I like the the Georgie word 'hoy'!
Alan Partridge fans will know what I am talking about:
'Well, there was this macak monkey right and it got into my tent and eaten all me fags, so I hoyed it in the sea'
'You threw a monkey in the sea? I was searching for something pleasant and witty...that's just upsetting'
Ha ha! Apologies to those who do not know about or watch 'Partridge' but those of you who do will find it funny!

"Ye hink yur that hard, Vader so ye dae. Well we're no feart ae you!"
"Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid."
"Nae messin aboot wi the god squad and auld rubbish, wee man. Get yersel' a decent shooter"
"There's no mystical energy field controls my destiny."
"The Force?!! D'youse think ah came doon wi the rain?!"
"I've got a real bad feeling about this"
"Ah'm pure cr$*pin' ma sel' here boy"
"Bring 'em on! I prefer a straight fight to all this sneaking around."
"Come right ahead then! Fight the lot o ye!"

twigglet said:And a Shropshire phrase- just a tadge (just a little) always makes me grin
That's just a polite abreviation of 'Gnats Tadger'

One of my favourite shropshire sayings was shouted at me by an old farmer as he threatened to tell my parents what I'd been doing. He followed the threat up with
"...and dunner think I wunner coz I will"
