrow". It left hills and hollows, in which a sheep, often pregnant, could get stuck on its back. it was said to be "Riggwelted". Now do you understand

" Nesh" . Wrong side of the Pennines also , this one. Soft, effeminate, lily livered.
"Brussen". Full of food, or pompous, self important.
"Riding" . A third part. Though there's a South Yorkshire, there's no South Riding, despite there being a book of the same name.
( For those who don't know, the three Ridings might as well be different countries. They're wildly different)
"Fettle". Make, sort out, achieve.
"Flit". Move House
"Kayli". Sherbert
"Kaylied " . Drunk. As a result of a couple of Sherberts?
"Laik" . Play
"Lig". Lie down.
"Lop" . Flea.
"Sneck" . Door Latch
"Snecklifter" . Someone who would lift the sneck, poke his head round the door, hoping to find a friendly face, who would stand him a pint.
A few phrases I lifted wholesale.
