Scouse dialect?

angelwitch · August 23, 2012

I'm quite good at working our most dialects, but some scouse words here leave me confused.

Azul used the word sausage barm. What is a barm?

Many of you use the word lid. What is a lid?

RS was another, but was explained to me.

Explanations most appreciated.

Barm = bun, bap, roll
Lid = Lad

Great thread that, forgot all about it.

That Azul is a serious slacker. Needs updating.

Lovely jubbly. Lid - lad, or as Lennon would say la. And barm, roll. I heard another good one: mug of splosh. I imagaine that is a mug of tea. I love dialects, scouse is without doubt the hardest. I'm getting there. I'll check out that link Moutsgoat. Cheers lads (y)

Scouse accents on a bird are tremendous. They say some delightfully mucky things too.

Jesus, I'm going down to that list - its a different language. Beard: a long time, ages. Christ, I thought us Dubs had slang - this is something else. Execellent (y)

Dinner with demons: post match defeat, narrated by the ghost of Dixie Dean. As an aside: My father in law saw Dixie Dean play before the war.

I went to a cafe with my boss the other day and got f*cking ketchup on his Bacon Sandwich.

I nearly quit there and then, it was an aberration.

Yup, I'm Irish, mate - a lot of these are the same - but the vast majority are unreal. I love it. Brown is not on the list - I assume a non red. No, I'm not Pool. I like Arsenal - I got into them in 1978 when everybody on my road were Liverpool supporters. I liked the Irish connection with Jennings, Nelson, Rice, Brady, Stapleton, O'Leary, Divine, and the emblem of the cannon.

Wish my father in law was still alive - he'd tell you some stories. He saw Dixie before the war, and countless other greats at Stamford Bridge. After the war he started a family and with the expense and his shifts as a bus driver for London transport he stopped going to the games. He died in 2010 at 89, man the stories he had. I used to keep him on the phone for hours. All the old black and white greats we see in magazines etc, he saw many of them. I think he was at the Wembly game when Hungry beat England 6 - 3 - I'm almost sure he saw the great magyars; too late to ask him now - but I'm almost sure he said he was there - either that or he was listening to the game on the radio. That kind of stuff from the horses mouth is unbeatable, mate.
