The thing is, the same is true for every region of the country.
In the area of North London I grew up in bang meant either fight or sex. More often than not it was used to refer to sex.
When I moved to Burnley, I had an argument with my step-daughter and she told me she was going to bang me.............My jaw hit the floor and it took my then new wife to explain that up here it means punch!!!!!

I have a copy of the Dictionary of Housey Slang, printed mid 60's I believe. Based on something from the beginning of the century.Ruthie-Baby wrote:well you wouldn't because you weren't somewhere else...Great Plum wrote:My favourite was baffed
I don't recall bocker being used anywhere else...
didn't "they" bring out a dictionary of CH terms that no one recognised, sometime in the mid-90s?
Must have it somewhere. Then I can check up on bockers, which I had forgotten all about until it occurred here
