I lived away from Manchester for 6 years and I used to love coming home to hear Mancunianisms.........

My favourite above all has not yet been mentioned .

TOERAG.......preceded by "You fuckin....." can be heard shouted in most school yards, parks and High streets in Manchester on a daily basis.

Shit a brick.

 

[preston_blue85]

Both words and phrases i've grown up using, although people used to say 'brickin' it' in Preston

 

[goat boy]

ee-ar, yo (a request for your immediate attention)
on top (said when a situation becomes worrying)
to go under (to become miserable, depressed- i.e. 'the party was fucking shite, it proper sent me under)
proper (i.e really)
gaff (one's abode)

I'd come up with 'scran' as well, but I see that Stuart has stolen my thunder.

"Trouble at th' Mill."

OK, not a word but a phrase. One of my distant relations coined that phrase in a book that he had published years ago and it has been used many times since in other works.

I still hear people saying it today (myself included).

 

[Kippaxian]

Had some funny looks with this bit I am convinced that when you do scissors paper stone, you say something like:

Sizz Bar, Sizz Bar Brick (??) whilst flapping your hand

Maybe just me then........................!! Nobody anywhere seems to know this! Must have been a Cranwell Drive, Burnage thing!
