@process It's so fucking weird.😂
@FrankCannon As you know, I'm a Proddy dog, but even I think that looks more like a Monty Python convention 🙀 @process
@see_the_sus It's a somewhat derogatory name given to Protestants (or more specifically Church of England for most of us) in Liverpool by local Catholics. Sometimes it's an insult, others it's just banter.
I'm not religious in the slightest, but at least when I was little *everyone* got Christened, and you were generally either Catholic or Protestant. 👍 @FrankCannon @process
@BillyBones Mainly banter these days though some from the Gwladys St end still take that shit very seriously.Bunch of balloonknots. @see_the_sus @process
@FrankCannon Coincidentally the only people who've ever used it vindictively to me have been Bluenoses 🤔
(I know that sounds ironic, but I don't use that word for them as a put-down)
@BillyBones daft question, is blue noses linked to the Toffees?
The Navy had a different definition of blue nose and I'm not one of them
@Mauve_matelot @BillyBones @FrankCannon @process
Ok, now my brain feels like it’s on a roller coaster with all these terms! 😂
@see_the_sus It's abroad for me too now.😂 @Mauve_matelot @BillyBones @process
@see_the_sus I'm in a similar position Sue, some terms can be very geographical specific and as my maternal Grandmother was a liverpudlian, there are some things that I heard as a youngster but after 18 years since her death my knowledge is a touch rusty, hence me checking my understanding
@Mauve_matelot Scouse is it's own little language......indecipherable to most.👍
@see_the_sus @BillyBones @process
@FrankCannon Jackspeak has its own dictionary to help translate Navy jargon to understandable language, there are still occasions when an odd term drops out and Stueytheround looks confused.
Giggles @stueytheround you salty muppet!
@Mauve_matelot Between infantry terms and Scouse,Amy gets very confused at times.😂 @see_the_sus @BillyBones @process
@FrankCannon This does not surprise me one bit. Sweet dreams folks
@Mauve_matelot She's had it for a good few years now......the locals haven't though.😂 @see_the_sus @BillyBones @process
I watch a lot of TV shows and movies from across the pond but I definitely have never heard any of what y'all have been saying! 😆
@see_the_sus the media presentations of a place only scratch the surface snd so you have now glimpsed some of the rest of Britain calls normal life.
@Mauve_matelot Some places would need subtitles if they portrayed accents,etc,with 100% accuracy.
@see_the_sus @BillyBones @process
@see_the_sus Should spend a day in a Scouse alehouse.😂 @Mauve_matelot @BillyBones @process
