Boi, bor, buh 22:07 - Dec 21 with 1582 viewsdominiciawful

Is there some kind of geographical split in this area on the useage of the above terms?

I was a boi. East side of Ipswich, the Heath Lane & Copleston massive innit. I use buh on here though as I’m a cunning linguist.

Boy, from what I understand, is a more north Suffolk and Norfolk term.

Not sure I've heard many of the other variants from the mad, bad borderlands.

Indeed, the ever-reliable Suffolk Dictionary only lists 'bor' as an entry...

I started using the variations to mock my Suffolk sounding friends when I was young.

And over time it became normal to address mates in that way.

Bloody social conditioning.

West of Ipswich, it’s definitely ‘buh’.

I’m prone to using both, while despite having the ‘south Suffolk’ accent, I.e Ipswich, not broad Suffolk, blends into North Essex, I do like an ‘alright b’ and an ‘Allo booiii’ when greeting mates!

My dad 90 years in Ipswich is a 'boi'. His mate similar age from Sudbury/Hadleigh is definitely a 'buh'
