..I don't really know any Suffolk slang words as such because I'm not from here but they do have an expression that a few people say, which is 'on the huh' which I think means lopsided or something and people with Suffolk accents tent to always pronounce 'u' as 'oooo' so humour is said as hoomer etc...it's more the way the words are pronounced ...I'm going to the shop/I'm going to the sharp....
