When getting peoples attention, aye.

Not much in the context you’ve posted.

Heard it loads growing up but not so much now.

 

[YohanKebab]

Pit villages it's more "ew", but unfortunately after living here my whole life, it does sneak into my vocabulary

 

[Big Jeff]

I don’t use hew or bavvy

They both sound rather common. I prefer “excuse me” and “Barry”.

I feel seen...

I do use 'how man', usually when not happy and shouting to get someone's attention. Thankfully in Hetton we still remember to pronounce the letter 'H' unlike our towny brethren though...

No, I think it's a Wooley back turn of phrase, something to do with sheep I'd guess.
