Ahh yer g'ert wazzock

By mizz spent youth

The verb 'To Waz' in northern English dialect means to urinate. In both West Yorkshire and East Lancashire, offal was very popular and when produced en masse the offal was cooked in linens resembling large pillows and were referred to as 'socks'. These prevented the offal from burning and being ruined when coming in to direct contact with the base or sides of its cooking vessel. Unsurprisingly these linens absorbed the odour of the offal (which is similar to urine) and were discarded. They were colloquially referred to as 'Waz Socks'. The derogatory sense of a 'Wazzock' to this day refers to someone discarded of having any point, purpose or worth.

Idiot used in a fun way - I was told the word in the Mid 1960's by a man from Sheffield who claimed to have been using the word for years

Stop it You stupid Wazzock

By Bob Lawe

Mild insult, one who is foolish, one who has made an arse of themselves, one who is rather daft.
