I've been fortunate to have lived and worked up and down this lovely country, and as an outsider, i've come across some hilarious regional expressions i'd never heard of before 
Share with me some of your best so I can continue with my cultural enrichment |

The one am always hearing is "the immigrants are stealing our jobs" You've got to be a moron if someone from a third world country with next to no education can steal your job |

It’s a West Mids one- everyone knows the Wrekin!
Bist is old Black Country, guess that one was part of a langu exchange programme as my old nan used it a lot.
I’ll chuck in another, more recent West Mids saying- Bostin, Steve Austin! (For those old enough to remember the $6m man) |

"G uses the phrase 'no brigs' (no problem). She claims she picked it up during time in Hull, but I've never heard anyone else use it.
I reckon she made it up. "
I'm from Hull and I've never heard anyone say that. People say "No BIGS" or "No Biggy" as in "no big deal" |

In the village I’m in now, it seems that everyone says “in I” for confirmation that they’ve done/felt something etc xx |

A janggly - a lady from a certain part of Cheltenham, they almost always wear big hoop earrings that jangle. They have a reputation for being free with their affections.
Bar - a pound
So this Janngly tapped my up for 20 bar the other day. Shan’t tell you what she did for it |

My all time favourite is some of the phrases I’ve heard welsh people say
Whose coat is this jacket?
I’ll be there now in a minute
Where you too?
Where to you going?
I’ll have to spend more time with my Welsh family to be reminded of more.

"I'm fairly new to Lincolnshire and keep hearing people say 'Im not mardy'. Can anyone shed some light please ? "
Not sure about it's meaning in Lincs but in the Black Country mardy means moody, sulky, stroppy. |

More Black Country expressions -
Council pop = Tap water
Stripey 'oss = Zebra
Donnies = Hands (when speaking to a young child)
A piece = A sandwich
Reisty = Dirty
Suck = Sweets (if a Black Country wench asks if you want a suck make sure you confirm what she's offering before you flop your cock out, could be quite awkward if she was talking about her bag of midget gems!)  |

"Keen as mustard
I heard this for the first time only this week! A colleague was complaining about a "bird" he'd met on a night out who seemed "keen as mustard" then stopped showing interest. Perhaps it's the expression or the way he said it...I found it hilarious! "
In fairness thats a new one on me! |

It's dannies in South Yorkshire. I was surprised when I came to the Midlands and heard donnies for the first time.
Black breet - absolutely filthy
Acky - filthy
Snicket - a ginnel
