What do people form Sussex say that others don't?
A few to begin with
Hollingbury's = Testicles
Derives from cockney rhyming slang for balls - Orchestra Halls, which is shorterned to Orc's. Hollingbury's is taking the rhyming slang one futher, rhyming orc's with Hollingbury Hawks
Twitton -
A narrow lane (like Ship Street Gardens in the South Lanes).
The Knock - i.e in a mood "he's got the knock".
Definitely a south of England thing.
Can anyone think of any other Sussex words or sayings?
