22 Manc words and phrases that regularly baffle visitors
20.05.2023 - 07:55 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Any visitor to Manchester will have witnessed that we have our own unique way of doing and saying things.
There is a lot to be proud of living in Manchester, from the football, music, culture and fashion to, of course, our humour and swagger. But its also our use of slang words and phrases that make native Mancs easy to recognise in or outside the city.

Example: "Pull your Salfords up."
Manc meaning: A short stocking usually reaching to the calf or just above the ankle (Mancunian rhyming slang: Salford Docks = Socks). Not actually referring to the neighbouring town in this context.
Example: "That
