Meeting Scousers can be a little difficult at first, because talking them can be like trying to understand Latin if you didn’t go to a private school. There are words that don’t even make any sense when you hear them, so you just go along with it and pretend like you know what’s going on until you fully adapt. Until now. During your time at Liverpool you should’ve learnt all of these by now, but since that 2:1 has gotta be scraped and you spend half your day looking for a seat in the library, we’ve broken them down for you so you can actually be at your boss best. A shorter version of the word ‘off-licence’ meaning corner shop or anywhere that you can buy alcohol or ciggies. A endearing pet name, or someone who is looking amazing, usually said when you’ve finished getting ready on a night out.

Liverpool is the UK’s fifth largest city, and its locals are called Liverpudlians – and, more popularly, Scousers. The city consequently became a melting pot of several languages and dialects as sailors, traders and migrants from other parts of Britain, Ireland and northern Europe came to the city. The term is often bandied about when referring to young lads with long curly hair - but what does that have to do with ketamine? Visitors to the city have been getting in touch to ask us why our young lads are sporting these mad hair styles and so naturally, we’ve put together a bit of a low down, you know, the 411, the deal about the Ket Wig. These bushy, frizzy barnets have been all the rage for a good couple of years now, and despite this look being wildly popular among our youths, it’s actually nothing new. What is a Ket Wig?

The Ket Wig trend is actually pretty versatile, in winter the mop of hair acts as an additional layer of insulation, in summer its more of a challenge but some lads manage to jam a North Face cap over their wig resulting in more of a Side Show Bob kind of look. Is it better than a man bun though? We’re not convinced.The word “scouse” comes from the word “lobscouse” which is a type of stew that was bought to Liverpool by Norweign soldiers. The stew has been a popular dish in Liverpool ever since. Liverpudlians use this colloquialism themselves and do not find it offensive; in fact, they see it as a badge of honour. They proudly speak in their own unique way, using Scouse/Liverpudlian slang.
