That is the first time I have heard my hometown of Blackpool mentioned ( Funnybones is a dark and strangely compelling film) stroppy is a word i use a lot
as is skive , my dad tells me that he first heard "skive"
in the army in the 50's as in "I was supposed to be cleaning the latrines but i managed to skive off"

"stroppy" is what I get sometimes when the dosh,the wedge ,the wonga,the poke runs out and I am left "without a pot to piss in" totally "brassic"
