Classsic scouse insults



It`s the context of the insult.

I`d never thought about this, until my mate, who`s an exiled scouser in East Yorkshire, brought this to my attention.

The term " knobhead " in Liverpool can mean two things :

" alright knobhead " > alright mate.

" you`re an utter knobhead " > you`re a total prick.

He said if you if you called someone a knobhead in any form where he lives, you`d invariably be starting a fight !

I had a mate whose wife was from overseas and explaining this and the differences between beaut , belter , knobhead etc was extremely challenging .
