This is how we do it in Liverpool

[Shippers]

Laa means mate and mate means friend, and kid means man. Your ma's your mam and your lids yer mate, but your lid's not you kid. Your mate's your laa, so your laa's your lid. 'Hey laa, hows our kid, yer lid n yer ma?'

You alright there laa? Keeping up? Sound lad, sound.

'Boss' means sound, sound means great, and that means laughing. It doesn't mean laughing as in lmao or lol, it means laughing as in thats sound that lid. Your boss isn't boss, and he's not your lid, he's the man, but he's not your kid or your lid. Got that laa?

Goin west, is going sick, going sick and west isnt like going green, or white; but the green stuff sends you white, and the whitestuff makes you sick. Saying "thats sick" means saying that's a beast, which means it's boss. So sick is good, but going sick is never good. Are you getting that? It's bang on that lad, BANG ON!

Can i buy a bifter? Means giz a ciggie, ciggie means fag, and fag means queer. Queer means odd lad, and odd means mad. If you're a madhead you're a baghead, you're probably off your head, and then you'll be doing my head in. Doing my head in doesn't mean I'm offended, it means you're annoying me.

When you do their heads in they say "what you looking at?" Dont tell them, it means get lost. Wash your neck means get away and get away means better run. Get the message?
Getting the messages is going to the shop. The shop is where the busies are, the busies are the rozzas, and the rozzas are the cops. If the rozzas are on your case then you better wash your neck laa. The rozzas might be on your case if you've been casing a joint, but that's not like joint that means bifter. If the busies get you it's fair cop, but that's not Kop. Kop isn't like kopping off, kopping off is like getting off, and getting off is like getting it on. You get me?

You get me is not like get lost, it means get the message, not messsages like getting the messages, but like get the crack? You might be doing crack if you're a baghead, and if you are you're probably doing it for the cracke, but if you get the crack that's like you get me?

Got me?

This is how we do it in Liverpool.

You know that post has just cleared up about 3 years of conversations I used to have with a scouse mate of mine

[Shippers]

it's all true - it's a different language, one wish goes around in circles and never actually resolves to mean anything at all.

Funny enough, 'laa' also means 'mate' in certain circles in Australia! (Though they go for 'la' instead of 'laa' - as in "You alright, la?")

well essentially australia is a prison - so where else do you expect scousers to go?
