However, a 'beck' has nothing to do with the footballer bloke! Keep guessing!</p><p>Now, your words - 'kecks' are 'undies' or 'trousers' and I think it's Irish English, but I'm not too sure.<br>I have no idea what 'mardy' is though.</p><p>One all so far!!</p><p>ATB</p>AlexWed, 09 Feb 2005 19:13:00 -0000http://www.blogfromitaly.com/another-blog-from-the-living-museum/#comment-2371950<p>Hey, thanks for the mention!</p><p>I thought of doing a post on regional Englishes as well. "Baps" are bread rolls, right? "Becks"? Unless it's something to do with Mr Beckham then I'm clueless.</p><p>Here's two for you: "mardy" and "kecks".</p>RiaWed, 09 Feb 2005 05:02:00 -0000
