Whilst browsing through the Archive box of poetry this afternoon, I came across another list of #SchoolSlang or Oundle dialect! #slang #Schooldays #SchoolMemories #ExploreYourArchive
“Tucker”.... the School Tuckshop (now the Staff Common Room).
The 1st one was at the side of the original cricket pavilion & in the early 1900s Margaret Thatcher’s father worked there.

As #Lockdown3 continues, the #BuxtonBear has been glad of some new reading material, as shared by the #DerbyshireRecordOffice 🐻
He ♥️ this excerpt on #Derbyshire #SchoolSlang from Peter Wright's "Derbyshire Drawl; How it is Spoke" book, so thanks for sharing @FranklinArchive 👍
Do you remember any #schoolslang? If you were brought up in Derbyshire maybe you had some troublesome 'wherrets' or 'mardies' in your class! This #localstudies book of #Derbyshire drawl has some great examples. How about a game of Holler?...'If you dunna holler, I shanna foller'.
Today in #SchoolSlang - the 1⃣9⃣8⃣0⃣s
The era of Boy George and Culture Club, 'clothing with a message', Back to The Future and Madonna - popular culture all reflected in creative writing by secondary school pupils. 👾

#SchoolSlang is this week's theme for the @Hurst_Archives collaboration with @SchoolArchives1.
The words featured so far include 'ROOKER' 'PRAGGER' & 'SHELL'. Can the Hurst Foundation community remember any other Hurst slang which is unique to the college? #FromtheArchive

Now that is the Head arriving in style: #throwback to Headmaster of @LPSchool Charles Evans, who was nicknamed "The Duke", supposedly for his upright walk & bearing. The following two Heads were also called this. #FromTheArchive #schoolslang @OldLeightonians
I'm being inventive today and combining #SchoolSlang and #MuseumShelfieDay with this poem in the 1952 Peeps Magazine (ref SMP.27.03.48) written by the remains of the candle on the school museum shelf. What things this little 'bougie' has seen through the years #SchoolArchives
Eton has a variety of slang words that span decades and cover all areas of Eton life. The origins of many are unknown! Here we have an article from 1883 on the origins of the term ‘sock’, which is used to mean edibles. (Chronicle no. 371, Nov 1883)

We asked the College Archivist for her favourite #SchoolSlang, she nominated:
Dry-bob (Cricketers)
Wet-bob (Rowers)
or Slack-bob (Neither)
Here is a photograph of the Wet-bob vs Dry-bob tug of war, 1940. Perhaps with Slack-bobs watching! [PA-A.1:32-2012]

This week’s #FromTheArchives theme is #SchoolSlang, and so we show Winchester College Notions printed in 1901, relating to toys and toytime. @explorearchives @SchoolArchives1
"Breathers": dreaded morning exercises @LPSchool to get boys fully energised for lessons. I believe that was the theory, but having spoken to those who remember it, maybe was not their choice of start to the day. 1927 photo by student S Marriage #FromTheArchive #schoolslang
#FromtheArchive - a little bit of #SchoolSlang describing lashings of bread and butter for #afternoontea. A school tradition still around today but now there is so much more choice prepared daily by the chefs & dining room staff. #food #SchoolHistory #archives #exploreyourarchive
Shoutout also to this pupil from Fitzalan Technical High School in 1967, who shoehorned in all of his favourite 60s music into this piece of creative writing:

In 1964, a pupil at Dunfermline High School discussed the latest fashion trends including mini skirts & Empire Line dresses.
Meanwhile, Notre Dame School reinterpreted the nativity as a 'happening' in 1969 #SchoolSlang #FromTheArchives
Do you know your Homebill from your Banco, or your Sportings from your Tonkabout?
Have no fear the 1958 edition of The Carthusian is here to explain all about our #Schoolslang.
#Fromthearchive @SchoolArchives1
#FromTheArchive this week and its all about #SchoolSlang. This list was helpfully compiled by 3rd formers for new pupils in 1989. Wonder what phrases are still in use?
