Tidy?

[missyburd]

Does anyone use the words tidy/safe as adjectives for good? e.g. that apple crumble is tidy or that guy is safe.... :confused:

I don't know if it's just because I'm northern and as a result have never heard these terms used in this context before, but it don't half puzzle me. I've been known to get odd reactions when I use the word ''sound'' in the same manner and I do understand the whole dialect thing, but tidy? :shock:

Am I just living with an illiterate weirdo? :lol:

[Drew Carey]

I never used to, but sometimes find my self refering to nice bikes as "Tidy". Safe on the other hand is for chavy gangster wannabees.

[Wideboy]

Cant say I do myself - but the one that gets me is the American word for good "sick" - wtf is that all about! :???:

[Dangerous Dave]

The missus looks pretty tidy, her cooking ain't safe though....

[Paul the 6th]

hang on a minute. I heard moyles on radio one the other day going on about a big idea then suddenly he went "oh no it's pony"... I was a bit baffled. Then I got to work and started chatting to a colleague when he suddenly said "nah that looks pony" - (just turned 50 and hates radio1 so definitely not from moyles)...

Since when did "pony" mean "crap"?

brap

I'd use safe or sick, but never tidy or blud, yet when I go into the garage I see an SV not an RS125 or a Nova with a dustbin rattling round by the rear wheel (oo almost forgot the go faster stripes and neons)
I'd never wear a tracksuit other than for playing sport or lounging round the house
But hey, I guess I'm still a chav right
:rolleyes:

It's exactly like the word 'Wicked' as Maria suggested.

There's that story of a boy going into a shop with his mum and saying "those trainers are sick". She clipped him round the ear, before one of the staff told her he meant they were good/cool..

Just a different generation..

[Paul the 6th]

i do say "wicked" or "slick" or "mega" or "top banana"

[Blue_SV650S]

Tidy is a correct in the Wenglish language as spoken in the s-wales valleys and surrounding suburbs

as is proven by the official dictionary of English -Wenglish

'how to talk tidy like what we does'

I've noticed the Welsh also shorten names to one syllable and say "is it?" instead of "innit" at the end of a sentence
