Mancunian Dialect

[BluePurgatory]

A babys head = Hollands steak and kidney pudding.

Is this not Wigan or some other shit hole like it?

A pudding is not a pie!

Just came across the thread so apologies if any of this has been said already.

'You've got a bazzin set of jamas on there, son' - You are wearing a particularly nice pair of pyjamas, my son.

'Get yer kecks on, mate, we're gonna 'ave a pint.' - Put your trousers on, friend,we're going to the local pub for a glass of beer.

'Anyone got any skins?' - Does anybody have a cigarette rolling paper to spare?

Tater ash - Potato Hash, i.e. a stew of potatoes, meat, carrots, onions etc

Fuckoed - A bit too drunk/stoned/anything else

Pillock - (Unsure if this is a Manc word but my dad says it all the time) - Total idiot.

Fingerpud - Masturbation from a male on a female , e.g. 'Did you get any fingerpud?' , meaning, 'Did you manage to masturbate that nice young lady this evening?'

There can be many derivatives of this, depending on the circumstances. For example:

Fingerpie
Fingerminger etc....


Minger/Munter - Someone who is unattractive

Cabboed - i.e 'Cabbaged', meaning 'Fuckoed', that is, a bit too drunk/stoned/anything else


'Pack it in!' - Stop it, now. You are making a fool of yourself.

 

[Stoned Rose]

scran / scrannage - food

bobbins - shit

mustard / mint - brilliant

skriking - crying or moaning

mitherin - irritating or annoying someone

five-o - the police

jekyll - snide
moody - rough (as in a rough area or rough pub)

safe - ok / thanks

nipper - baby / youngster

there are probably hundreds more

So Mancs make up ryhming slag now.

Never said we 'made it up' just that it's used in Mcr. Which it is.

 

[Colliahhh]

Cruckle- when you go over on your ankle.

Think this one might be uniquely Rochdale though spoke to loads of people who have no idea what it is.

 

[StrangewaysHereWeCome]

iyoh, yaarite?

Well hello, how the devil are you old chap?

Only this. Work down south and when I greet my colleagues I am forever met with an expression of confusion and a tentative " Yes, I am fine" and one finds oneself saying "oh aye, I know you're alright, mate am just saying " yaaarite?" I wish thed learn to speak proporleh!

the ultimate Manc word is MUFFIN, only Mancs call it a muffin

I asked my southern Mother in law yesterday if she wanted a barm, and she didnt know what I meant.
The one that always got her daughter was when anyone said "after"
As in "I will do it after."
She would always ask - after what?

Seeing it on anther thread reminded me: numb as a piss stone.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Some of these words bring back memories.My Mums from Ashton/Stalybridge and my Dad's from Urmston and they used and still use them today.Don't hear the kids of today using them though.

 

[urban genie]

probably already mentioned but scrote originates from us and appparently so does it's all gone pear shaped. using me instead of my as in where's me hat

on a side note when I worked down in the channel Islands it was pointed out by others from other parts of the country that us mancs seem to add a swear word in most sentences, I dismissed this as bollocks until a few mates visited a few years in and you noticed that fuck, bollocks, bastards etc. seemed to creep in to most conversations when not needed, personally think it's a national trait no a Mancunian one myself

 

[simonk]

yeah, my missus was a bit shocked to hear how often cvnt and tw@t would be used without any real aggression - and this cvnt ere said - when pointing to a mate.
Shes from Bletchley and they were strong angry words to her
