We were talking about Wimbledon at work this afternoon and looking at the scores on the internet, when we noticed who was playing - an American called Mardy Fish!
We were in hysterics - does 'Mardy' mean the same in the US as it does here?
In Norfolk this is a word that is used by the "Country Folk" or older generation Mardy, means grumpy/rude and miserable,not talking to anybody sort of thing,
Mardy
Noun. Someone who is easily upset, scared, or moans incessantly. {Informal} [North and Midlands use]
Adj. In the manner of someone who is a 'mardy', see noun.
well coincidentally I heard someone say "mardy" when we were in Manchester yesterday!
Would love to hear some more of the Scottish words and other regional words - I know cullyhunkers (sp?) A Scotttish friend of mine used to say "get off your cullyhunkers" if she wanted people to get up and help. We need meanings too !
