To those from Derbyshire, there is nothing unusual about the way people here speak, but those from the county are often armed with a vocabulary of phrases that might confuse those from further afield.
Derbyshire’s dialect has a long and ancient history, with many words reflective of the language used by the Angles, Saxons and Vikings who arrived on our shores thousands of years ago.
The unique turn of phrase has brought with it a number of classic insults over the years – how many of these do you know?
