norfolk dialect

From dailt telegraph:
Among those to have been added to the wordbank are bobowler, a Birmingham and Black Country term for a large moth, tittermatorter - or see-saw, in Norfolk - and tranklements, another Black Country expression meaning ornaments.

Some of the words have been in existence for generations. For instance, bishybarnabee ? a Norfolk term for a ladybird ? is thought to derive from a notorious bishop, Edmond Bonner, known as "Bloody Bonner" for his role in the persecution of heretics under the Catholic government of Mary I in the sixteenth century.

The phrase "Bishop Bonner's Bee" is believed to have come into use, either because of the colour of the clothes he wore or because the insect's red and black appearance was associated with blood and death, with which the clergyman himself was associated.

any other norfolkisms? I remember being told not to be naughty "or you will get wrong".
