During my recent research into Manchester and its culture, I came across this useful definition of what a ‘Manc’ is, courtesy of Urban Dictionary:Manc
Mancunian - Inhabitant of the city of Manchester, Northern England. Unfairly stereotyped as wearing kappa trackies (all chavs wear em, not just Manc chavs), stealing, being gangmembers and acting like Liam Gallagher or as though they're straight out of the cast of Shameless. ALL stereotypes are UNTRUE.

Manchester is the main city in the North and is the 3rd largest city in England. It is the birthplace of Socialism/Communism; many famous people such as Alan Turing, who designed the first electronic computer at the University of Manchester, are Mancunians.
They don't rob everything in sight like scousers. Most peadophiles are from the south and Shipman was from Hyde which is in Tameside, not Manchester. In general, the best kind of people.
Examples of Manc speech:
-I hate them smackhead emos round Urbis.
-Some scouser scallies tried to rob me but I kicked em back down the east lancs, sorted.
-Dead right mate.
So, there you go.
