It might be more that - I've only really heard it in the context of someone saying it about themselves. There's another weird one actually which I don't know if it's elsewhere; "chatty" meaning... sort of messy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect they have also not acknowledged many of the differences here in such a small geographical area is due to other languages impacting on English. A solely English speaker here would happily throw in Welsh words possibly not even knowing they were Welsh, but just a word. Baps, daps, half n half, da iawn, ych a fi, cwtches, mam, nain, mun. Yep, thats kinda my point. All those dialectic indicators would be present in Cardiff, Swansea, Valleys and Barry. Also concur that the author is talking out of his arse with dialects / accents 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
