I'm posting a new section of text every month so keep watching for more wonderful insights into Yorkshire language and culture of the time!About this bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14862141437943326400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2118632049570422994.post-52036394144757168752012-02-09T14:09:53.093+00:002012-02-09T14:09:53.093+00:00I feel sure that John Hartley would have included ...I feel sure that John Hartley would have included 'bleggin' in his work but I've lost my 1912 copy of 'Dialect'. 'Bleggin' was also blackberry or raspberry-picking. Less tastefully - in the strongest possible sense of the meaning - I have heard 'blegging' referred to as 'nose-picking'. It makes sense; though foraging of another kind. Never let it be said that Yorkshire folk are frugal when it comes to speech and langauge. There seems to be a meaning for everything. Such is the richness and wealth of Yorkshire slang and dialect!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
