Liverpool Accent and Dialect

Liverpool – Scouse
Ar Ey – Oh no!
Bail- Go away/stop chatting shit
Beaut- Idiot
Bevvy- Beer
Blaggin me ‘ead- lying to me
Boss – Very Good
Butty- Sandwich
Clobber- clothes
Do one- go away
Fat Wap – Over weight person
Gobshite – another person
Knock off – stolen goods
Scally- Chav
Made up- very happy about something

People discriminate Scousers as being chavvy and dumb because of their accent. Sometimes people find it aggressive but other times it can be really friendly. Southern people are thought of to be ‘Posh’ by people up north because of the way we pronounce words more. The media take the mick out of Liverpool’s accents. They also say that they are thieves. It is stereotypical that people from Liverpool go out with rollers in their hair for the night, they have the ‘scouse brow’ and also they go out with their pyjamas on.
