Dictionary

Help would be appreciated here....
Over the years I've noticed a few words that I don't hear in other counties. I'm sure there's loads more and it'd be great to hear of them.
The first few I can remember are;

Pingle = To play with your food
Jiffle = Fidget, especially in bed
Chimbly = Chimney
Hod-a-nod = Snail (house on his head?)
Nobby = Clever, all about. (caused a few remarks when mentioned in front of my wife)
Gone Out = Mad, weird

I'll update this as i find more.
