When I were a lass growing up in west Yorkshire, and had a proper Yorkshire accent, I would talk of "laking out" with my friends. Which of course comes from old Norse, leke, to play. This has given me the huge advantage of perfectly understanding Norwegian road signs warning me that children are about.

You must work VERY hard to write about such varying and seemingly unconnected things. Well done sir! ❤️👏👏
