Is that English?

I think scrobble must be VERY localised as it was something all my friends knew when I was small. This was in Bromsgrove/Redditch when they were sleepy little backwaters and not the overflow from bulldozed bits of Birmingham which Redditch has definitely become and Bromsgrove partially so. The each had their own distinct accents but I've noticed these have mostly become swallowed up by the very different Brummie accent these days.

It means to screw up, as in a piece of paper rather than make a mess of things.

and my great grandmother used to say I amma which meant I am not (going to do something)

.

Funnily enough we use ammant the same way.
Another that I use frequently is vaa nigh - which means almost or very nearly

My absolute fave Northumbrian farmerism is :
"Wey! the f***in f**ker f**ked the f**ker!" Which means "why! the clumsy gentleman broke it!"

I like that one

In Rochdale they have a saying "thes nowt wrong wi' owt that dunt spirtle green grummins" = you can still eat it

Speaking the Queen's French, me!

But she's bloody German!
