On topic cos you can think of them whilst listening to town on the radio. Thinking about Lodgey saying that they used to call sweets "spogs"
Words or phrases which may or may not be local, but are not used often or are from the olden days. I'll start. (not sure about all the spellings)
Spogs - Sweets Kaylied - Drunk Lammace - Hit Chud mag - Pornographic literature "Throwing a Dougie" - Getting angry Nesh - Soft as shit

Spawny...
Genie - the art of removing the gunpowder from fireworks (preferably things like 'Serpent' (or something similar)), rolling them up in newspaper and lighting them. Usually with the end result being a loss of both eyebrows and half a fringe (I speak from experience)...

"Three and your in" "Cup finals" and "21s". I forget the rules for cup finals.. And was "21" the game where you tried to hit the goalposts or was that something else?
