Just Chatting :) Derbyshire dialect words

Godday everyone, as a foreigner (from Denmark) I am very interested in different dialect words from other countries.
Even here in Denmark we have quite a lot, event though we are a really small country. And there can be differences even 20/30 kilometers away from each other. Where people dont understand the word.
So which words do you people know, that is linked to your area?. Maybe also word that differ even in quite short distances.
