Taken from the Urban Dictionary

The Black country dialect is very unique. Yam yam derives from 'you am' e.g 'yam coming with me ay ya?'

Re: Black Country Day

I worked with several hundred Black Country men employed on the North Sea gas conversion project - I picked up a lot of bad habits from them, including the remedy for any mechanical device which appeared to be stuck - "ititweeya nommer" .....
