Thread Name: Folklore: Yorkshire dialect question
Subject: Folklore: Torkshire dielect question
I asked a question on E-ceilidh and no real answer came out of it.
The word is "clogdop" and the context was Barn Dance / Ceilidh.
Does anyone from Yorkshire recognise the word? What region is it from? Does it have a wider meaning?
Or is this too obscure?
Someone thought clod-hop would be related but to me clod-hopping refers to an ungainly gait or wearing heavy boots (or the boots, as in clod-hoppers).
