Initials of Preston North End, an English football (soccer) team. Fans of the team often use the initials especially in songs and chants during the games.
c1955 Jow (verb) was used by my Lancashire grandmother meaning to knock or bang. Example: (as an admonition to naughty grandchildren)"Behave or I'll jow your heads together!"
sidecourser: (noun) word used by my Lancashire (UK) grandmother to denote pavement or sidewalk. Dialect word or may have its roots in Irish use of the language?
