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. :D

crimbo = christmas

gob = mouth

woollyback = someone who isn't a scouser :P

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 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.

I know it's not just unique to Liverpool, but I can't help but chuckle every time I think about "spotted dick".  I can't believe it's a dessert!

I saw that at an int'l food mkt...just what is it??

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 :D

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.

A little more scouse knowledge for you :P

Posted Image 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:

Speaking of scouse, I just saw this recipe for scouse and I am wondering: what the heck is mince?

Simply means Minced Meat, done through a mincer Posted Image

My mom used to make that and had one of those contraptions.

That's what I thought it was.
