Quickly Denki Troopers, we must warn Tokyo!
...means "let's go!"

When I lived in Buckinghamshire, it was "Townies," "Trendies," "Kevs" or "Shazzas"
In Brighton, I discovered "Pikey" was the preferred term.
I then met my boyfriend, who was born in Liverpool, and introdued me to the term "Scallies."
A Welsh friend said "Trevs"
And now I live in Durham, where I hear "Charvers."

Also, I like "sound," "mint," and "champion/champers."

"Howay!" is great as a random interjection, for example - "Howay, the school's burning down. That's mint, that! Canny, like!Howay! Aw, howay!"
Also heard:
"Ah, Mam, man, howay!" and "Ah, woman, man!" as cries of exasperation.

Students as Durham University (AKA "Doxbridge")employ terms such as "Rah" of "Rugger Bugger" to describe the elite of their number. My boyfriend and I have developed the euphemism "let's just say... they were wearing scarves" when mentioning a student-relatedencounter.

My friend Dave says "cumshitter" meaning gay man.

I like to say "fuckmonkey" or possibly "donkey balls" if I make a stupid mistake.

"Shitfuckwank" indicates the start of a period and the girl being "caught short" (as in, it's what you say when you see the blood in your pants). For example, "Honey, would you pass me my bag? It's a shitfuckwank."

"The there" means "sellotape" in my family.

PS I hate the phrase "wizard's sleeve" :s
