I asked, "Are you gonna chain up Your new Pomeranian pup?" For most people of Maine, Excess talking's a pain So he simply responded, "Ayup." For many residents of the state of Maine, ayup (also heard and, in print, seen as ayah) means "yes." I don't know why. |

With a pal from 'up north', just we two, I was sharing a brew, as you do. "Ey up, lad," said he, "Is t' world reet wi' thee?" "Aye," said I, "It's reet guid, and wi' you?" Ey up (ay OOP) is a dialect phrase or interjection spoken in the UK counties of Yorkshire, East and West Midlands, and Lancashire. According to context it can mean: Hello, How are you?, Look at that, Take notice of that, Don't do that, or What is that? Dialect translation is, by its nature, an inexact process and more of an art than a science. However, when rendered into Yorkshire dialect this limerick might read: Wi' eur pal fra 'up north', just we twoa, I wor sharin eur brew, as theur doa. "Ey up, lad," sez 'e, "Is t' world reet wi' thee?" "Aye," sez ah, "it's reet guid, 'n wi' theur?" This is the first in a collection of limericks about the dialect of the county of Yorkshire in the UK. The next is ginnel. |
