I once had to do a translation from spanish where the word to be translated was a slang word for sandwich, so I, thinking I'm being clever, used 'butty'... unfortunately my tutor, who was Icelandic, didn't understand so I got marked wrong!

Although in North London, cockney slang is rife!

Clouts are clothes in Yorkshire, some of the slang words must be interchangable e.g we have sculleries for kitchens too. The most colourful ones seem to be the Geordies. Gallowas are horses up there if I'm not mistaken and my aunties often said to me 'haway hinny or hen', whereas we say 'cum 'ere love' in Yorkshire.
