I read an article in The Mercury about it one July fortnight many years ago, so I suspect quite a few folk do know.

You expect the Mercury readers to remember?

Always been known as 'chisits' by the skeggy crowd. I've always referred to those in Skeggy as 'cabbage-crunching-inbred-halfwits' so i think its only fair.

Someone should link this 'orphaned' wiki page to Matt Piper....

Perhaps that should be reworded to: Only known as 'chisits' by the skeggy crowd.

Should link to a snippet of Matt Piper passing comment on Lloyd Dyer's finishing technique.

Ive been called a chisit by people from many different places other than skeggy.

i thought it was fairly common name for Leics folk?

I've never heard of the term before in relation to people from Leicester but "Emma Chisit" is a very famous Australian, see this.

If something of the Leicester accent has to be 'picked on', I'm surprised it isn't the habit of opening up the vowel at the end the end of words, e.g. Lestoh Citeh.

I've always been aware of the nickname, but never heard it used....probably because its shit

With a depressingly downward inflection.

Aware of most of this apart from chisit. I also take issue with mardy, surely this should be mardeh.

Why do they have to compare some words with northerners and some with southerners. we're Midlanders and proud of it. English started in the Midlands and quite possibly Leicester according to linguologists.

English wasn't 'started' in the Midlands, northern Europe if it was started anywhere.

I haven't got a fecking clue what a 'linguologist' is, but I'm pretty sure the dialect that was adopted as Standard English was from the south-east, not the Midlands. I presume that's what you're talking about?

And I'm pretty sure that you are wrong. :icon_bigg

you don't like the word "linguologist"? thought it sounded pretty good myself. all new words start somewhere.

by the way what "English" do you think I'm talking about?
