What are some common slang expressions used in Northwestern Germany?

Specifically in the city of Bochum and its environs. Are there any idioms that are distinctive? Thanks for your input.

In the Northwest of Germany they are speaking some sort of a mixture of Dutch, English and German. It´s called Plattdeutsch and it is mostly spoken by the older people. Also a slang of the North is Friesisch.
Bochum lies in the Middlewest (!) in a very high populated area called Ruhrgebiet (many Heavyindustries and old Coalmines). In this area the slang is very special. It´s a deep rooted native slang and a little bit snotty. They accentuate the letters L, T and A and swallow some letters like St, E and Z. (But that is not a basic rule there are exeptions)

Example:
Regular German: "Kannst Du Dir das vorstellen?" (Can you imagine that?)
Slang: "Kannse Dir datt voarstelln?"

Reg.German: "Das hatte ich mir ganz anders vorgestellt." (That's not how I'd visualised things. / I visualised that comlplete different.)
Slang: "Datt hatt ich mir janz anders vorjestelllt."
