Here's some Manc chat to get the ball rolling;

Skennin = looking at
Do one = go away
Moochin' = walking around
Sidein'= tidying up
Tunin' in = beating someone up
Safe = good
Well safe = very good
Mint = excellent
Buzzin' = excited/high on drugs
Scoop = a beer
Dibble/5-'0' (as in; five-oh) = the Police
Napper - head
Melon = brain
Lamp/one arra/spark out - to render someone unconscious with one blow
Mitherin' (pronounced; mythurrin.) = to bother/annoy.
Panhead/spanner = someone thick
Give it the shoes/leg it = to run away

example;

I was moochin' round town the other day, when I saw this panhead skennin' me.
I told him to do one, but he wouldn't stop skennin'.
He was really doing me melon in...looked like he'd had a few scoops or buzzin' off his napper, so I tuned him in and sparked him right out with one arra.
Right then the Dibble showed up mitherin' so I give it the shoes and legged it.
