To Slug - To Poke (one's privates)
If you said you'd slugged someone I'd think you'd punched them.
Hi. I think this one depends on the region. I'm certain I've heard that expression with that exact connotation. The girl asked the guy to "stop slugging her". They were kissing, and something else was going on down there.

Motor - Car
Don't think we really use motor.
That's probably Scotland-only too. For one, a friend from Scotland told me some time ago: "let's hop on my motor and get to see stuff".

Half-arsed - Upset
To do something half-arsed is to not put much effort in and do a bad job.
You're right. Half-arsed = Half Baked. I am probably wrong about this one.

Nesh - Stupid
My dad always calls me nesh if I say I'm cold, as in not very tough.
I'll check this one.

Nancy boy - spoiled
Always thought that one was a guy who was feminine or gay.
Oh. I'm probably wrong about this one too. Sorry!

Necking - Looking for [Manchester]
Necking to me would be making out / kissing. For looking I might say having a decko, a skeg or a ratch.
I heard once from a Mancunian friend: "I was necking mushrooms" = Looking for mushrooms.

Properly [Manchester, Liverpool] - "A lot", "Very much" ("properly happy")
That one made me laugh, never noticed before that I often call things "proper good"

Yes, I reckon that goes unnoticed to many.
Thanks for all the pointers.
Cheers!
