In the UK, they're circulating something that helps doctors when talking to patients from Yorkshire.

It's making the rounds amongst US military personnel in Iraq, because they might end up providing medical care to a soldier from Yorkshire.

lol this is great.

My husbad/partner is good to me.
Translation: My husband/partner doesn't expect sex.
What an odd place Yorkshire must be, men no expecting sex? Madness indeed.

Note that it says 'husband/partner', not 'husband/wife', which does rather suggest that it is being said by a female.

Indeed. One could also infer that the women don't want to have sex with the Yorkshire men, since the good ones don't expect sex.

The translation of "I've got fishdocks" is perticularly funny.
Good stuff altogether :)

Something I've wondered about:

I met quite a few people in London, who ended every sentence with, " , yeah?" or " , Yes?" or ", right?"

For a moment, I thought I was in rural Pennsylvania, where people end almost every sentence with a question.

Is that a habit peculiar to London, or is it a general UK thing?

It's a sad thing that's creeping in to young people's language; the 'Australian Inquisitive Syndrome', where every sentence sounds like a question. Add to the mix crappy Californian teen comedies, "like, whatever, speak to the hand", and it becomes increasingly difficult to resist the urge to clonk these people round the head.

I've never heard that, but AQI (Australian Question Intonation) seems increasingly common all over the UK.
