Do you ever remember that fella James Last?
He had an LP called Make Your Party Last.
I used to love that title, but nobody could understand why I was laughing.

Ha no, kweg.

I've lived in the states for about 11 years now so I'm not sure if a lot of the stuff I say is lost lingo or not. I'm stuck in a mid 90s Mersey timewarp when it comes to fashion and lingo.

Do people still say "binno" for scruffs/tramps? Always liked that one

Some more to build my post count:

fazakerly instead of exactly

end of!

grock

brewsted

bill/billy/billy-no-mates. As in, "I went into town on me bill"

excessive use of "there" - as in, "what's that there la?" or "eeyar there la" as a standard precursor to any question

eeyar - I think the literal translation would be "here you are" - used as a standard opener

Properly filled him in mate

When I spoke of filling someone in to mates at Uni from down South, they were quick to point out a homo-erotic double meaning that had never occurred to me

How about 'playing out' - as in "Are you playing out?" - meaning are you available to come outside and play

These are probably all noted already. I wouldn't describe them as 'lost' scousisms, but then again i haven't lived there for 20 years, so dunno...but after i moved southerners didn't understand these words and phrases.


A backie - to ride on the back of someone's bicycle
A leggy - as above
Meff - a scruffy, unkempt or unfashionable person
Tatty 'ed - messy or bedraggled hair
Boss - great, terrific, i like it
Give em down the banks - to criticise harshly
Kipper - face
Smeg 'ed- an idiot
Come 'ed - come on
Jangle - idle talk, gossip
Jigger - an alley way
Antwacky - old, ancient, out of date
Bizzy - policeman
Quilt - an idiot or weakling
Slummie - loose change
Coppers - loose change, pennies and two p's
Minty - dirty, unfashionable
Gooseable - describing someone you find sexually attractive
Til dick docked - waiting a long time
Keep dixie - keep a look out
Casey - a leather football
Dolled up (to the nines) - not sure if this is scouse, but is when a woman is wearing her finest or even overdressed
Fiddlin' da lecky - tampering with the electric meter to avoid payment
Doggy wallace - a snitch or grass (one of my grandmother's sayings that one)

Uh oh...

I was unaware of the site's long history with that debate. :)
I'm from Garston originally and as a kid in the 70's i always called it a mogger, although i knew others to call it a leggy. I went to school in West Derby and some friends there called it a backie. I've never heard of a takie before. A mogger on the front handle bars was a crozzie.....but i expect old wounds may be reopened so forget i said anything!

Lolly Ice

Lolly Ice is so wrong and so scouse in my experience.  But we don't have Cube Ice or Cream Ice.

I think the use of the word 'quilt' as an insult is great

The cadence of 'lolly ice' makes it much nicer to the ear, its mellifluous and musical. It also follows the same order used with  'lolly pop'. Ice Lolly does not sound as musical, it sounds more abrupt. Better than popsicle though!

It might sound more musical, but it also sounds wrong.  Mind you I have in my collection many CD's which are musical and wrong.

Sounds right to me, but i grew up with it. Lolly ice follows the useage in lolly pop. Shirley Temple didn't sing about "the good ship pop lolly" :)

But I have never lived anywhere other than Liverpool who use Lolly Ice,  I accept your Lolly Pop arguement.  But in defence i give you the ice cube and the ice cream
