mothergoddamn, who thieved it from mcgarrygirl78:
Age: 29
Where you grew up: Village on the edge of Liverpool, transplanted to various places in my twenty-nine years.
1. A body of water, smaller than a river, contained within relatively narrow banks:
- Brook
2. What the thing you push around the grocery store is called:
- Supermarket, you mean. A trolley.
3. A metal container to carry a meal in:
- Lunch box.
4. The thing that you cook bacon and eggs in:
- A frying pan.
5. The piece of furniture that seats three people:
- Sofa
6. The device on the outside of the house that carries rain off the roof:
- I think this is a gutter...?
7. The covered area outside a house where people sit in the evening:
- Conservatory.
8. Carbonated, sweetened, non-alcoholic beverages:
- Lemonade
9. A flat, round breakfast food served with syrup:
- Pancake.
10. A long sandwich designed to be a whole meal in itself:
- Baguette.
11. The piece of clothing worn by men at the beach:
- Swimming trunks.
12. Shoes worn for sports:
- Trainers. (The 'correct' Liverpudlian term is trainees.)
13. Putting a room in order:
- Tidying it up!
14. A flying insect that glows in the dark:
- Wat.
15. The little insect that curls up into a ball:
- Are you sure you don't mean a hedgehog?
16. The children's playground equipment where one kid sits on one side and goes up while the other sits on the other side and goes down:
- See-saw
17. How do you eat your pizza:
- Er, I put it in my mouth.
18. What's it called when private citizens put up signs and sell their used stuff:
- Car boot sale.
19. What's the evening meal?:
-
Note: Liverpudlian term is generally 'tea'.
20. The thing under a house where the furnace and perhaps a rec room are:
- Furnace? Rec room? I'm going to go with cellar, I suppose.
21. What do you call the thing that you can get water out of to drink in public places:
- A drinking fountain.
Liverpudlian/Scouse-isms:
Trabs - alternate word for trainers or trainees
Made up - Happy, as in 'I'm made up!'
Shady - horrible/underhanded. Usage would be, 'don't be shady!' when doing something horrible. Or underhanded.
Auld arse - (pronounced owl ass) mean-spirited person
Lash - to throw away
Go 'ed then - Please, go on
Grotty - dirty
Eeeeeeeee - That's disgusting. (The length of the 'e' is proportionate to the speaker's distate.)
Yer wa? - Please could you repeat yourself?
Yer ma on toast - I respectfully disagree
I don't tend to use the terms above, or any like them. It's more to do with having to straighten out my voice to be understood by people outside the city than snobbery.
Oh, all right. It's snobbery, too. I mean, trainees?

Lemonade is carbonated in Liverpool? I knew there was a reason I needed to come there.

Oh, yeah! I don't really like lemonade, but carbonated drinks seem to benefit my volcanic stomach acid.
