Wotcher!

Meaning - Hey there!

A form of greeting, rather more familiar to Victorian schoolboys than anyone more contemporary. Harks back to a time when “cock” meant something like “mate”, but nowadays marching into a bar and greeting someone with “Wotcher, cock!” is unlikely to make you more popular.
