Has 'skinny ma links' been mentioned yet?
Can remember using it as a skit at skinny mates when I was young; don't know if it was just a Liverpool thing though.

Skinnermarink a dink a dink, Skinnnermarink a do...…

In 60's Liddypool, everything was dead.

Dead great, dead good, dead 'orrible, dead gorj, dead grotty.

Don't know if already mentioned but when i was growing up 'me tart' to describe the wife/girlfriend was widely used...

I used it recently and got it down the banks for doing so from a much younger crowd - all who claimed they had never heard it/thought it was rude....

Does anyone say me Judy anymore?

When Marillion played the Royal Court in the early 80's, Fish mentioned the use of the word in Liverpool when introducing the song Punch and Judy.

I use "me Judy" and "me tart". Real man me ( don't tell her though).

Does "Judy" come from Punch and Judy?

I was looking throgh a history of the Royal Navy today and came across a photo of a group of WWII sailors on the mess deck tucking into some food. The caption was "Big eats", something my dad came out with whenever we had something to eat other than mince or scouse or Irish stew.

You just made me think of something. A week before my daughter was born one of my mates asked me if I was attending the birth. My answer was yes , of course. His response was . Make sure you stand in the Kop and not the Anny Road.

I'm not entirely sure if it was just Scouse, and this is going back a long time to the very early 60's and before the coming of trainers, but I seem to recall pumps or plimpsolls that most of us had to wear for any field sports in school back then, sometimes being called sand shoes.

kavah · « **Reply #1135 on:** August 2, 2019, 11:35:27 pm »

^ From Wikipedia

...developed as beachwear in the 1830s by the Liverpool Rubber Company (Dunlops)....

That would perhaps explain it.

I also remember there was a lad who turned up around '64 or so for running and cross country wearing what were then known as spikes.

Needless to say, he won everything while the rest of us struggled in our pumps.

Is mugged just a scouse thing?

Mugged as in "I mugged me Mam the weekend" or the way we used it was that you dropped your Mam £50 or whatever amount to treat herself with.

This time last year I was persuaded by my late mum to accompany her and a couple of her pals to the bingo (they sold ale so I was in).

Anyway, half way through the game and some arl one shouts out 'HOUSE' but it turns out she was wrong. My mum turns round and goes, "its a bogey!"

I thought a bogey was either something you picked out your nose or when someone phoned a taxi to the house but nobody was in, "I've just gone to Queens Drive but it was a bogey!"

Hahah tickled me good style it did!

I was there for 4.

Dreaded the LaMaze stuff at the time and thought Kop, but when push came to shove I was watching my baby come out and ready to catch her.

All those years I never noticed that Hardman St. was only 3 blocks long before it became Leece for 2 blocks at Rodney.

How the Hell did that happen?

Just found the answer. Old town and Leece ended at Rodney, above was Hardman in a newer development.

My kids used 'soz' (with complete insincerity) when caught out when we were living in Netherley in the 70s.

Not far from Widnes really..

To be honest it could be in the takey/seater area of debate.
If someone said seater or anything other than takey to me in my youth..I'd have definitely thought wool too.

It was always seater where I was from in Netherton - only heard 'takey' for the first time up in t'Helens.

Crossy meant a ride on someone's crossbar.

Heard Push Bike for the first time in Southport.

I always said Bikey for a bike ride but I guess that could said be anywhere in the country.
