Mainly Dudley, but i'm sure others use it. but it's still a slang used where I'm from.
if you type in birmingham slang also Wench will come up.

Bonk is a Birmingham word? Maybe I'm just use to it as I hear it everyday but I'm surprised that nobody else uses that word lol.

this video is a really cheesy advertisement... but it uses every slang term from my area of Canada in it... with subtitles... so I will just post it for convenience sake.

In Pittsburgh we have our own dialect (well, more like all of Western Pennsylvania). You can look it up here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wester...lvania_English
By the way, its not soda; its pop. |

When my partner was working at this firm in France, he taught this French guy some useful English words. He didn't tell the guy it was Cockney rhyming slang though. We all met up one evening for a drink and he proudly came up to me and asked me if we could 'bubble and squeak' in English!
I didn't have the heart to tell him but Steve did get a slap from me later!
