Yet another phrase I thought was normal that might not be...

Would you know what I meant if I said to you "Are you framing?"?

(NB. Agreeing that you would know means that [livejournal.com profile] grahamb is wrong, and is therefore a worthy cause in itself.)

No, Liz doesn't make 'em up. She grew up in a household which gathered its more picturesque speech from the North-East, Lincolnshire, the East Midlands/Fens and a clutch of West Riding friends. Ask her what a mookpeark is (you won't want one for Christmas). Now I'm framing to get round to today's paper.

Ah, but how do we know you're actually Liz's mum, and not just Liz herself, posting anonymously to back up her own stories?

Come on then, this is going beyond a joke, what is a mookpeark and am I framing?

Well, she should. By now we couldn't tell.

mookpeark

Nope, we've not got any references to that (nor, apparently, to your version of framing). Find some printed references, and send 'em on in...
