Scouse is the special way of speaking you hear in Liverpool, a city in the north-west of England. It is not only a few local words: the sounds themselves are different, and people from other parts of Britain can often tell a Scouse speaker in a few seconds. You can use it as a noun (speak Scouse) or as an adjective (a Scouse accent, Scouse humour). The name comes from a cheap stew that sailors and poor families around Liverpool used to eat, also called scouse; that was a short form of an older sailor's dish, lobscouse. The food name stuck to the people, and then to the way they talk. Though actually, younger and older Liverpool speakers do not sound quite the same, and the accent has changed a lot in the last fifty years — outsiders still often treat it as one thing. In Britain the word is everyday and not rude by itself, but jokes about Scouse can be , so watch the tone.
組成From scouse, a stew popular around Liverpool; scouse was originally a short form of lobscouse, a sailor's stew. The food name later came to mean the local way of speaking.
