We’ve got a colourful city which is packed full of amazing history and character – as well as a selection of words and phrases that you’ll not hear elsewhere.
We have lots of unique words and phrases you are unlikely to hear if you venture away from the city – unless you bump into another Sheffielder.
Some of them have been exported across the world by the Arctic Monkeys.
But some of them will go right over the heads of people who don’t know our city.
However, language is constantly evolving through the years and slang can end up falling out of fashion.
We’ve picked nine classic traditional Sheffield sayings and expressions here – how many of them do you use?
