In the past, there were too many words for jumper

Still use several of those, Anaglypta is the embossed wallpaper you usually have under a chair rail.

A Chair Rail is what yuppies rebranded as a Dado.

I'm not your nana but occasionally use the bold words, though the first in jest. Anaglypta is still a current word because it's still stuck on a stack of walls underneath three generations of paint.

I don't think anyone under 80 uses the word "courting".

Flatties - Police

 

[Jon Dough]

Scullery-kitchen.

 

[EchoMan]

Or an expression of doubt heard in Ashington. As in “ye must be jerkin”
