"I'm gonna jib it on the Met"
I am going to ride on the Metrolink without paying for a ticket.

"Swags on?!"
Could I have a sip of your drink please, Sir?


Also when I was at uni nobody knew what "waggin' it" meant (as in skiving school/work).

Yorkshire and Lancashire say nowt too, not just Manchester.
