Do you say chaff or charff?

[aro]

Chaff!

 

[vanessa97]

Charrf? that's just ridiculous!

 

[elsiex]

Charf... I'm going to be really self concious about saying it now though ha ha, and am getting some strange looks sat here saying it out loud over and over!

Loving that some people say tro! Ha ha that's fantastic

 

[Eventer96]

Charf, barth, graass etc. Always said it that way. Have experimented saying it other ways and mother has just laughed at me, it just doesn't sound right any other way!

I'm a Southern girl.

Here in Essex we say charf, carstle, grarss etc..which is a bit posh really when we also say aint, innit & sumink???!!! That's well wierd!

Who sat in front of the computer saying 'chaff' over and over?

I did! Sounds very weird.

 

[humblepie]

Charf unless it is mollichaff then it is chaff (I have absolutely no idea why)

and

Garage - an early childhood memory which obviously scarred me for life was being told off by my father for saying garridge.

 

[3DE]

yog-gert instead of yo-gart

I say yo gurt

I say scon or scone depending what mood I'm in

 

[little_critter]

I say chaff.
BUT I do also say scones (like stones)
Bit of class confusion!

 

[Katamaran]

I'm from Hampshire and have always said chaff although I do say barth, parth, carstle!

 

[Seahorse]

When I lived in Kent I used to say Charff, but then moved to Sussex where people say Chaff.
I worked for a dressage rider who was from up north but very posh and she used to say charff, piarffe and parsta!!
I'll never forget standing at a dressage competition chatting to the other grooms and asking if their horse could piarffe? So embarrassing when they all started saying piaffe instead!!

I then moved to Lincolnshire and soon started saying chaff, grass, bath, castle etc. Now I live back down south again and use a mixture of the two!

 

[spotty_pony]

Chaff

 

[HollyWoozle]

Chaff!

 

[SmartieBean09]

I say Charff although non horsey other half tells me I am wrong thanks to an advert on Horse and Country in which they called it Chaff.

Just cant bring myself to say Chaff. Feels uncomfortable.

 

[asterid]

Chaff for me too!

 

[monkeybum13]

Chaff for me.

I've never heard it called charff - and this is from someone who pronounces Bath (the place) as Barth.

 

[badgerdog]

Well I'm northern and I'm not posh so it's definitely chaff!

 

[mcnaughty]

Charf here in Bucks....

 

[tallyho!]

Hilarious!!!! That made me Larrrffff!!!!!

I mean, seriously, charrfff??

It's chaff and I'm super-duper posh.

 

[FinkleyAlex]

charff, oh and I say scon although scone actually sounds a lot nicer outloud.

 

[rosie fronfelen]

charff, barth, gararge, carstle, parth, scon.

 

[Maisie2]

chaff, piaffe - barth, parth, carstle, scon

 

[LeneHorse]

Chaff! I'm a Scot and can't understand why the english insist on adding an 'r' to everything - eg drawring instead of drawing, sawr instead of saw etc.
And it's yog -urt!

 

[ISHmad]

LOL I love this thread! I say chaff btw.
