It might be of Northern origin, but is not felt as such anyway (at least I
didn't know!). Modern slang here in Antwerp, even among people who think
it's cool to speak some kind of dialect, takes up a lot of Northern slang
words, too, apart from the English ones one can expect. Like eg. [sorry for
all the bad words that are following;)] neuken (for poepen), borren (idem;
google taught me that it also exists on .nl-forums, so I guess it comes from
the North), kut (for eg. foef), lul etc.
Especially on such semantic fields the traditional words sound somewhat
dull...
