One which I hadn't heard until we moved up to Cheshire from the south of England (but also used in Shropshire) is "maithering" - i.e making a fuss.
And also, having been used to "keep your hair on" (meaning calm down) we now had in Cheshire/Shropshire "he really gets his hair off" (meaning he gets very upset)!
