Everywhere is the same though, like in Liverpool used 'Boss' for good, which could be grating. Ireland I hear: 'Sound out' for cool, 'Hello, you well' for just hello, and various others. Some are annoying and some are quite good.
I prefer using 'reception' as opposed to 'Signal' for my mobile. Also baseball terminology is also quite good too, 'in the ball park' etc... I dis agree with the bbc article that people would not know where the baseball phrases would come from.
