Loc: UK - Leeds for uni, Merseyside for home!
Well as we're going all British I thought I may aswell add some English things in...baring in mind Im a northener...Linz could probably think of a few southern expressions but heres some I could think of....
Canny...a newcastle word to mean quite/kinda/very/also used as nice....eg 'That film was canny good' or she's a 'proper canny lass'
'sound'...mainly a liverpool expression to say when somethings good/alrite...eg someone might say ....I'll come round to yours later and they might reply 'sound mate, nice one'(this is my brother all the time!)
a 'chava' (said char-va) in liverpool we'd say a 'scally'...basically those rough kids who hang around the street and cause trouble!
'Aye a kna' thats what geordies(people from newcastle) say to mean yes I know...cos they say 'I I know' instead and thats how it somes out in their accent!(Can you tell I live with 2 of them!!)
A lot of people in Leeds seem to say 'innit' instead of isnt it..but even in sentences when technically it doesnt make sense...eg...but she's gona come innit?..instead of isnt she?
Rough scousers (liverpudlians) usually male add 'la' (sed lar) onto their sentences...eg when startin a fight...they'd say...'come 'ed then la'...thats basically means ...come and have a go if you think you're hard enough...they'd also say 'just do one will ya?' meaning get lost and go away!(lovely people arent they!!)
Liverpudlians also call electricity 'the lecky'....eg have you paid the lecky bill yet?
