Cockney rhyming, I've always loved it.

An easy one to start you off:

'Allo me old china - wot say we pop round the Jack. I'll stand you a pig and you can rabbit on about your teapots. We can 'ave some loop and tommy and be off before the dickory hits twelve.

No, Markie, you've got it all wrong. London is such a sh*t hole these days that all the Londoners now live in the home counties. Every taxi driver I spoke to down there lived in Kent/Essex and drove in every day.

Thats pretty good for a Manc Danny.

Hello my old mate (china plate) - what do you say we pop around to the bar (Jack Tar). I'll buy you a beer (pig's ear) and you can talk (rabbit and pork) about your kids (teapot lids). We can have some soup (loop de loop) and supper (Tommy Tucker) and be gone before the clock (hickory dickory dock) strikes twelve.

What about Wakefield slang....ay up lad  

[Danny]

some of our northern slang can be multi-context though, while i'm tired I'm not capable of thinking up any examples!!

[Joneyentee]

There's Northern ... then there's Wigan-ese! Or even worse/better from just down t'road in Leigh (pronounced Leeth??) eg Yes = Yar   hungry = Clempt???  :-?  :-?
I've lived (almost) all my life in't North but having recently started work in Wigan I'm still learning a whole new language

[Danny]

it's more "layth" i think

i got a lot of mates over in leigh, worked in wigan for about 5 years, promotion took me to leigh for 3 years, then being dumped by my girlfriend made me want to get out of leigh like it was riddled with infection!!

working in bolton now!!

the common wigan (and surrounding areas) accent is no joke though, the rough ones talk like they have toilet roll in their mouths!!

Yes I think you're right

working in bolton now!!

A bit better I suppose
