Regional sayings and the like.

As mrs Moosey hadnt heard the word Mush for ages, it got me to thinking about other words which are slang for the real thing plus sayings. I'll kick off.I,m from Chatham in kent and I think these are mostly from my area.
The Chat = the dole office
Jank or squirt = fuel
Jook = dog
Dockyard gloves ( a personal fave) -= hands in pockets
Handful= £500.00
Chav ( originated down here)
Some of these may be used all over but lets hear yours.
