You are not using the correct Lancashire vernacular!
Th'art as much use as a one-legged mon at an arse-kicking contest.
You aren't much use at all!

(How do you fancy a kick from my clog?)
Ah'll tek a bit o' thi wom (home) in me pocket.
(There'll be bits of you missing when I've finished!)
Thaz a face lahk a constipated bloodhound!

(The second wife of a marriage frequently gets treated better than the first one.)
'Im in t' neet wi' t' rag arm.
(Him in the night with the amputated arm - a nonsense retort for parrying inquisitive people who want to know who you are talking about.)
Muck midden pride - a carriage weddin' an' a wheelbarrow flittin'.

(You might be born but you're not dead yet, i.e.. you might be congratulating yourself that you are doing very nicely - but a lot of nasty things could happen to you before you die, so don't be too sure of yourself.)
Th'arl come to thi cake an' milk.
(You'll get what's coming to you.)
