My family all have different versions of the scouse accent, my grandparents on both side hail from Everton but the kids obviously moved on and their kids talk differently. Spread across Kirkdale, Anfield, Huyton, Litherland, Norris Green, Crosby, Southport, Speke. The ones raised in Kirkdale are probably the Scouser, i have quite a soft accent like my dad although he is from St Domingo Rd.

It’s not just a Liverpool thing, you get professional Yorkshiremen, Cockneys, etc. All of them annoying.

Hahaha yeah probably true. When I joined the Navy, one of the lads was from Barnsley. Never heard anything lie it in my life. He is one of my best mates still to this day but I still can't get my head round his accent.

I lived in London for a bit and used to drink in a pub full of professional Cockney dick-heads. There was one fella in particular who was louder than everyone else and always used Cockney rhyming slang. Whenever he went for a piss, he would loudly announce “I’m going for a J. Arthur” (Rank - wank).

I've heard Jimmy Floyd (Hasselbaink) rhyming slang for wank as well.

Two fellas I worked with about ten years ago both from Tower Hill in Kirkby, one sounded like Peter Reid and the other one sounded like Roger Moore.

 

Apparently they went to the same school and hated each other, the Peter Reid fella used to stick the Roger Moore fellas head in the bogs and flush it as well as robbing his dinner money.

Some people from Yorkshire use “me sen” for myself. When I first moved to North Yorkshire, I used to burst out laughing when I heard people say “ee ba gum”.

There was a Chippy on our site once, George from Barnsley and he would say Nowt apiece for nil nil, one day he called his Mrs back at home who'd nearly burnt the kitchen down, he said what have I told thee about drinking int afternoon, funny as fuck, mutton chop sideys too but sound. 

I have a few Jamaican mates, well born here but family origin, when sometimes we get together for a bevvy there's this older lad in 70s they call Dada, he's loud as fuck and I can't understand him, obviously they can but when he's about they go full mode Jamaican talk   then once he's gone they revert back to Mush Southampton talk, baffling.

I cringed reading that, embarrassing to say the least. 

There's a lot of terms I don't know of l, living elsewhere, like Lid up till a few years ago even the likes of Ketwig, though ive never heard Cuz that's truly awful, everyone down here calls each other Cuz as I think it's that most are wannabe Gypos or should I say travellers, travellers who don't go anywhere, it's a strange one, I don't know what's worse Cuz or Bruv, horrendous. 

"Cuz", "cuzzy" and "cuzzy bro" are widely used among the Maori community down here.

I always wonder why Brummies talk loudly on holiday. I'd shut the fuck up and keep myself to myself if I spoke like them.

 

Its the main reason I don't really like or care for report holidays anymore. Not brummies, just the fact that I haven't spent hours in a flying tin can risking my life to sit and talk Football with Tony from Kings Lynn. 

I schooled at Rugby with Tony from Kings Lynn, and as far as I'm concerned he's a ruddy good egg.

Really, there not cousins down here though, I wouldn't call my cousins Cuz I'd say their name, if I remembered it, I certainly would call my brother Bruv neither, it'd be a what the fuck are you saying that for.

Must be a traditional thing then?

Know what you mean, a few the mates always say it, not as a hip thing, we have laugh about it when I ask them why? But with some it is a hip thing, you know you don't want talk to much to someone who says alright Bruv, down here anyway. 

Never said lid, as you can't just say to yourself, this a my new way of saying something, lad now and again but not every 5 mins

I don't say bruv, cuz or fam, but loads of people in their 20s do where I live. It just starts to become normal for a generation. 

 

What's far worse in my view is all the Yank speak, saying the month before the day of the month, saying 'you got this', 'meh', 'my bad' etc.

Yes, there's loads of different things in different places, where Bruv is concerned is that I thought it was just down here but more widespread than I thought, still sounds really bad though wherever. 

Another thing that pisses me off is when she texts me, I'll text back saying I can't understand that jibberish, I get 4, U, M8, which is bad enough, just spell spell it for fucksake, she reckons it comes out like that and couldn't be  bothered to change it, surely there's  not a predictive text setting giving you automatic FB talk bollocks?

"The further away we go from Liverpool, the more lads are intimated by our accents and the more birds find us attractive. We will therefore go for a night out in Altrincham, or perhaps Sandbach. To rule....finally to rule."
