Any words ending with 'ng' as in 'getting' or 'going' or 'shopping' etc, they would be 'gettin' or 'goin' or ' shoppin' etc
Police are called bizees, and that's one of the nicer words for them :lol: Scallies are groups of lads who hang on street corners with nothing better to do. BUT, we DO speak English, contrary to popular belief

A few I can think of; Placcie - Plastic (as in 'Plastic Scouser' )Kex - trousers La - Short for 'Lad', but generally means 'mate' or 'friend'. Ta - Thank you Made-up - Very happy about I use a few of those myself (or should I say meself) from time to time.

crimbo = christmas gob = mouth woollyback = someone who isn't a scouser They do say ta a lot, so don't be surprised if they tell you 'ta luv' in a shop or something. They also say 'ta-ra' instead of goodbye sometimes. I know that in the north they use like at the end of a sentence as an equivalent of you know?, but do they do it in Liverpool? |

Al arse = old arse = sly person or mean peson Skint = broke = has no money as in I'm skint = I'm broke Skinflint is a person who refuses to give any amount of money to the needy, they usually walk past a begger in the street with their pockets bulging with money and say "sorry mate I'm broke", also known as an al arse Nark or ark or in an ark or in noahs ark = has cob on |

There are a few esoteric ones that people should be aware of. When booking a hotel room, don't ask for a "reservation" because that's slang for violating one's sister and they'll call the rozzers. "A poke in the eye" is what they call beer, so just ask the barman for a poke in the eye and he'll assume you're a local and treat you well. |

Skinflint is also American slang interestingly. "Nark or ark or in an ark or in noahs ark = has cob on" --- uh definition Colin?

Skinflint could be an American importation, as are a lot of other sayings. I know of one other American importation, I believe the police over in America are referred to as filth or the filth, that has been imported over to here and now they call the police here filth or the filth instead of pigs. Cob on = bad mood. |

I don't think that filth for police is American slang, Peter is right on that. Cops is American slang for police. Pigs is now archaic -- 70s American slang for police. |

285g (10oz) Self-Raising Flour 150g (5oz) Shredded Suet 150ml (¼ pint) Milk 110-160g (4-6oz) Currants or Raisins 85g (3oz) Castor Sugar 1 Lemon, zest only, finely grated Pinch Salt Mix all of the dry ingredients, including the grated lemon zest, together thoroughly Add enough milk to produce a soft dough. Turn out onto a floured surface. Roll out the mixture to produce a roll approximately 15cm (6 in) long and 5cm (2 in) in diameter. Prepare either a tea towel lightly dusted with flour, or sheet of kitchen foil or a double thickness of greaseproof paper, brushed with melted butter. Wrap loosely but securely, leaving enough space for it to rise. Tie or seal the ends. Place in the steamer and cover tightly. Steam for 1½ to 2 hours. Serve cut into thck slices with hot custard. enjoy just tackled the origin of "Dick" as a nickname and a few other usages--a riding whip, an apron, abbreviation for "dictionary," a policeman. With all these varied usages, you got a problem with "dick" being also derived from "pudding"? My sources all pretty much agree with the derivation, without being specific how. However, I can see "pudding" become "puddink" becoming "puddick" and then just "dick." The word "dick" has appeared in any number of strange places. Around the 1840s, "dick" was used to mean a type of hard cheese; when treacle sauce was added, it became "treacle dick", and finally when currants or raisins were added (looking like little spots), the "spotted dick" was born. |

Drain water, rinse meat under running tap, replace into large pan, cover with water again and bring to the boil 3. Finely chop the onion and stir into the pan with the meat and mince 4. Shred and dice the cabbage, throw into the pot 5. Peel the spuds and dice about half of them, throw into the pot 6. Dice the carrots and other vegies and put them into the pot with the OXO cubes, give a good stir and cover the lot with water 7.

A little more scouse knowledge for you
TWO great cathedrals dominate the Liverpool skyline, representing the Anglican and Roman Catholic faiths in the city.Appropriately they are joined by Hope Street, and each are prime examples of architectural excellence; imposing, atmospheric and thought provoking. The cathedrals have a fascinating history, and hold a special place in the hearts of Liverpudlians, who quickly dubbed the massive buildings "Dracula's castle" and "Paddy's wigwam" respectively. Plans for a great Anglican cathedral for the recently formed Diocese of Liverpool began in earnest in 1901 when a 22-year-old architect called Gilbert Giles Scott won a competition to become architect. Yes it snow's here too, "Dracula's castle" :lol: :lol: :lol: |
