Down in Cornwall, the slang is as windswept and salty as the coast itself. Old Cornish words still creep into everyday chat, and "dreckly" is less a word and more a philosophy of life.
Proper job
A warm Cornish bit of praise for something done properly and turned out right. You can say it for a repair, a meal, a day’s graft, whatever’s been handled with care and came out bang on. It’s approving without getting all chest-thumpy about it. If the work speaks for itself, proper job does the trick.
Ansome
Cornish dialect for handsome but used far more broadly to mean lovely, beautiful, or really great. It can describe a sunset over the coast, a well-built boat, a cream tea, or a genuinely good person. Often paired with proper for maximum enthusiasm. Proper ansome is as good as it gets in Cornish compliments and covers everything from scenery to scones.
Wasson
A proper Cornish hello meaning what’s up, what’s going on, or just alright. It’s an easy little opener you chuck out when you see someone you know, in the shop, outside the pub, through a van window, wherever. Most of the time nobody’s after a deep answer. Another wasson back does the job nicely.
Chopsy
Means mouthy, gobby, or talking too much. Someone who is chopsy has opinions on everything, shares them loudly, and does not know when to stop. Used across South Wales with a mix of affection and exasperation. Being a bit chopsy is tolerated. Being properly chopsy after a few pints will eventually get you told to shut it, butt.
Dreckly
A very Cornish way of saying I’ll do it eventually, just not right this second and definitely not to anyone else’s stopwatch. It comes from directly, but in local use it drifted off, had a sit-down, and lost any real sense of urgency. Dreckly could mean in a minute, later on, tomorrow, or when the stars, kettle, and mood line up.
