Twerlis

Twerlie (pl. Twerlis) - an older or retired person.

Twerlis - Derived from the phrase many older people ask as getting on a bus in sheffield in the early morning.

Having a elderly persons bus pass gives them cheaper rates, but can only be used after 9AM.

Whilst getting on the bus, and needing to pay they can be heard to say "am I twerlie" - meaning "am I two early to use the bus-pass". And the reply is "yes you're twerlie".
