Rosie Ramsey #9 it's such a hard life being Chris Ramsey's wife!

[Jemadah]

I "think" it;s dialect. Gan has roots in from long ago viking/scandinavian influences in the area. It's not slang definitely. (If I remember what my husbands uncle used to tell me correctly, and indeed if he was right. Assume he was because he did some of his degree on the topic - but it was back in the early 70s) If you go to an scandinavian airport you can see inganned and ootgannen (or similar - totally going from memory which is lazy becauseI have the whole of google)

I'm a little concerned at how interesting I find this and talk of language in general but also @MarriotBonvoy reading my original reply back it sounds really arsey and I didn't mean it to come across that way, it was meant to be jokey so apologies, I wasn't trying to be awful so sorry if it comes across that way

Don’t give them ideas!

Eurghh no thanks! Rosie can hardly be bothered to read to their own kids. They’ve well and truly got their feet under the table at the bbc haven’t they!

What a bleeping way to spoil my morning *View attachment 857119*clicks unsubscribe**

She needs to come up with a new hair style as her chavvy one is quite dated now

I feel like it’s a turbo charged push for them to brand themselves as a couple now rather than him as a comedian in his own right. He’s among lots like him on his own but they offer something a bit more unusual being a married couple working together. Shame they’re mediocre. Just not funny enough. Nice enough people I’m sure but second rate comedians/entertainers. Just dull choices by the bbc. Yawn.

 

[MarriotBonvoy]

Mmm I’m from the same area as them . Id

We’re gannin’ on a bear hunt ! Whey norrr

 

[Biscuit or cake]

Eugh! All that stuff about being suitable for post watershed and now they're sneaking on to cbeebies.
They'll turn up for the opening of an envelope at the minute..

 

[Cmayfield]

I never expected their show to be on BBC, this does make me think that Rosie will be on SCD soon dont take strictly away from me, I'm already gutted Chris is possibly on the next season of taskmaster

Hasn’t he done it already?

 

[Fifah1907]

Hasn’t he done it already?

He’s already filmed TM, according to reports anyway

 

[WilmaHun]

Did she actually just say on her stories that self promotion does not come easily to her?!?! is she having a laugh.

And that unlike her husband she has humility!?!

Yes quite a lot of places suggesting him as a TM constestant as the SMA tour dates were around tbe studio recording for TM

 

[daisies and daffs]

As an English teacher you should recognise that it's dialect rather than slang - not that that's any justification for her using it

I’m a Geordie, and I’d definitely class ‘gan’ as slang.

Slang gets used everywhere; dialect is specific to a particular region. Gan is pretty specific to Newcastle and very few other places - that's what makes it dialect rather than slang

This! I can’t bare to see the greasy, stringy hair just limply sat around her face in the Cbeebies photo straight from the chip pan

 

[JBrown]

She’s posting sad little pointless quotes now. True to form and type….

We’ll have to agree to differ with it being pretty specific to Newcastle, that’s absolutely not the case. Rosie isn’t actually classed as Geordie either.
However, thank you all the same for the clarification, good to know.

I always think that too, she’s from South Shields so really not a geordie at all she tries too hard to sound common. I try my hardest to hide my geordie accent. And you can guarantee when you go to any city someone says ooh I love your accent say wey aye pet! Or something equally as tit
