Scouse ( /ˈskaʊs/) is an accent and dialect of English found primarily in the Metropolitan county of Merseyside, and closely associated with the city of Liverpool and the adjoining urban areas such as the boroughs of south Sefton, Knowsley and the Wirral. Scouse is notable in some circumstances for a fast, highly accented manner of speech, with a range of rising and falling tones not typical of most of northern England. Variations within the accent and dialect are noted, along with popular colloquialisms, that show a growing deviation from the historical Lancashire dialect^[6] and a growth in the influence of the accent in the wider area. Inhabitants of Liverpool are called Liverpudlians but are more often described by the colloquialism “Scousers”.^[9] The word “scouse” is a shortened form of “lobscouse”, derived from the Norwegian lapskaus (and/or the Low German Labskaus), a word for a meat stew commonly eaten by sailors. In the 19th century, people who commonly ate “scouse” such as local dockers, families and sailors became known as “scousers” especially in the north end of Liverpool and the “Wallasey Pool”.
