Childhood memories

Just been reading childhood memories by Fred Foster and he tells the story of his parents seeing him out with a lass and later on his Dad told him she was ‘feh’ (ugly). I have only ever heard anyone use that description before and that was my Dad. Is that a Wigan saying?

Ers as feh as a clog back.Meaning she is ugly.Still hear people saying feh.

It's Spanish !

It's Wiggin!

I'm afraid it's not. It was introduced over here after the Spanish Civil War, by men who had been over there supporting the Catalans against Franco's men.
Along with other terminology, laaaaike! (now, THAT'S Wiggin! )

If you want to know. something ask a Wiganer.

What I've told you, linma, is true.

My F-I-L used to use that word,

Feh is a Yiddish word

Of course there did used to be a lot of Jews in Wigan at one time didn't there,so it makes sense.
