Scouse

[Bundy]

I've been reading that Scouse accent is similar to Australian accent, is this true? Supposidly because there is a lot of Irish decendants in Liverpool and Australia

 

[bluebloodinmyveins]

Dunno about it being similar. But there is definitely a lot of Irish in Australia and in Merseyside....so I'm sure a lot of the same words and phrases are used by both.

The Aussie accent reminds me more of d1ck Van Dyke putting on a mockney accent to be honest. All the barths and darnces n that

[Bundy]

We speak with an accent exceedingly rare,
Meet under a statue exceedingly bare

You live by a harbour exceedingly fair, if we're looking for beaches you've got loads to spare.

I've got an Aussie friend and she's always saying yous (or however you spell it). That's about the only scouse similarity I've heard though.

in which case all the aussies should go for the audition for the film, it's true though have you not noticed that every time cahill shouts for the ball it ends up back with hibbo, they just sound so alike

if anything it'll be that the scouse accent will be getting diluted by all the antipodean tv shows that the lids watch inbetween xbox games, and they all probably want to be chopper.

I remember in the '80's everyone started ending their sentences like a question round here like they do in AUS because they all watched too much Neighbours. Was well annoying that

 

[Seamus Colemole]

The aussie accent rules, i wish i had one.

I put a fake one on but it tends to go through India, Wales and Liverpool by the end of my sentance.

 

[TsarDiniyar]

do aussies call people in general "lids"?

 

[Seamus Colemole]

You flaming gallah.

 

[Reidy's Bottle Of Grecian]

they call anyone with ginger hair....blue. i think its cos they are usually pale and veiny
