Sheffield dialect: 18 words and phrases you'll only know if you're from Sheffield, including nesh and mardy

The city’s dialect includes some wonderfully colourful words and phrases, often lending a lyrical lilt to the most prosaic of sentences.

Some are better known than others, like ‘mardy’, which was popularised by the Arctic Monkeys’ song Mardy Bum, or ‘love’, an everyday greeting which inspired the title of Richard Hawley’s latest album, In This City They Call You Love.
