All of my great grandparents were born and lived in the Stoke on Trent area of Staffordshire. They spoke in a very distinctive dialect and often used words which I have never heard anywhere else. I thought it would be interesting to preserve these words and try to find out more about where they came from.

"Blart"
A child's annoying crying would often be described as "blarting"; "stop your blarting" might be something a frazzled parent would say to their children.
This word probably has the same roots as "bleating" (like a lamb) or even "blurting".
