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

[Remmie]

What kind of fuckwit doesn't know what cheers means?

[Sugar Ape]

They call a Steamboat a Swizzler on the Wirral? The fuck is that all about, fucking weirdos. And BirkenVegas has got to be the second worst thing I've heard in my life. Only beaten by the Irish calling a chippy a chipper.

[The Golden Eel]

Wonder if the "fry up" mongs will along at any stage

 

Never heard of a "chipper" either

[Bjornebye]

BirkenVegas????

 

BirkenBeirut sounds better. 

[Sugar Ape]

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=birkenvegas

 

 

refers to the town Birkenhead, on the Wirral peninsula in north west England. It is a nickname.

"lets all go out to Birkenvegas tonight!"-however, many people may prefer liverpool for a night out!

 

[Bjornebye]

why anyone who lives within 10 miles of town would want to go out anywhere other than Liverpool these days is beyond me.

You can see evidence of the use of the word chipper here http://www.liverpoolway.co.uk/index.php?/topic/90781-rate-your-local-chippy/

Agent Skids will check back on this swizzler shit as I work on that side.

 

Proper gobshites over here though. (Except Paul, Rog and Skeet)

I thought chipper was how it sounds when a wool says chippy.

Yeah, that's probably how it sounds when Bjornebye says it. It's written down by the Irish multiple times in that thread and others though.

[The Golden Eel]

That's odd. Must be some southern Irish garbage.

[Bjornebye]

No it's how it sounds when Turdseye says it though. 

[Furmedge]

Chipper? Isn't that a word southern twats say when they're in a good mood?"

 

Another one, is it only scousers that say 'is right'?

[KMD7]

Its chipper in Ireland

[RedKnight]

Weirdos.

If you remember The Stairs then there was a band just after that called The Isrites. Nothing came out at the time. Some stuff available here

I thought a Swizzler was some kind of lolly ice or a kids potatoey food?

Boss is used by the character Vern Tessio (to describe something good) in the film Stand By Me, so I assume it was/is used in parts of America.

One of my favourite films, never got onto that though... ill listen out for it next time

Is there a better coming-of-age film? 

 

It has been a long time since I last watched it, but I'm sure Vern uses the word boss to describe something good.

 

Have you read the short story that the film is based on?

[Bjornebye]

No, the only short story I know to do with that film is lard ass. best story ever.

I recommend it, mate.

There's a book coming out from some Liverpool prof about how much of Liverpool local vernacular that was thought to be purely local does in fact come from old Irish (as in the language) and old Irish conversational terms that were brought across on the famine ships. 

 

'Sound' being a very good example.  I've met scousers who think this is purely a Liverpool thing when it in fact it has been part of the Irish dialect for centuries.
