Mankin Or Manking

[dnadin0]

When I was a lad (many years ago) living in Sheffield, when I said I was going out with a lass, my Dad used to say " No manking "
I know what he meant, but where does the saying come from ?

[grasscarp]

I can only find a reference in Urban dictionary which has it meaning same as the f word! I have never heard of it before.

There is this

Mankin'
(v)To seek and fornicate with fat, gross and/or filthy females. syn...Hogging.
It was apparent he was drunk and desperate by the caliber of female he had taken home. He was mankin' tonight. And for the record, we were hoping, for his sake, that he was drunk and desperate.

Things that were 'manky' weren't very nice.

And i'm not referring to things-Mancunian

On a similar note, were the people at 'Victor Book for Boys' having a larf when they created 'Alf Tupper - the tough of the track'?
