It’s what they all say in Glasgow, unless it’s a stranger you called him Jim when I was a lad, god knows why an a woman was always mrs, misses

For some strange reason we always used to say it 3 or 4 times as in “Arite pal, pal, pal” in a slightly bad impression of a drunk jock accent ! 
Silly really but it’s just something we did.

I think it’s an age thing too, there certain things an older bloke can get away with saying that a young bloke can’t and vice versa.

But that said, anything Birmingham just sounds like gobbledygook! Lol

If you want to hear something really hilarious and toe curling in equal measure it’s some young bloke from rural Ireland trying to talk all black London Street……some older lad said to my boy when he was out with his mates a few weeks back:

”Wat you looking at fam, don’t stare at me fam, I’ll mess you up” in some shit wog/Irish accent ! 
The bloke was white !

My boy burst out laughing and just said “f**k off you prat” lol

Alright surry,  is another popular one around here

Quite interesting where some of these come from. 

Where does 'duck' come from?

 

Firstly the word “duck” as a term of greeting has nothing at all to do with the winged bird of the same name.

 

It is said to find its origin in the Saxon word ‘ducas’ which was meant as a term of respect; similar to the Middle English ‘duc’, ‘duk’ which denotes a leader, commander; from which comes the title ‘Duke’ and the Old French word ‘ducheé’ - the territory ruled by a Duke.

From these origins it became a greeting and then a term of endearment. This use of ‘duck’ as a greeting is not restricted to the Potteries; although the use here is very common. It is still used an many parts of what was Mercia. Even though they have very different dialects from the Potteries the greeting is used in the Black Country, in Derbyshire, as far east as Warwickshire and Nottinghamshire. In Yorkshire the main term of greeting is ‘luv’ but in Sheffield, which is close to the Yorkshire – Derbyshire boarder the greeting ‘Ey up mi duck’ can be heard.

 

In Midsummer Nights Dream Shakespeare uses the phrase ‘O dainty Ducke: O Deere!” as a term of endearment.

Your excused mate you smoke meat

[kanny 20,668]

“Surry” meaning friend as in “ ‘Ay up surry, ‘ars biznes” – Hello friend, how’s business (as Bennett noted in his short story ‘His worship the goosedriver’ in the Five Towns business takes the place of weather as a topic of salutation). Surry (also spelt sirrah or surrie) is derived from an obsolete form of sir – used as a form of greeting or address – ‘yes sir’  ‘how are you, sir’ – it gained an extra syllable ‘ah’ when spoken in general conversation and became ‘sirrah’.
