We asked our readers what they thought were some of the most Sheffield phrases around, and here are nine of the most popular ones. What do you think?

9. 'Put big light on'
The main light in the room is commonly referred to in Sheffield as the ‘big light’, and of course we don’t say ‘the’ around here. Another popular one, often used by parents, is ‘it’s like Blackpool illuminations in here!’, and this is used if you do put said ‘big light’ on. Photo: Ignas Duoba - stock.adobe.com
