The Lancashire dialect reverses the 'u' sounds in 'put' and 'putt'.
A Lancastrian gave a lecture to a large mixed class on the Antarctic
expedition led by Sir Vivian Fuchs. He called him Fucks throughout. A
colleague remonstrated after the lecture: "You know his name is Fuchs."
"Oh yes; but I didn't like to say it with all those ladies present."
