Topic: Lost Scouse Lingo

[afc tukrish]

Evil bastards is what they were.

Windmill Pub, Tower Hill. Used to walk past the back of this on the way to/from school and this pair used to lean over the edge barking like fuck trying to get at you. If they'd ever had got the balls to jump we'd have been dead.

Holy shit! 

That's fucking awesome, in a 70s, Wolfen re-make sort of way...

Wouldn't like to walk past them mate; I'd be shitting myself

Yard dogs lived on the roof?

Specially bred with longer legs on one side than the other.

The graffiti

The graffiti

They were terrifying those dogs, I was getting on for 6ft tall when I was 15 and those things were hanging off spraying slobber on you.

Love the Grafitti  . I actually wrote Chopper was here on that wall - inspired by 2000AD unamerican Graffiti.

In school, I got told to back my exercise book because I'd drawn all over the cover, being a cocky little Scouse kid, I used the middle pages from that 200AD comic. The teacher saw the fuuny side

“Frig off knobhead!” Was usually the precursor to a fight when I was a kid 

[afc tukrish]

Just possibly...   

Apropos of nothing, the roof dogs piccy does a fair job at visually representing Fordy and MacRed on the eve before the transfer window opens...

[Medellin]

Spammy..was also called a beefy.
Get some toothpaste on ot! 



Still hear frig off too by the way.

[Medellin]

In conversation speaking about the what I'm doing the weekend..out of the blue I said I was probably goanna go out an get kale-eyed before they shut the pubs on monday.

Kale-eyed..not even sure if it's a scouse thing but it's something I used to hear years ago.

One I haven't heard for donkeys years is 'Kayl-eyed' ( sic )
As in "I got really drunk last night; I was fucking Kayl-eyed."

I don't think it is just a scouse thing mate.
There's a few different forums from around the country that mention it

It is according to the Urban Dictonary.

[liverbloke]

ah with an 'x' though - good find

[So… Howard Philips]

Is that Cunard Yank spelling of kecks?

[Lad]

Ok I’m going a little off piste here...the slow hand clap, don’t hear that any more at the match.

[Dr. Beaker]

Kopping a blimp - to briefly catch sight of. (a very very long time since I heard that one).

[Medellin]

I still say blimp. 

One which the older generation will still say but still a fair amount of the youth will ask what the fuck are you on about is..ten bob.

[Dr. Beaker]

I still say blimp. 

Jesus, I thought I was a dinosaur.

Usually a glimpse of female thigh. Or other nearly erogenous zone.

A small victory in the days when girls didn't go out in bikinis on Xmas Eve.

A saucy bit of ankle perhaps?

Geordies use ken ( home ) or kex . I can't remember which one it is though.

[liverbloke]

my auntie used to say 'penny muck' when buying a penny mix of sweets for the kids

is that a Scouse saying or more a national working class thing?

[Back of the Bus]

Texan.

[kavah]

Texan.

Shout  vintage put down.

[kesey]

Texan.

Love it.

How about Ted or Wham ' ead.

[liverbloke]

never heard of a 'texan' 'wham-ead' or 'ted'

maybe I'm too posh for you lot 

[Stevie-A]

I always assumed 'Texan' was a south end thing (probably totally wrong). Always 'Ted' around my Everton/Kenny stomping grounds.

is 'bag head' a scouse thing?

meaning a drug user - I think came from sniffing glue from a bag but then went on to mean any smack head

ah, is 'smack head' a scouse thing too?

[Medellin]

..which evolved into skag 'ead, has to be unique here.

I heard smack head used on the telly the other day, sure it was an American show, such as Law & Order

[Tesco tearaway]

Ketwig is scouse isn't it?

[Indomitable_Carp]

Like Liverbloke said, its either because I´m under 30, or a posh South-ender (or both), but no idea what a "Ted" is even though I see it thrown around here all the time.

"Smack head" I am pretty sure is universal, along with "Crack head".

I think "bag head" is a Scouse thing, and doesn´t differentiate between either of the above
