I don't know if these were kid's slang or peculiar to Sheffield but if summat were good it were "magic" or "neat". If it were really good it were "double neat".

My dad uses "double-reyt" or "sound as a bell" for something particularly good.

In our house we don't use the "in and out" bit, but if someone is being particularly inept, or useless, then they are described as a f*rt in a colander.

We said it as "chommelled" or "chammelled" in our family.
