From the outside looking in I'd say beaut, head, texan & grebo are things you only really hear in & around Liverpool. As for the people saying stuff like keks, boss, sound, buzzing etc I think you should spend a little more time outside of Liverpool! I wouldn't say any of them were scouse words really.

Beaut, boss and buzzing have been here in the northeast US for quite a while. Beaut is used by older people. Buzzed/buzzing has been used for 30-40 years. Boss is 10 years or so. 

It's interesting reading this thread. I have no idea what the hell you're all talking about!!   :o ;D

I'm going to go to the packy and then pick up a grinder.  ;)

What does beaut mean there? It's used in the rest of the UK as well but means pretty much the complete opposite to what it means here.

'I'm just going out to get the messages, do you want anything?' was used both by my own Mum (Scouse of Irish descent) and by my Wifes Mum (Glasgow).
