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.

The name comes from這個名字來自 a cheap stew一種便宜的燉菜 that sailors and poor families around Liverpool used to eat以前利物浦附近的水手和窮困家庭常吃的，also called scouse也叫做scouse；that was a short form這是縮寫 of an older sailor's dish, lobscouse來自一道更早的水手菜lobscouse。The food name stuck to the people這個食物的名字先黏在這些人身上，and then to the way they talk後來又黏到他們說話的方式上。

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 unkind, so watch the tone.
