The north-south divide again - I remember being totally gobsmacked once at university when a friend (Lancashire, I think) went into her room to see what her boyfriend was up to. She came out again and said "We won't bother him now, he's hard on."   My jaw dropped. She then explained that it meant he was fast asleep ...
How about "collywobbles"?
