No, not at all not even outisde of Liverpool, all towns have their equivalent, Mancs say 'top or 'mint', I've never heard anyone say boss outside of Liverpool. For the record I'm not a wool, fucking wools.

 

Lancastrian reporting in.  (Fuck off with Greater Manchester.)  'Boss' was used here when I was a kid more than it is now but I still use it and nobody looks at me as if to say 'What's this cunt on about' when I do.  Well OK, sometimes they do but it's not because I'm saying 'boss'.

 

As for 'mint' yeah.  If it was 1989.

 

'Chipper' from the Norn Iron contingent just baffles me, a chipper is something you put logs in.  No, not a toilet, the other kind of logs.

*FF on the GF alert - If you don't want to see the result, look away now*

I've recently seen a few of the Irish boys describing a free kick as just 'a free'. Someone needs to step in and clamp down on this shit before it gets out of hand.

That comes from their Gaelic sports, but it should not be transferable to proper f**tball. In fact I'd say that was a negging offence.

 

By the way Rapey, boss is common parlance amongst the overspill contingent in Runcorn and has been since I was a kid (we're talking over 30 years here now). I do however see it as a Scouse term and don't hear it used by other dialects.

I see what's happened here and I'm not going to blame you, it's not your fault, you've been taking things that Sugar Ape says as fact.

 

I will say this again. Nobody in Northern Ireland calls it a chipper, it's called a chippy. I'd never heard of that phrase until some Southern wrongun mentioned it on here.

Aussies (Victorian) call it a free as well, mainly from AFL e.g., you say "that's definitely a free kick", a Victorian Aussie would say "the free is definitely there".

 

A word I've been hearing in London to describe something good is "lush".
