Is there an interpreter in the house? I’ll trade two PDT to BST conversions for a translation on this. PLUS - I'll throw in free shipping.
This says it is a Yorkshire saying, but then we have this who quotes it from the late Gracie Fields (not Field as they have it) who was a Lancastrian.
That said, the first link's explanation is probably the correct one, but I doubt if anyone has used the saying in the last century or so.
