okay I’ve had quite enough of this scouse bashing for one week. what with rob’s link to en-scouse and then Andrew sends me a mail today [he is coming to Liverpool with me at the weekend with sprogg] saying he has been teaching sprogg some of the scouse verbs he will need.
to nick
to scouse
to steal
to acquire
to shoplift
to ramraid
to joyride
to deck’em one
and then useful phrases like;
‘aiii! sof-lad!’
‘aaarite’
‘are iain’
‘like’
‘is that your car [sonny]’
‘crimbo’
he forgot to mention to pack his sportskit though – more footy gear than a sports and shorts night!
ha ha ha. i want to start saying ramraid all the time but i don’t know what it means. please advise stupid american.
oi got a light boy?
robertwray.chicken.uk? Daaahlink, chicken is sooo passe!
okay well ramraid – it’s where a scouser drives a car [usually stolen for the purpose] into a shop window [or bank] and then legs it with all the goods and money.
It became so prevelant that it is not unusual to see large metal poles or concrete blocks preventing driving near shop windows.
oh, I’VE done that. yay! i’m a scouser too, mate!
i actually think y’all treat scousers the way we treat people from the far north, like the U.p., but that’s another conversation for another time.
