It has faded a bit since I've been at Warwick, but comes out when I'm drunk, or back home for anything more than a week.

yarate - are you alright?
ay, ayin' - have, having
'om - home
guwin - going

mardy - prone to taking offense or getting upset...
ey up! - can mean many things depending on the context e.g ey up yarate (hello), ey up ay ya got the time? (excuse me), also used to express shock or anger (like shouting oi! )
