These take me right back to my Liverpool childhood, although I have to admit I'd forgotten some of them   
'Cum 'ed our kid' ....come along or come on then usually to make a smaller child hurry up

I mentioned in my earlier post that my mum used to say "they'd spoil another couple" although she'd use it to describe a pair who were nutty rather than ugly, or a couple who deserved each other, I think we all know what that means!

Mum was also one for spoonerisms, our cars were always old bangers and one day when Dad came home with a Moggy Miner, she announced that we should hang on to this one as one day it would be a "colliters ectum", this became a family saying.

Although I've heard cack-handed means left-handed, I've always used it to mean clumsy, in fact I called His Nibs that only today! I think it's because cack means crap in Welsh, at least according to my Granddad it does!

Granddad was from that generation of Welsh whose parents actively discouraged their children from learning the language even though it was their own first language.
Great-Granddad used to say "I speak three spokes, English, Welsh and rubbish".

Apart from cack and the usual Welsh everyone knows, the only other Welsh that crept into his vocabulary was "wedi mynd", used when something was unfixable. Mum told me it meant "gone west" actually wedi means past and mynd means go, does that mean the Long Mynd in Shropshire is Long Gone? !!

Growing up here in NZ in the 60s used to here some of those expressions, particularly from my maternal grandparents.

When asking what was for dinner you would get told 'Dimplets", which meant S**t with sugar on usually .

'Mad as a meat axe' was another one

My paternal grandfather had one expression 'Silly as a two-bob watch'
