Yorkshire is blessed with a rich and colourful dialect, often laced with humour, but if you’re new to the county it can be a bit confusing.
We asked the people of Yorkshire to suggest the words and phrases you’ll only understand if you’re from the area, and they replied in their droves.

How many of these sayings do you recognise, and what others would you suggest?
