"So many where do you start...

I quite like "got the time on y'cock?"

Or how about that ole vintage English phrase

"lick m'down batty, bludclawd, innit"

A nods as good as a wink, is quite quaint. Usually used if you're selling some knocked off goods.

Followed by "you're nicked"

It means it’s extra nice , for example if you had a bite of cake and it was nice you’d say it was gurt lush

Last one means something completely different these days!

Bit like "I'm just gonna go freshen up", like you stink now!
