25 Things Only People From Yorkshire Will Understand

23. Outsiders Getting Offended When You Call Them Cock

"Please yourself, cock." "EXCUSE me?" Little does the person on the receiving end of "cock" know it's actually a term of endearment. We're not calling them a farmyard animal, and we're definitely not saying they're the, ahem, other definition.

22. The True Meaning Of Mardy Bum

Everyone knows the words; not so many know it was coined in good old Yorkshire, meaning a sulky so-n-so. Let's not forget the Arctic Monkeys are from these parts either. We're not saying they're awesome because they're from Yorkshire, but... it's probably because they're from Yorkshire.

21. We've Given Birth To Boromir, Sharpe And Ned Stark

Never underestimate the power of a Yorkshireman. This one has been a heroic soldier in the Napoleonic Wars, head of House Stark and the last ruling Steward of Gondor. Sean Bean's sturdy disposition isn't just fictional, though. When out drinking in Camden with Playboy model April Summers, Bean was attacked with broken glass. A true Yorkshire geezer, he declined to attend hospital, walked back into the bar and ordered another pint. Go on, Seany boy!

20. And Let's Not Forget Captain Jean-Luc Picard

The Trekky from Mirfield: the one and only Sir Patrick Stewart. Not only is he the infamous Captain Picard, the grand bald Yorkshireman is also Professor Charles Francis Xavier: leader and founder of the X-Men. No biggie.

19. We Have Place Names Like No Other

This one has to be spoken in a REALLY over-the-top Yorkshire accent, or it just doesn't sound right. Let's not forget Wetwang, Penistone, and good old Slack Bottom.

18. Yorkshire Does T'Best Beer

Nothing is more horrifying than buying a beer down South. A fiver for a pint?! Daylight bloody robbery! And as for further North - unless you like Stella or Carlsberg, you're gonna go thirsty. York boasts one of Britain's best beer scenes, so there's no point going anywhere else for a swift 'un. The York Tap alone houses 18 cask ales, 2 cask ciders and 12 rotating world beers and ciders. While you're at it, you can grab a scrummy pork pie from Robinson's of Knaresborough. What's more, it's situated slap bang in the middle of York train station. Perfecto.
