To love the Scouse accent?

[yellowgummybears]

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

I do this. It annoys my Southern husband 😂

Why did you think the ancestor was ‘dodgy’?

I remember having German guests staying with us and there was a news item on TV with a report on the ground from Northumberland, OH and I, both Northern, couldn't understand the majority of it yet our German guests understood it perfectly. I do like the Geordie accent though, the problem is I tend to pick it up very quickly.

I don't hate it, but then I don't like it either.

Geordie and southern Ireland make me come over all funny though 🤣

So many people on TV now like to play up their accents, Scouse, Yorkshire, etc., years ago we were in a restaurant and at the next table was a former Yorkshire cricketer who on TV liked to speak with a very broad accent, however when he was talking to people there he sounded like any other Yorkshireman.

I love it, my daughter lives there. Always makes me smile.

Love Northern accents! All of them!

What colour is your bin?

I used to like it, my family is from Liverpool and I lived there as a child. I don’t like the current exaggerated version though, it’s completely different to the way my dad speaks despite having grown up there.

I love that sing songy accent that say the Beatles had but I don’t like the gutteral almost forced accent that some people seem to have now.

What does lazzy mean?

100% agree with this! Saw a poster include St Helens, Skem, Runcorn?! They're not scousers! Neither is anyone from over the water, they're not part of South Liverpool!!
It's such a varied accent. You can tell someone's age and which part of the city they're from by their accent. I love that about it.
The old scouse/Irish type accent my grandparents had is so rare now, it warms my heart whenever I hear it.
I love being a Scouser, I'd never live anywhere else. So nice to hear the positive comments about our accent on this thread!

As a PP said, The Beatles had the nicest of the Scouse variants.
Really soft and melodic 😍🎼

I quite like Mancunian accents. Better than scousers.

I love the bin arguments!! I grew up in Knowsley before we had wheely bins but moved to Croxteth Park after leaving uni and bought my first house which came with a lovely purple bin!

many years later I’m back in Knowsley so now have a maroon bin and it’s not quite the same. I have an L postcode but it’s bins that matter.

Loads of people say pants for trousers surely? Anyway in this case it was fitting vocabulary seeing at it comes from pantaloon / pantalon which in French…means trousers 😂

I love the softer sounding scousers like Jodie Comer

My least favourite accent. Love a Mancunian or Geordie accent though.

Jesus yeah even I struggle with West Kerry 😆The Healy-Rae's are a sound to behold

Same

@Iceache One does not need a purple bin to be Scouse 😬

Not a fan of love the Scots (Edinburgh) accent and Irish (Dublin) accents. Not a fan of the Welsh accent either which is unfortunate!

@sanityisamyth , there are lots of different Welsh accents. Someone from Llanelli will have a completely different accent to someone from Connah's Quay.

@JudgeJ , people from Northumberland aren't Geordies.

The Really -Hays are more South Kerry though. They eat dere dinner in de middle of de dae baieee! Actually I met Michael Healy - Rae and he can switch codes. But Dónal ...well some app will be along soon to interpret his musings about leprechauns causing pot holes in Kilgarvan or whatever.

I’m from Liverpool but live on the dark side now (the Wirral) . My kids were saying to me last week sometimes dad ( dh)sounds like you, l said what do you mean and started saying all the words we say differently, to me we just sound the same. I like how l sound and could never in my life think of any accent that l would say l didn’t like because who gives it that much thought.

l never say goodbye/bye it’s alway Ta ra, which l believe is from the Irish language of meaning take care, it’s the only thing the kids say the same as me as the say dressing gown and book “properly” 🤣🤣
