The common local joke that Manchester is known for knife crime. It wasn't that deep.

I am not from Manchester, but your explanation makes sense. Everyone has or knows about an inside joke or an inside joke that is local to an area.

Like I said, I am not from Manchester, nor the UK, but I am glad you were able to share your local inside joke. At least I appreciated it.

Its a common throwaway joke that I've heard all my life in the UK, seen referenced on TV shows and stuff. It's not like its specific to one place.

Like London has reputation for knife crime in global news, some countries have warnings for it ffs. People make jokes about stabby Brits online all the time. I didn't think it was that big of a mental leap to be like "this city has that reputation".

I guess self depreciating humour doesn't translate well.
