Summary
Which Manc words have survived over time? We look at the work of journalist and poet Samuel Bamford, who created an ambitious collection of words from the Victorian city and its surrounding towns, and we also make some surprising discoveries about expressions that are still used today. We’ll talk about the poets, actors, comedians and singers - from Gracie Fields to Victoria Wood to Liam Gallagher - who have kept Greater Manchester idioms at the forefront of popular British culture. Finally, Chris, Dean and Yakub also try to separate stereotypical expressions (do people still say ‘mad for it’?) from the real language used by Mancunians in the 21st century..
