He mighta' always talked like da' but he was pretty quiet as a kid from what I remember that its difficult to tell if hes putting it on a bit thick or not.

 

His parents might have thick accents so it could be argued that he copied them.

Anyway,who wants to known as Runcorn comedian?

im a dub "pharse we would use to describe something would be "that.s ,deadly.or proper order.or in other case,s that, "rapid"

[Block109'er]

No.

 

Boss is a 100% scouse turn of phase to describe something good.

 

For the rest of us...Boss is used to descibe that cunt we have to report into on a Monday morning and a very nice brand of designer clothing/aftershave.

[Remmie]

I disagree, I am a fully non-scouse Southern Mong and have been using boss for years. However I come from Milton Keynes which has no heritage of it's own so draws influence from the many places people have moved from around the country and is occassionally used down here. Also at University in Preston it was used quite regularly and I didn't know any Scousers at Uni, mainly uttered by a Manc/Manx mate actually. I am sure it originates from Liverpool but in my experience is used quite a lot outside the city.

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?

 

 

And you were doing so well....

That's mainly North Dublin slang, though. On the south side they use words such as 'fab' and 'super'. Each to their own like.

 

Nobody uses it anymore, but my favourite term to describe something good in Dublin slang is 'Gameball'. Real old school.

 

As for the OP, no, its not used over here. I tend to use it after reading stuff on here, but people tend to look at me like I have two heads when I use it, so I don't bother.

As soon as i seen 'A1' in your post, Georgie Burgess out of the snapper popped into my head.

[stringvest]

Why can't you cunts use the queens english? She herself is known to favour the word 'smart' instead of 'boss'. She's retro. And you should be too, if you know what's good for you.

[llego]

I do since i started reading these forums. And ace.

I think he invented it to be fair....the dirty fecker.great movie all the same.

As for saying boss...its a pikey thing in these parts.

And now FAO all Scousers. Would you ever say 'Cheers' as an expression of thanks? Got an incredulous response when I texted this to a friend recently

[JohnnyH]

I say that all the time. In fact I finish e-mails with it and everything.

[Champ]

I was surprised by the reaction

[RobbieOR]

Johnny isnt scouse...

[Sugar Ape]

I say that all the time. In fact I finish e-mails with it and everything.

 

Yeah I say it sometimes. And the question was for scousers Johnny! You can dream I suppose.....

[Champ]

Johnny isnt scouse...

I thought not

[Furmedge]

I'm scouse and I say cheers.

[Lee909]

Yes

[JohnnyH]

I wasn’t saying I was Scouse, I was just pointing out that I say it also. Sweet fucking Jesus, if we all adhered strictly to every question on these forums then each thread would be 2 posts long!

 

Bunch of sensitive twats.

[Scooby Dudek]

I use Boss but I use Sound more often

 

I am from Liverpool but travel for my work and for this reason I say Cheers and also use it in e-mails, normally the friendly progression from Kind Regards>Regards>Cheers

[VladimirIlyich]

Yes I use it a lot.

[dlfc]

My Dad's scouse. He doesn't say boss or cheers (he does swear a lot though)
