Mon

Pronounced similarly so that it rhymes with 'bomb' or 'gone', A 'Mon' is an individual from the Cheshire region of the Uk who is characterised with a high interest in tractors.

They are typically not an actual expert in farming per se, thier love for tractors and associated machinery are thier only areas of interest.

The word 'Mon' is derived from 'Man' and designed to emulate the more slack jawed speech of the rural population of the area. It is typically incorporated into a greeting as follows: "Alreet (country slang for alright?) me (my) mon"

Many non-countryside influenced individuals use this way of addressing each other in order to sound simulator to the inhabitants of rural areas of cheshire i.e Nantwich, Malpas, Audlem etc.

"Alreet me mon, me john deere's PTO shaft has broken"

Or

"Can I lend a 3/4" socket for me Land Rover mon?"

Having it Down

To 'Have something down' is to take a penil, pen or similarly sized and shaped cylindrical object and place it on the back of the middle finger with the other fingers resting ontop while said hand is rested flat on a table or other flat surface. Then the sportsman will raise the free hand above the pen. With a fast and sharp motion, the free hand is slammed down palm first on the back of the lower hand. The pen will then be snapped over the back of the middle finger. It can be relatively painful for those in the persuit of such sport.

The challenge is to break as many pens, pencils or other objects as possible in one go.

"I bet you cant 'ave that down"

"Jeez, Glynn... that's a fountain pen"

"Bugger it, I'll be having it down"
