FAO Out of towners, wools, mongs and the Irish.

[RJ Fan club]

My missus (Essex Bird) uses it in Scouse sense, but she got it from me.

 

Fucking Wools. Just wanted to say that.

[mattyq]

It's deffo a Liverpool thing.

Never heard it used in any of the places i've lived apart from Liverpool

I'd call people from Huyton or Sefton wools as they're not from the city of Liverpool...they really appreciate this and generally agree with it...Wools

[Code]

Its a common term and not exclusive to Liverpool in any way.

[chrisbonnie]

It's certainly NOT an Irish word that's for sure

 

It's exclusively a avoided scally saying

[Delmar]

Its a common term and not exclusive to Liverpool in any way.

 

It is not a common term at all, people in general would recognize what it means, but it is not used, really. However wrong you may be this time again, God Jul, and just to let you lutefisk eating Norgies know, I got my Christmas salmon from a local dude supporting the Sjømannskirken, straight from Norway. A boss cause...

[Jennings]

I am from Cheshire, so I don't say boss, I say Senior Management.

 

"Fucking hell look at them alloy wheels, they are Senior Management, they are".

[VladimirIlyich]

As an exile living in Runcorn its used a lot round here as people are rightly ashamed to be associated with the place and beg to be referred to as scousers.

 

In fact Runcorn is full of people who try to sound more scouse than the natives,its pretty embarrassing at times.

[Welsh]

I use the word Boss.

[Juniper]

Don't say boss from where I'm from, sounds wrong if used without a scouse accent so for that reason I'm out.

[Jim MM]

Any time you hear "boss" around west cork it's normally followed by,delete as applicable, "..would you like to buy a carpet,wood,gates or your tools back I stole of you earlier"

Is that you Jim?

 

Not me boss. I specialise in discount petroleum products.

[bigbak]

Never used it for that scenario. Only the ones in the Oxford English. What ho.

[Magic Sponge]

You can only carry it off if you've got a scouse accent.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

In Norwegian "boss" is the same as garbage/litter etc

I always think it's funny on the train back from London, if there are any gobby uber-scally nobheads annoying you, you know you'll at least be left in peace for the last 20 minutes.

I wouldn't say you are all the things mentioned in the thread title johnny. You're not really a wool.

 

Ahhhhhhhhhh. Thanks mate...........

I've never understood why a shithole like Runcorn is on the Liverpool-London mainline anyway.

[Liverpool lad]

I've never understood why a shithole like Runcorn is on the Liverpool-London mainline anyway.

 

I was told it was for the folk of Cheshire

[Rorschach08]

I'm from Ellesmere Port but do all of my drinking in Liverpool and worked there for over 10 years.

 

I say both 'Boss' and 'Sound' in everyday slang.

 

I never use 'La', 'Lad' or 'Lid' at the end of a sentence.

 

Also a seaty is a seaty. It's a chip batch (never hear anyone say barm), a sandwich is a butty and mischief night doesn't exist.

 

Anything else?

So close. But a wool will always out.

I thought the bit where I said i'm from Ellesmere Port might have been the biggest clue.

[Sugar Ape]

I was prepared to ignore that and adopt you as a honorary scouser. Until the mention of a chip batch.

Hey, I love Liverpool but i'm really proud to be from Ellesmere Port.

 

We have a Boat Museum AND the bloke whose not H from Steps is from here - it's a cultural paradise
