Eppie. To get very angry about something. As in, “alright calm down, don’t have an eppie !” Derives from epileptic fit I believe. ---

Guff. Could mean someone talking a mild amount of bollocks. Or a mild, not very noisy fart. No modern replacement for either sadly ---

Not a word, but a saying. My eldest daughter was talking at me, as she does about things she wants. I said ‘You are like a stuck bloody record’. Now a record to her is something that someone try’s to beat. WR for example. She came back down about an hour later, and I had to explain the whole record, getting stuck (or the needle getting stuck), due to a bit of dirt, dust or a scatch. I then had to show her one of my records. Fucking hard work it was, but until I said it, I did not think that sh would not have a clue what a record was! ---

It is getting worse. At the last family gathering, one of my sister in laws pulls out an old mobile phone (small nokia type thing), my ten year nephew looked at it and asked what it was - he has only seen smart phones. ---
