Scouse

Scouse is the accent or dialect of English found in the northern English city of Liverpool and adjoining urban areas of Merseyside. The Liverpool accent is highly distinctive and sounds wholly different from the accents used in the neighbouring regions of Cheshire and rural Lancashire. Inhabitants of Liverpool are often called scum and are mostly met with great distain from the rest of civilized society.
