To love the Scouse accent?

[yellowgummybears]

It's beautiful! Not just the accent but the dialect. I love it, anyone else?

@Iceache Lies, I'm an L post code 😂

I live in Liverpool (not from here) and there’s some nice sing song type accents but so many of them are clearly put on with the way people talk. It’s honestly hilarious at times with some of them. I quite enjoy some of the local slang at times.

@TheBirdintheCave , I once asked somebody if they were from a certain town. They were. I knew one person with exactly that accent. I've never been there and it's not a big town - there are larger villages in the UK.

It's the magical blend of Irish, Welsh and Norwegian that gives the Scouse accent its uniqueness. Swear words and put downs sound so much better in scouse although I maybe be biased.....

Ah eh

Alright wack. My Bootle friend thinks that is from Irish ' a mhac' - basically my son. No idea what 'la' means. Great band though! The accent always makes me smile.

Same, do not like it.

I like very few accents though unless light. Irish is my fav.

My man's a scouser had to ask him to slow down or repeat what he said at first 😂 but I love it, however the variations over Liverpool are different some scousers are quite raspy , they have slightly different Scouse accents, depending which part of Liverpool.

It's so exaggerated by so many people that it's become satirical. It's like they've developed accent blindness and don't realise how fucking stupid they sound. I'm from there and don't feel the need to half hock up some phlegm before I utter a sentence.

You can definitely hear it's Irish origins if you listen close enough.

Surely most of us have both! 😅

Yes my Liverpool friends are all Allerton way and have barely discernible scouse accents.

They often sound like Dubliners to me , especially the ould fellas. What's all this 'phlegm ' crap. Not hearing that at all. I used to know a lovely girl from Knotty Ash. ☺

I'm a scouser and I'm biased. Love a scouse accent. Proud to think of its evolution over 100s of years as a trade port.
Wouldn't live anywhere else in the world either (extensively travelled home and abroad). Love seeing that some of the peddled stereotypes are alive and well 🤣 mostly believed by those who have never visited. One trip will change your mind if you let it!

Scousers are just Irish who can swim 🤣

Love that a true scouser can more or less guess the postcode of another scouser by their accent 🤣

My friends dad is South Liverpool and a little boy once told him that he sounded like Thomas the Tank Engine (Ringo Star)

You can also spot them a mile off 'in the wild' by friend said we've all got 'cousin faces' 🤣🤣🤣

Absolutely
love a scouse accent

Next time you hear someone full on Scouse, listen out for Irish (possibly Northern Irish) and Welsh, and you’ll be surprised. The phlegm references being made is due to the Welsh influence.

Someone told me this, and I then understood what our accent is all about.

I hate people who diss Scousers. It’s usually by people who couldn’t find their way out of a paper bag. I once went out with this bloke from down south whose mum was so snobby and rude to me and told me “all Scousers are thieves”. The stuck up cow was down in London for the day with her DD because DD had stolen someone’s credit card and spent £5k on it, and she was due in court. This is the type of ignorance I’ve come across over the years.

That's interesting, I absolutely love it and I'm Irish, I've never met a scouse in person but I feel drawn to them, maybe there is a familiarity. Stephen Graham and John Bishop are the two that come to mind.

@Alalalalalongalalalalalonglonglilong , they're not scousers.

No!? I've just made a fool of myself so 😁. Whatever they are I like their accents.

Yer aven't made a fool a yerself, is jest dat Steven Graham is a woollybach and John Bishop is a plazzy

Whenever I meet an Irish person, or go to Ireland, they instantly warm to you if you are Scouse. It’s because many Scousers are 2nd or 3rd gen Irish. If you look in a Liverpool phone book it’s full of O’ names. My mum came to live in the UK from Ireland when she was 5, from a border town S/N Ireland. In fact, when we did our family tree, we found someone we thought very dodgy in it, but then when we went to Dublin, found he was a legend with statues everywhere.

When we were in Dublin recently my very well spoken DH made me go the bar all the time as he felt intimidated 😝

Was In France with a large group of Scousers, last week. Horrified to discover them referring to trousers as 'pants.' What is that all about. It made my teeth itch.

They're kecks.
