I’ve grown to really like the Glasgow accent (to be distingished from a ned accent which is a bit like Glaswegian spoken entirely through the nose)

Awae an beai yer heid; literally ‘go and boil your head’; to be used when you’re talking to someone you are fed up with and wish to go away (similar to f\*ck off).

Scunnered; completely fed up/shattered/p\*ssed off; ‘ah canny be bothered wi goan tae the pub the night mate, ahm scunnered’

Bealin; literally ‘boiling’; means really bloody angry

Hod tha bus; literally ‘hold the bus’; means ‘wait a minute’

Hingin a mince; very ugly

Cooncil juice; literally ‘council juice’; means water

My favourite:

Awae an sh\*te; used when someone says something that’s utter nonsense in an attempt to win a argument; ‘da said ah could huv tha last slice’ ‘awae an shite, he dudnae say anyhin aboot ut’

I am repatriating **Hod tha bus** , Kingdom Come.

I like it.

In the process, I will restore it to its former glory of **Hold the bus**.

[_Said in an accent akin to that of the fat butler from Downtown(sic) Abbey_]

A couple of scouse updates:-

**Causing murder**

Someone creating a fuss, almost certainly _not_ involving killing anyone.

> **[Watch: Liverpool bus driver push passenger from bus](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/watch-liverpool-bus-driver-push-9821541)**
>
> The video has been watched thousands of times on social media

**have murder with, to**

When someone knows they’re going to have a barney with someone else, and announces it up front. “I’m going to have murder with that bastard when I see him”

Ok, smartarse Sotonian linguists (fowllyd this means you) - how do we pronounce ‘Midtjylland’?

It isn’t really ‘midget-land’ is it?

(I feel like I’ve lived in midget land all my life - but that’s another story…)

Can we add dances to the list?

I think I will try and learn this one for an upcoming matchday drinks session:
