    La is something people say in Liverpool all the time, so I imagine people in North Wales either picked it up from there (or vice versa).

      There used to be an exhibit in the museum in Liverpool as to how the scouse accent developed over time, there is a big welsh and irish influence as it originally started out closer to a Lancaster accent before this. It was interesting the development of the accent.

    Mostly in the southern US "Buddy" is both a nickname and a word meaning 'friend'.

    I remember 'mush' being widespread (or at least, around south of England) when I was a kid - had no idea its origin!

    I’m a Gog from Flintshire, I’ve never heard hwntw or cofi. Must be from Gwynedd. When I was a kid you only heard la, which is short for lad, when spoken by Scousers or plastics. Turk was a slang term for making love to…(cleaned that up).

    I never understood how "cock" became a term of endearment in the North of England. The Welsh ones all sound better.
    The only other time I've heard "mush" is in the East End of London. I think it's in the lyrics from the Only Fools and Horses theme song.
    Thanks for the video. Now I know how to be friendlier, or not so 😉

  • @briganfree3656

    Mush I thought was an East end of London phrase, certainly part of the Cockney lingo. Perhaps it came from the Polari which was taken from all over the place. Polari was an invented language spoken by the homosexual community around the theatres and docks of London so that they could converse on the street without getting arrested as homosexuality was highly illegal back then .

    I hear ‘My Lovely’ a lot. I don’t know what they call the women though 😆
