aquascrote 

A type of annoying youth who speeds up and down inland waterways in an inflatable boat with an outboard motor scattering ducks, disturbing other boats and behaving in an excited possibly drug induced frenzied manner. Similar to lads who ride around housing estates on unlicensed off road motorcycles.
Did you seem them aquascrotes? That feller with the pitchfork sorted them!

pots for rags 

In Lancashire it means someone who either has mental illness or impaired capacity for other reasons. The allusion is to the traditional rag and bone man who collected rags in exchange for small trifles such as a jam jar or a balloon. If you were pots fer rags (pots for rags) you would do the reverse of the common sense expected approach.
Since our Tom got hit on head with that brick he’s been pots for rags!

frogshooting suit 

The sort of shiny suit a conman might wear hence the allusion. Slick and dodgy. Slimy.
“I didn’t like that guy at all. He wanted his mitts on my money.”
“Yeah - he was wearing a frogshooting suit. A dead giveaway really.”

skegnestic 

A cold bracing seaside experience like the famous railway poster showing a character on the beach with the caption “Skegness is so bracing”!
Don shivered in the sea breeze. It was definitely skegnestic today.

pisscrete 

The kind of concrete stained by years of being peed on by drunks and scallies like that found in multi-storey car parks and council flat stairwells.
Although it was dark as Kevin climbed the stairs he knew what sort of place it was by the odour of pisscrete in the cold air.
