Ruby = Ruby Murray. Curry.
My old old father in law used to say Cowson, a far bit, especially at things that weren’t cooperating, like a car that wouldn’t start. “Come on, you bleeding cowson!”
An old workmate used to make up rhyming slang. He’d say things like, “‘Ere, pass me the Harold’s”. Harold’s = Harold Wilson’s, Stilsons. (A Stilson wrench is a type of adjustable spanner for those who don’t know).

Back in the day "Alroight moi luvver?" seemed to cut across age/gender/everything in the West Country.
When I lived in the East Midlands, "Y'riiiiight, yoth?" (youth) was one to be cherished.

Seriously,slang seems to be more generational than regional.
I have absolutely no idea what my late teenage children are talking about.It seems to be a mixture of Internet speak and silly rap type words.
My daughter was wearing a T-shirt with BAE on the front in big letters......I assumed it was some kind of corporate promotional handout.Apparently not.
I have heard the saying......so wanting to be cuddly and on-trend with them I suggested an evening in last weekend (I was trying to get out of taking them to cinema as promised ).I said come on lets stay in and watch something......How about Netflix and Chill. They couldn't stop laughing ...all 4 of them.
I have been put right.
Back in the day, the Linny had an amazing jukebox, bettered only by The Tavern, which pretty much became our local. Some crazy fights used to kick off in Hot Shots behind The Tavern an all, those were the days Tuesday nights in the Rudd's and Sundays in The Dickens were amazing as well. I'm sure you'll know what I mean!
As much as folk will slag the place off and in some ways deserved, Boro was right on the doorstep of some beautiful parts of the world, like the ones you mentioned. That was one thing growing up in Hemo, you could ride your bike or walk 10 minutes and you were into the North York Moors park.

"He was up way bank" meaning "He was up the bank over there". 'Way' was suggesting somewhere in the locality of the speaker but not immediately close.
