Topic: Lost Scouse Lingo

[So… Howard Philips]

Me bird, me tart, me judy, probably all surpassed in non political correctness by "me beef".

[Medellin]

If any of the kids today was asked if they wanted a shootie in the ennog they'd probably think it would involve drugs.
One thing i miss from my youth is a shootie.

No toe'eys & no blammers..every shot was propr blammed.

3 & in against an end terraced wall with a goal painted on too..

Heads and Vols was the best. Whoever lost got red arse.

Definitely. The absolute chaos when you needed a volley to get to 10 and lads that aren’t even good at football go full David De Gea. I hope the kids are still playing it now!

Who remembers sixty seconds ?

[kavah]

^ oh aye. Endless games in those long summers of the 70s and 80s.

3 and in. 60 seconds, shootie and a big mad 15 aside game on the back field.
The perfect pre-season for under 12s Sunday league

Who remembers sixty seconds ?

Played that and 3 and in all the time as kids.

[kesey]

Is right . But for the life of me what were the rules of sixty seconds again ? All that is popping up is ' last ten seconds ' or something was a free for all . Something like headers or vollies were allowed. I use to box for the Fair and Feathers on Mab Lane as a kid and the trainer use to shout ' last ten ' when I was training or sparring it meant go full pelt. I maybe confusing the two .

Same here regarding the boxing..when we played 60 secs you had to get 1 header & 1 volley first,then 2 headers & 2 volleys and so on til the keeper either caught the ball or there was a fuck up with the number of volleys/headers or outta time.

*that last 10 boxing when you were already proper fucked..

On the boxing. If you were on the punch bag the trainer use to tell you to walk towards the punch bag during last ten and dont let it swing back towards you. Yep. It proper fucked you. Tell you what though. It made you boss and those scraps as a kid . Just pretend it was last ten and the other kid would be put on his arse in no time.

Did yer play one kick in Liverpool? In Manchester's Ardwick, there would only be 2 playing ( if all the other kids were in the naughty corner and couldn't come out!) and the rule was one kick usually against goalposts painted on a blank dead end wall. The aim was to put the sharpest angle possible on your kick, "score " between the posts with the rebound pushing your opponent's next one-kick as far from and at as tight an angle as possible for them to score with their one kick. Play up to first to score 10.

Aye Johnno we played that & it was called SPOT

No full stop deliberately there as we played with 4 or 5 lives.
The 5 life variant was SPOT.      with a dot at the end for the 5th life.
Fuck knows why it was called that

[kesey]

Yeah right! 

Yep. I remember those leather gloves we use to wear with absolutely no padding.  My knuckles were bleeding when I got home but toughened up after time.

Ahhh, I frickin' loved Spot Almost like the football version of snooker. They should reboot "Big Break", except it's Spot instead, and without Jim Davidson.

I wonder if I could organise a lunchtime Spot club at work...

[only6times]

Mooncat. Haven't heard that for time. Got used today in work about some lad and described him to a tee. "He's a fuckin' mooncat!!". The delivery and venom were perfect.

[Medellin]

Piley on!

What about playing knuckles with a deck of cards ...red raw bleeding knuckles

When you're about get hit you'd say "No skinners!" 
Then they'd try their best to catch you with one anyway 

Does anyone remember playing 'split the kipper' with knives?

I've got a mate who intended to do serious damage when playing knuckles. He would put his middle knuckle in the middle of the deck and pull this face which meant business. I bit weird looking back at it as we were in our 20's.

What's split the kipper ? It sounds a bit rude .

[Tesco tearaway]

What's split the kipper ? It sounds a bit rude .

Just got this explanation of the net... Much easier than trying to explain it myself 

Two opponents stand a few feet apart facing each other on grass or soft earth.

One throws a pen-knife to stick in the ground a reasonable distance from one of the opponent's feet (if the knife doesn't stick in, it doesn't count). The opponent then has to move their foot to where the knife is, without moving the other foot, pick up the knife and take their turn. And so on, back and forth.

To win you have to be first to force your opponent into a position where they either fall over, can't make the required move (or can't do so without falling over) or can't get the knife (without falling over).

You'd end up with your legs so far apart it felt like you were splitting your kipper

Fucking hell Kesey you've led a sheltered life mate. You need to get out more.

  You cheeky swine.


We use to just throw darts at eachother and see who could run the fastest instead. Split the kipper was for a quegs.

I remember saying that to many a person... "Fuck off queqhead!" 
Ah, the good old pre-pc days

It's a boss word is quegg. I've no idea how it originated but I think it referred to some being a puff .

[reddebs]

Quegs usually refers to queen Elizabeth grammar school where I come from but the public school reference could well be where the "puff" comes from.

I went to West Derby and that posh school in Sandfield Park ( King Edwards I think ) we called queggs . The Holly Lodge girls were called slags or something.

 

Some of them posh lads were terrorised by us back then at the bus stops or on our dinner break. I think some of the Holly Lodge girls use to terrorise them too. Poor bastards. A school like that sandwiched in between places like Tuebrook, Norris Green , Clubmoor , Old Swan , Dovecot and Canny Farm.

Just found this.

Oh fuck off it's saying that the site can't be reached.

It's says a Quegg is a young teenager still in education who has no pubes or pyabs. 

 

It's bollocks I still call me old mates Queggs now.

[John C]

That's a fucking cracker. Kesey went to King Edy's 
Apart from Merchant Taylor, there isn't a posher school in the NorthWest.


Ah Paul that's funny. I can imagine you and ye posh mates making Rum in Chemistry.

As if West Derby kids would do that [emoji12]

[The Gulleysucker]

St Edwards College please, you ruffian...

There's a few of us on here who went there, my good friend Lord Snooty for one, and Macca888 etc... and I don't recall ever being terrorised by you lot.

But seriously, many of us had little choice, if you were raised a Catholic, that was the only senior school around other than those who lived the North end who went to St Mary's in Crosby, certainly if you had ambition to go to University. At least 80% of my year of around 100 kids lived on council estates around the area, including myself, though that was back in the 60's-early 70's when it was a Grammar and entrance was primarily by 11 plus though there were some kids who were fee paying from the then posher areas like Childwall & Allerton. These days it's all fee paying, though I expect there's some scholarships for free for local kids around there.
