And I do not like "yous" as a pluralisation, it seems to be central belt as it certainly was not something I was aware of growing up.
I say yous all the time because I grew up in a scummy part of Midlothian

Must be a Yorkshire thing, surprisingly common up here.

Public necrophilia is generally frowned upon, thankfully.

"Outwith" is my favourite Scottishism. Most Scots seem unaware that it's not a word anyone else uses.
Similar with Manc's saying "the next again day" rather than "the day after tomorrow"
I've literally never heard anyone say that in my entire life.
Used to hear it a lot back in my clubbing days when we knocked around with some lads/lasses from Manchester, Ashton & Hyde.
I'm Yorkshire and I've never heard funderal either. That's a weird one

The worst one is all the Cockernees, who instead of saying "3 weeks on Saturday" instead go on about Jellied whelks, up the apples n pears, and hows your father <wink wink> .

All of that
Outwith is a word that gets used a lot in the planning line of work that we deal with though.

Not quite the same, but oop North (Yorkshire like) I do hear the greeting 'now then' quite a bit. Don't recall hearing it anywhere else.

I’ll bet “Now then, now then,now then” isn’t as popular as it once was...
Similar to the Irish “Come ‘ere” or “Come ‘ere to me”
Informal start to a sentence

I say it a fair amount but not as much as "ey up"
