Some scouse submissions.
Pyar (pronouced. pee-yaaar)
Pure, as when used to mean āabsoluteā. e.g. Your shoes are pure shit, mate. Translates to scouse as: āYour trabs are pyar shit, laā.
**Pyab ** (pronouced pee-yab)
Pube. e.g. Hey girl, have you just noshed him off in the gents? Youāve got a pyab on your lippy, love.
Gary
An ecstasy pill. Inspired by cockney rhyming slang and the late Evertonian footballer. Gary Ablett = Tablet. āGot any garies?ā is often heard in late night clubs at 3am.
Sticking an -y on everything
This isnāt uniquely scouse, but they do it more than anyone else Iāve ever met. I remember getting back from my inaugural shopping and being greeted with ābeen down the Kwikky, lad?ā.
Meff
A homeless alcoholic. Derives from methylated spirits,.
Smackhead
A heroin addict.
On the ale
On the piss, not necessarily drinking ale.
On the beak
Youāre one of those super-confident people with a coke problem,. and an urge to kill everyone at 5am in the morning when it all runs out.

Welsh, for all you English
Some NI observations.
**Wee **

Bollix
An arsehole

Juvenile Unit #1 and I have conferred to provide more scouse terms.
Me headās kettled.
I am confused.
Bizzies
The Police.
Scally
The scouse, and better version of āchavā
Getting wellied
Getting drunk. Originates from Cains Brewery workers. After losing the perk of being able to drink on the job, the workers would fill their watertight Wellington boots with ale and drink anyway.
Jarg
Fake. āThereās some jarg sunnies right thereā. āThatās jarg Chanelā.

Devastated. āIām fucking devoed, laā
Aba
About. āIāll be there aba two o clockā.

The officially recognised three words you need to start fisticuffs.
Alarse
Out of order. āTaking a shit on his doorstep was alarse, ladā
Our kid
Typically a family relation, but can also refer to anyone someone knows personally.
Not pronouncing hās in some words.
If you ask a Liverpudlian to say āhouseā, there is a fair chance that theyāll just say āouseā, with the beginning of the word spoken actively, like in āouchā. Thatās bad enough.
They say a Liverpudlian can incapacitate 78% of all known grammar pedants if they say āa houseā using this style. _A _is pronounced in the phonetic way we teach the letter to kids. Both words are pronounced forcefully and quickly. I can just about live with it now, but I felt like someone had sent a couple of rounds my way first time I heard it.

All I have noticed in Carlisle after a week is that a lot of people say āpalā instead of mate and say āweeā a lot instead of little, which comes from just over the boarder. I am sure there will be plenty more.
I have tried slipping into the local accent, but I think it makes me stand out even more.
The weird thing is, I am very conscious of my accent in Carlisle.
Iād offer a lexicon for north Yorkshire, but the stuff they talk up here has yet to evolve into a written language.

Brings back memories of my flatmate in halls. The most scouse person you could ever hope to meet. Also, in his own words (within 30 secs of meeting him) āthe biggest fairy youāll ever meetā. Iām a fan of scousers, and the scouse accent, add in some heavily camp affectations and itās non-stop entertainment.
I miss that bloke.
