Here are a few (cheeky) Yorkshire sayings from 'Teach Thissen Tyke'

Clumsiness or Awkwardness:
'Like orse muck, allus int road!'
'As handy as a duck wi a much fork.'

Laziness:
'Ees that idle ee thinks manual labour's a Spanish Socialist.'
'There's more work in a Beecham's pill.'

Someone who talks too much:
'Tha talks like an alfpenny book baht leaves'
'Tha knows some clog iron'

Restlessness:
'As fidgetty as a fly in a bottle.'

Someone really stupid is:
'Ten pence t' t'shilling'
'Ee couldn't it t'barn door sat ont'sneck.'
'If is brains were dynamite they wouldn't blow is cap off!'
'As thick as two short planks'

Someone considered weak:
'Ee's as strong as chip 'oil vinegar'

Not good looking:
'Ee's a face like a busted clog'

Hungry:
'He'd eat t'oven door if it were buttered'

Nervy:
'Tha's as edgy as a crocodile in an andbag factory.'

and a few words of advice:

'Tha munt ever be t'main man at a weddin or a funeral'
'There's nowt so queer as folk'
'T'truth nivver urt any-one'
