no southerner, id say ecky thump if i were northern [img]tongue.gif[/img] and i only used it to quote a comedy, cant remember which one, possibly red dwarf

12-23-2002, 07:40 AM

sounds a tad Pythonesque to me

Hmmmmm, guessing where people come from just by the made up words they use online... the wonder's of modern technology...

Grungi · 12-23-2002, 07:52 AM

ecky thump isnt made up, its a northern expression from england, its an exclamation of surprise sort of "by ecky thump" bit weird if you ask me [img]tongue.gif[/img]

and yep might have been python, but nooooooo i think just remembering it was kryten in red dwarf, with a random stream from when his circuits went funny, no idea which episode, that sounds like it [img]tongue.gif[/img]

btw i also use ay up which is another northern expression, but im not northern [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Callum Kerr · 12-23-2002, 07:58 AM

I know its a northern expression... I'm English myself... and my Dad has a wide range of accents to pull out every now and agin....... but it's still made up...

Grungi · 12-23-2002, 08:13 AM

by that logic all words are "made up" [img]tongue.gif[/img] ecky thump is as much a northern expression (albeit a dated one) as saying "good morning to you" all language is made up anyhows [img]tongue.gif[/img] amazing we got past grunts and pointing [img]smile.gif[/img]

Callum Kerr · 12-23-2002, 08:18 AM

ok when i say made-up, i mean with no obvious meaning... but anyways, you said "ickythump"... which is made-up

Grungi · 12-23-2002, 08:54 AM

yep definately madeup [img]smile.gif[/img] and it is python too, its from holy grail cant remember which part, also something in red dwarf [img]smile.gif[/img]

and ecky thump does have a meaning just not a completely clear one, "by ecky thump" is like saying "by god" its swearing by something.

Callum Kerr · 12-23-2002, 09:02 AM

In that case, it has a USE not a meaning - and shouldn't it be "boi 'ecky thoomp"

Grungi · 12-23-2002, 09:37 AM

probably [img]tongue.gif[/img] i must admit i have heard the odd person say it as though its normal conversation, i try not to laugh too much when they do [img]smile.gif[/img] , ay up though i use alot instead of hello, i think thats quite a popular yorkshire one
