I think Brookside exported a lot of Liverpool sayings in the Eighties which many have adopted as their own....One word which has become very common nationally is 'sad' as in 'not very good'.... I first heard is used in such a way on the special coming back from Leicester circa 1980 when I asked a lad what the buffet queue was like and he said "sad!"...always stuck in my memory that....never heard it used in that way before and I think it was a very Scouse thing until the aformentioned Brookside....'Scran' and 'Scally' suffered the Brookside curse too.

I was brought up in the Bullring/Gill Street area back in the early 70's, and I recall the stone outbuildings/bin stores being called 'shellogs'. No idea why, apart from the quote ''Acky broke his legs when he fell off the shellog''. Marvellous.

Here's one for youse....."goin' down the cazzie". Some laugh, the rest need an explanation ;D

Where they play tick with hatchets?

Do people still keep 'Dixie'....have a 'Dekko'...

Dekko as in "have a dekko at that" applied to say a pretty girl (judy) was old Indian Army lingo so many of the oldlads who had served used to say it, but probably as they have died out its usage is becoming much less common.

We had a discussion yonks ago in the old arses thread about words that seem to have disappeared or are not in such common use these days.

I remember Yock generally meaning spitting as in "He yocked on me kecks" though it could also mean something or someone a bit distasteful like "He's a yocky sodgob"

Gozzy generally meaning short sighted, cross eyed but also someone a bit simple ie who dribbled out of one corner of their mouth so 'Don't believe him, he's got a gozzy jaw'

Do, used as in "I'll do you softlad", seems to have slipped away as well.

"I get a lazy lob thinking about her"... self explanatory.

I think some of us came to the conclusion that quite a few words were perhaps restricted to certain estates or people from them or even just schools and were possibly not in common widespread Merseyside usage. My mates and I used the word 'nerd' a lot at school back in 1965 way before it seemed to become common usage from the 90's onwards.
I don't do polite so fuck yoursalf with your stupid accusations...
