Oasis slang uncoded in 'Manctionary' to help global fans ahead of reunion tour

Today, a hilarious new language guide Manctionary has been launched - to teach fans how to speak like a true Mancunian (Gallagher slang included) - targeting the 1.4M fans expected to travel for the Oasis concerts.

As the Britpop legends reunite for one of the most highly anticipated global tours of the decade, it's been revealed that a lot of fans really don't understand theGallagher brothers’ slang.

Launched by GetYourGuide, a leading platform to search and book unforgettable travel experiences, the new guide is in response to its international customer survey, which found that 1 in 3 Oasis fans globally struggle to understand Liam Gallagher.

Australian and Americans struggle the most, with 2 in 5 American and Australian fans admitting they’re often confused over the Gallagher slang. Even closer to home, a shocking 1 in 5 Brits find Liam Gallagher challenging to follow – see how you fare yourself link here.

The ‘Manctionary’ hopes to educate travellers on how to talk the talk (and walk the walk) of the Gallagher brothers, features the slang and phrases used by the band, and locals.

Created by TikTok comedian Freddie Allison who has amassed 3.5 million likes with his ‘How to speak British’ skits, and includes phrases such as “You’ve got a cob on” meaning someone’s in a mood, “Scran’s angin” meaning the food is poor and “Bobbins” meaning rubbish.

GetYourGuide has also curated a list of top local activities that explore the lifestyle of Manchester’s most legendary exports. To celebrate the brothers’ comeback, they are offering a 15% discount for true Oasis fans, leading up to the first night, for activities including a music-themed city walking tour, a Manchester food tour and The Coronation Street Experience.

Spokesperson for GetYourGuide, Benjy Potter, says, “Oasis is the epitome of British pop culture, and like we’ve seen with tours by Beyonce and Taylor Swift, music has the power to positively impact the UK’s domestic and overseas tourism.

“But whilst everyone is rediscovering Oasis, our data shows that so many of us still don’t understand the lingo of the Gallagher brothers. For those not in the know, embed yourself in the culture of Manchester further with our expert guided tours and pick up a phrase or two with GetYourGuide’s tongue-in-cheek ‘Manctionary’.”

The long awaited Oasis’ Live ’25 tourkicks off in Cardiff on July 4 before a run of shows with the 90s Britpop icons in London, Manchester, Edinburgh and Dublin.
