I have some class ones from the 7 Bus over the years. Here's a starter.
Down: dowen, dowin, dowan...no that's not a Status Quo song.
There are a few universal words used around here.
"sconehead" (how's it going head)
"storybud" (that's when somebody is walking past and you want to tell them your story but they're gone, bud.)
"awlryman" (that's when somebody is walking past and you want to tell them you're alright but they're gone, man.)
"whassup" (that's when somebody is walking past and you want to tell them what's up, but they're gone)
