Proud to be a Tyke :)
Tomorrow is Yorkshire day :) now Im well aware this has probably just been invented for touristy reasons but I dont care :) Am a northerner and proud as many of you know. I thought I would use the oppertunity to make you all talk proper like what I do lol...(Im only including the ones Ive used or have heard of...)
A bad-un (A bad person)
A banger (A sausage, and also a small firework that makes a very loud noise after being lit and thrown away)
A brew (A cup of tea)
A bugger (A bad person - but was previously used for a person that practiced sodomy)
Aye (Yes; it is pronounced the same as the letter ´I´ in the alphabet)
Ay-up! (A surprised, but warm, greeting. The "Ay" is pronounced like the first letter of the alphabet)
Bab (Faeces, or the act of excretion - also known as "Baba"; a word used by children. Can also be used to describe something that is useless or bad)
Baccy (Tobacco)
Barney (An argument, or to argue)
Barn-te'r (Bound/sure to do something)
Bairn (Child - although this is disputed as to whether it has true Yorkshire origins)
Be-fuddled (Confused)
Benny (A tantrum i.e. to throw a Benny/throw a tantrum)
Bevvy (Beer)
Berth´ day suit (In your birthday suit: naked - being the same as when one was born)
Blatherin´ (Talking a lot, but saying nothing)
Bogus (Something not quite right - probably illegal)
Boots fer Bairns (A charity that gave donated shoes to - presumably - shoeless children) this one made me laugh
and it goes on, have a look yourself

'On Ilkley Moor Bar-tat' is possibly the most famous of Yorkshire songs, and to answer many queries, the phrase "Bar-tat" translates as, "Without a Hat".
