Moose Allain shared some Devon words and the replies were a dictionary of delights – 18 favourites

Everywhere in the world has its own local flavour, sometimes literally in the shape of unique recipes, but more often in terms of accents and the words and phrases used.

Artist and very funny man, Moose Allain shared some expressions he remembered from Devon in the 80s.

Quite a lot of people recognised those words, like journalist Michael Moran, who explained where he’d heard them.

Matthew Warren had good news.

But Moose’s tweets got people thinking about the words and phrases peculiar to their areas, so although there were far too many to post them all, we picked our favourites.
