Hoo's ya fettle? 'How are you?'
Y'areet, hinny? 'Are you all right, kid?'
Champion. 'Very good, very well'
Bonny day the day. 'It's nice weather'
Cowld the day, mar. 'It's cold today.'
Whey aye, man. 'that's right'
Give ower, y'a kiddin. 'Come on, you're joking'
Hadaway man. 'I'm still not convinced'
Ya tarkin sh*te. 'I really disagree with that'
Ootside! 'Let's settle this outside'

Translation: I postulate in my sincere opinion that the consensus view of this forum is incorrect, and you ruffians pride brawn over brain power. You seem to have problems articulating yourselves in a manner which is comprehendible. Should you ever take a sojourn to Yorkshire I will endeavour to help you with your emulation of the local language, so you fit in with the other gentle natives of this fair county.
Oh. And if you get it wrong you get thumped.
