I shagged this bird down the alleyway....

I always remember using the word guff instead of fart. I've not heard that one in a long time.

I think I'm the only person who still says:

"...as right as ninepence..." - spot on, as in "I'm good. I'm as right as ninepence."

"...bob on..." - spot on, as in "bob on that is"

"...bazzin'..." - dead good, as in "that's bazzin' that is"

"...ballung..." - bang, as in "he hit it and, ballung, back of the net!"

"...shellacking..." - a rout, as in "we give them a right shellacking; 6-1 it was!"

Trendy
Snogging
Shell (to mock someone's misfortune)
Mint (meaning good)

Growing up in Manchester I used to hear these words a lot, but people don't say them much any more.

Any others?

Still use mint all the time! Love it. And mooch.
