From 'trabs' for trainers to 'Z-Cars' for the police, understand both the roots and key words of one of England's most widely recognised dialects. It's said that Scouse, with its quick repartee and colourful choice of words, reflects the character of its speakers more accurately than any other dialect in the UK.

The word 'Scouse' has three meanings: a stew made from cheap cuts of meat which was once the staple diet of Liverpool's working class; a native of Liverpool; and a dialect spoken by Liverpudlians.
