no foregners (people from outside the city) can do a scouse accent, they always sound like a smackhead
I think a lot of the lingo has spread to the rest of the uk and ireland, and its in general use now
words like "made up", sound and even n*b-head has spread to other areas of the NW.
the word la is also considered a word of people from lancashire too
my grandma had a funny accent, sounded quite of old english, lancastrian, scouse, think thats the way they spoke then
I think in general people of working class adopt words from city to city, but I think we invent far more words than others, for some reason, maybe its because we iz just cool and always have been, and lead the world in a lot of things.....ie music, beatles, and culture. I think our accent is getting a little americanized but it is still going strong through Massive local pride. I seem to remember a word that originated in Huyton at the end of the 70's the word was "jaag" meaning crap, and I dont think it has spread past liverpool even yet.
great scouse words that are still very local Arlarse Kecks Divvy Skint The Bizzies Meff Tracky Trainies Bifter goose keep dixie
