Finally! Finally I understand 2/3 of the title of the old Monkees song, "Randy Scouse Git." Up 50% from previous level of knowledge. I am still having trouble with "git".attofishpi wrote: ↑Thu Feb 08, 2018 6:10 pm The scouser accent is the zenith in English accent sexyness - up North it's hard to find a decent one - but Liverpool stands alone.
My friend Paul who has a degree in English, and is one of the most cultured guys I know with encyclopedic knowledge, had had trouble with "jiggered". He lived to be 42 before he actually got the meaning.
English English to a person speaking North-American English is not transparent, like the other way around.
Four speakers (or at least three) of the few of the clearest and most beautiful British accents were the Beatles -- with the possible exception of Ringo -- and they were from Liverpool. I don't know if they had a scouser accent, as I only learned the word today.
Anyone care to post the answer? To the question: did the Beatles sing and speak in a scouser accent?
