Mancunian Dialect

Being an aging Dorset Blue,It's been quite amusing over the years,hearing certain sentences on 'Granada' based programmes and not understanding what the fuck they meant.Now we have the 'Google' age,and most things are findable,my favourites were always 'On me uppers' and 'Bobbins',certainly never used in my part of the UK.

Most of the people on this board are mancunians (including myself) so lets introduce our overseas blues to our way of speaking.

e.g.

1: ey up duck/chuck (also, alright mate) = hello
Ey up duck? What part of Manchester are you from?
That was my first thought, sounds Stokey to me.



Are y' right or what?

jibbin - travelling or entering without paying

Hate the way the youth of today have changed the meaning of this word now.

My mate stood up to leave the other day and said "alright mate im jibbin off home"

Madness.

Does anyone know the word "Raungin"(spelling) as in constantly moving about and being fidgity.my mum used to say this to me and my sis when we were kids,but whenever ive said it most people including mancs have never heard of it.

Proper Manc word this, I love it. Means lazy fidgeting and making the place look untidy.


glad a few know this word,was startin to think me mam had made it up.
