A haircut — and the slap on the head you got after one.

Chewing gum.

Manc greeting — 'what are you saying?'

Imaginary medal for doing the bare minimum.

Underpants (Mancunian); also clothes generally.

Your head — Manc for the thing on top of your neck.

Great, brilliant, top-tier — Manc seal of approval.

Trousers — or, depending on company, underpants.

A sandwich. That's it. That's the post.

Absolutely knackered — done in.

Starving — the kind of hungry that makes you snappy.

Desperate for a drink — throat like sandpaper.

'Right' — also an intensifier meaning 'very'.

Soft — especially someone who feels the cold easily.

A whinger — someone who moans, sulks or cries too easily.

Manc term of endearment — mate, pal, love.

Underpants.

Get stuck in. Stop faffing and start.

Brain-fried — too wrecked or knackered to think straight.

Rank, grim, properly disgusting.

To say hello — or to acknowledge you know someone.

A fart.

A worthless, low-life little toerag.

Stingy, mean — or a dodgy knock-off.

Get lost — as in 'swivel on it'.

Skint — pockets empty, wallet shut.

A bread roll. Don't call it a bap.

Get told off, get in proper trouble.

To starve — to be ravenously hungry.

'Here you are' — said when handing something over.

Manc for 'what's happening?' — a greeting.

Plural 'you' — talking to more than one of yer.

A playful, sing-song thank-you.
