clemmy?

 

seen the answer above by the way, was just thinking I remember using the word clemmy as a kid, but google throws up surprisingly few answers for it!

maybe hoying clemmies is something I imagined?

 

[Alex 35083]

Never heard that. Although it did remind me of an interesting conversation I had where I tried to explain to a southerner what a ‘heed th’ baal’ is

it's bizarre, google seems to imply clemmy as being a hartlepool/north yorkshire word although there is reference to it in a northern echo article.

seems it made its way fleetingly to a tiny part of whickham/sunniside area half a century ago!

I’ve heard ‘clem’ for Stone as in weight, ie 14 clem, when I think about it. Quite recently though, not something I’d have used as a kid

 I’ve always used choss to mean mucky. 
When was in to climbing, if a route had lots of muck or sand on it ( usually washed out from above by rain) you’d say it was a bit chossy or full of choss. 
Never heard it used as you say though.
