Scouse

[malcolm]

I've just realised that some overseas viewers may not have caught on to everything that Ron says.

A study of the Liverpudlian language can be enlightening. Overall most phrases can be understood, but there are a few which would have many people flummoxed.

I think the writers avoided any which are really only understood just north of the Mersey.

I do seem to recall Ron coming out with 'Az If'. I think we all get the meaning, but just in case it can be translated as 'I do not believe that'.

Does anyone remember which episode(s) Ron said it?

One or two of the broadest Scouse words -

Bevied Up – Drunk
'De Bizzies – Police
Antwakky – ancient
‘Arf a Bar – half a crown
‘Arf a Sheet – ten shillings
Bootle Buck – Hard faced lady
Darryl – That Will
Dollypegs – legs
Diddyman – Small person
De latchlifter, De entrance fee – price of half a pint
E yockered on me – He spat on me
Blind Scouse – vegetarian scouse
Flies Symmetry – Eccles Cakes
Boff – Five Pound note
Hey, Yu wid de ‘ead – Waiter
Joey – thruppeny piece
I wanna new wicker wacker - I need a new suit, my man
Lecky - the electric
Loop de loop - soup
Make yor name walker, Wack - Get lost
Marmalise - Beat Up
Me Nin - My grandmother (I think Ron used this one)
Twerlies - Old people
Sarawak - Farewell
Sarnies - Sandwiches
Gartons - Handkerchief (Snot Rag backwards)
Wet Nelly - Weakling
When Donnelly docked - A long time ago

The thing I don't get is it is clear Ron comes from Liverpool , the actor himself is Scouse isn't he? But isn't Ron A Man Utd fan in GNS? If so hows that happen?
