Scouse

"Scouse" refers to both the distinctive dialect and accent of people from Liverpool, England, and the cultural identity associated with the city. The term is also used to describe residents themselves. Originating from the naval stew called "lobscouse," the word evolved to represent Liverpool’s working-class community. The accent features unique pronunciation patterns, and the dialect includes specific slang and phrases. Liverpool's rich maritime history and diverse population greatly influence the Scouse identity, which is often associated with warmth, humor, and pride in local heritage.
