Nero Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Anntwacky, which is a Lancashire/Cheshire bastardisation of 'antique', used to denote something old-fashioned, out-of-date.

Brendan Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 My other half and her family say Antwacky. I didn't have a clue what they were on about until it was explained. I thought they were asking for tobacco or something. :-S Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/1235-what-is-your-favourite-expression/#findComment-32727 Share on other sites More sharing options...

dulwichmum Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 I am enjoying the word "flounce" at the moment, and even the expressions "hey ho" and "hurrah." But then, only people who realise how bloody alien these phrases are to my natural vocabulary will realise why I am laughing out loud while typing this. I am a retired bricklayer from Penge afterall...
