Not sure if the exclusively Brummie but it was common when I grew up there and no one in London seems to have heard it.

And what about ‘jebend’ to mean either ‘cigarette butt’ or someone useless and usually annoying ‘that bloke’s a complete jebend’. Again, not sure if that’s exclusively Brummie but it seems unknown in London and also unknown to some Northerners I speak to that are now in London.

Found this site as people in London refused to believe that ‘donnies’ was a term for hands. So I suspect that may be genuinely Brummie too.

Pop generally meant the stuff from the weekly Corona lorry. Cordial was the still stuff.

The Alpine man was another source of pop – some wicked colours as I recall.

Talking of drinks, anyone remember “Brown and mild”, that was my fave, a small bottle of Manns brown ale mixed with half a mild.

When I returned to my old watering hole a few years ago I asked the barmaid for a “brown and mild” and had to explain it to her.

Dunno if Brown and mild was a brummie thing or not.

Pop to us was the fizzy stuff (still soft drinks were squash) and we only got pop if dad was earning lots!

Tranklements I’d never heard of till I went out with a lad from the Black Country and he called it Tronklements (well that’s how it sounded). That was Dudley way.

Not sure if they are all limited to Birmingham, but I did get some strange looks when I referred to “pop” in London.
