Default Word Delicacies

Some words from the dictionary of my province.

BALLYCATTER-ice hanging over the shore when the tide goes out,

BRAZEN-Bold or without shame (that youngster is brazen)

GIDDY-Dizzy

GRAPNEL-A type of boat anchor

PUNT-Long narrow flat bottom boat much like the Cajun pero.




To many Mainlanders (From anywhere but NFLD)they have a hard time understanding the dialect as many people speak very quickly as well as different words coming from a mix of Irish and Scottish with English and a touch of French.
