This abomination was spotted in town, hence the thread showing disgust

Might be a big fan of guitar players, but with poor spelling ability.

I've never heard anyone refer to Town as Manny. Ever!

From my experience it seems to be people from the satellite towns rather than Manchester itself, doesn’t sit right with me, in fact if anyone says Manny to me I find them immediately irritating, which I know is irrational, but still, it’s fuckin Town !

Grew up in Droylsden, if we were going into Ashton we'd say we were going into Ashton, if we we were going into Manchester we'd say we were going into town.

 

[DavidWhitesBoots]

Town or Manchester. Manny is for the unwashed I'm afraid....

 

[manimanc]

Is there a reason we refer to it as town considering it’s a city ?

Because we're all townies.

 

[WEMBLEY76]

Once heard someone from Heywood call it Manny.

Manny is a bassist from the stone roses and other bands. He is also a rag.

The city centre is Town all day long. I've not HEARD anyone use 'Manny' as a reference to Town but I've seen it in comments on youtube and that.
Fucking loved Town as a kid. Getting on the 100-109 buses from Northern Moor and having to go through Moss Side thinking we were gonna get duffed upon the bus. haha. We never did...I ended up knowing loads of the lads from there from school. Got a knife pulled on me in Ancoats though...just walking through.
Who remembers that smell in the Arndale Market?

Isn’t a Manny a Bloke who provides childcare?

People who say manny are all soft southern twats responsible for the gentrification of our city. When I was at uni ten years ago all those not from the north west said manny. Knocked me sick then, still does now. Town.

Once heard a pilot on the tannoy referring to it as “Manch” whilst flying to Ringway from Greece in the early 90’s.


I think that’s even worse.

I remember turning to my mate and saying “did that **** actually just say ‘Manch’?”

 

[WestGorton]

It's not Manc either. We are Mancunians.

 

[davyhulme blue]

Heard the used just once or twice when a kid. Cringed at then, cringe at it now.

I agree but I cringe when I hear Manc

 

[Blue Mist]

Spoken by yonners
Insulting to Mancs

It's Manchester, and especially known as Town

Those using manny can get stuffed


With love from Gorton, Manchestoh :-)

They just call it the big place with people and electricity I believe.

Never heard the term - I actually thought this was an rip thread for some **** out of the stone roses or something when I saw the title.

Barm

Is the correct answer.
“Barm of the North” or “Barm City” would be a perfect nickname for our great City
