Subject: RE: BS: regional uk slang
As it said (somewhat like) from the original OED & its editor.
"language has a very certain centre but a nebulous periphery with increasing uncertainty"
FWIW mardy and got a cob on aka got one on him were common in the English Midlands (Black Country/Walsall)
And the phrase daft 'apeth and the wider adjective saft were common there too.
