Its interesting that your English slang is geography based here in the US slang is more racially based than geography. You have white guy slang, black guy slang, mexican guy slang etc here. There's crossover of course, but for the most part its racially divided.

bairn - that's an interesting one. Sounds derrived from born which is in effect what a child has gone through heh.
Down 'ere we just have loss of initial consonnants really with regards to pronounciation. Can't really think of many slang phrases in use though.
Yoryt - we have that here... sometimes you just say "aight" which is a shortening for "you alright?", sometimes it's "yaight", sometimes it may be "you'right?" it really depends on the laziness of the person I guess. hehe
Or "hows things?" - whatever things might be haha.
Hehe in linguistics we were doing this study on the infix "f!cking" which was quite amusing. Like how we're able to just shove this word right into the middle of other words. An example we looked at was "ala-f!cking-bama" or "i'll do it to-f!ckin-morrow!" and such! It is quite a strange phenomonen! Probably not really something you think about every day!
