Eh by gum! - a quick guide to Yorkshire dialect

When you visit for your Harrogate stag do, you might notice a couple of weird and wonderful Yorkshire dialect doing the rounds. Drop a couple into conversation and see if you can fool the locals into thinking you're a real man of the moors!

• Chuddy - chewing gum. When you're out and about on the town in Harrogate and get chatting to a lovely Yorkshire lass at the bar only to realise that your breath leaves much to be desired, be sure to ask around for a piece of chuddy and not 'chewy' or 'gum' which is more likely to leave you with blank faces than minty fresh breath.
• Cludger - toilet. A good one to have around in case you get caught short.
• Keks - trousers. Try not to lose these on your stag night...
• Plother - mud. You and the boys might find yourselves caked in more than a little plother after quad biking or grass karting!
• Scran - food. Luckily, the Yorkshire lot take their scran very seriously, so you won't be going hungry anytime soon.
• Sup - drink. Sup means more than just a streetwise greeting up North. It comes with a pint on the side.
• Nesh - a little bit pathetic for feeling cold. If you're coming from the south, you might hear this when you head out of the door in anything more than a t-shirt in February.
