Default England slangs? Or dialects?

1) neffy-pooh = ?

From Harry Potter (The Chamber of Secrets):

Is that my Dudders?
Is that my little neffy-pooh?


----------------------

2) windy-wandy = ?
3) Rippy-pippy-pooh = ?

From Harry Potter (The Chamber of Secrets):

A little drop of brandy-brandy windy-wandy for Rippy-pippy-pooh.
