The Prophet Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Absolutely grasping at straws here, but Ben Jacobs recently said that if Arsenal opted not to sign Tielemans we were in with a sniff. I wonder if Zinchenko would impact this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never said it myself. Thought it was probably a mining thing, which might have some truth though maybe Viking origins: “Marra, as a slang word for a mate, derives from a local pronunciation of marrow, which has been used to mean “companion” or “workmate” since the 1400s. No one really knows where the word comes from, but it's possible that it might be related to an old Scandinavian word meaning “friendly” or “outgoing”.” Edited July 15, 2022 by Coffee_Johnny Etymology attack… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was more common the further west you went. Definitely. I've lived in Carlisle for the majority of the last 50 years and I've only ever associated the word marra with West Cumbrians. Even raving/djing up and down the country for many years, whenever mentioning Cumbria, I'd always get marra comments. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
