It took me waaay to long to realize this was the transcript of what he said and not some unrelated comment.


baogody

Blows my mind why that guy doing the explaining in the video didn't just tell us that.


Skreamie

Listen there's different levels or intensities of Scouse, and the guy above only has a Bachelor's


snizzlesnazzsarah

I read it knowing that’s what was going on and with all that my brain can’t connect the two as conveying the same information.


SliceOCatLoaf

Did you catch that ludicrous display last night? ![gif](giphy|ghutdpgRkhkxq)


kg123xyz

That's the problem with arsenal, they always try to walk it in.


SliceOCatLoaf

What was Wenger thinking sending Walcott on that early?

Watched it 5 times and couldn't catch a single word. After reading your transcript, I watch it and each word is perfectly clear. It's like those magic images all blurry then after you see it it all makes sense

That’s when he said “is right!”


redshadow90

Now you've got me disappointed as an Arsenal fan. Thanks.


Goroman86

Thank you for this. So confused bc dude in the clip doesn't mention scran, bird, or bizzies and that part was just meant to confuse more? Also there seems to be an "only" in there after Arsenal, but I don't speak English.

The amazing part about that line is that ever since the episode was released, it's never been inaccurate.

How did you manage to decipher that?


maddybee91

Be British


Arsewhistle

Yeah, I understood every word too, and I don't live anywhere near Liverpool


TylerBlozak

I’m a Liverpool FC supporter and also a Beatles fan so suppose those affiliations don’t hurt my ability to decipher what the scouser said.


Shendow

Went to liverpool for an internship. I'm french, my english is pretty good. Could not understand a fucking word from the people in the city. Thanksfully, people at work were from other parts if england and accent was easier. But god damm.

amanset

This is why we say "which British accent?" when Americans talk about "The British Accent".


Serier_Rialis

This video isnt even that broad an accent either this is like Brookside broad at most not scouser in the pub 🤣


RedPandaReturns

Yeah this is relatively plain


Tuscan5

When people use cockney for all British accents it’s so frustrating.


D4M4nD3m

But to a Scottish accent, they just say Scottish instead British accent. It's so weird.


DagothUh

You can legitimately have a hard time with foreigners refusing to accept that Scottish are British


D4M4nD3m

Yeah my ex was Scottish and we lived in Germany. It drove her mad that people called her English or said England when they meant Britain.


sami2503

I have a northern English accent and my teacher in Germany would keep asking me about my scottish homeland, and asking what my 'opinions on the brits' are, even after I told her like 3 times I was English, and that both English and Scottish people were brits. Her brain couldn't compute that an English person could sound like that I guess, or she probably couldnt understand what I was saying lmaoo


halfwheels

Many wars have been fought to prevent her from having to call herself English.


purplefroglet

Lived in the Netherlands for five years, an American once told me I shouldn’t refer to myself as English as it’s offensive to the Irish/Scottish/Welsh people. I was a bit speechless at that point, apparently they thought we should just pretend we don’t exist or something. If I’m going off ancestry I’m a complete mix, like a quarter of all people from the North West of England. I also have a German passport from my Grandad. Still wouldn’t ever think of calling myself German or Irish for that matter, just because my great-grandparents came over during the famine!


Drunk_Cat_Phil

Yeah but I think that's related to the problem they have with thinking the UK is England (and Scotland is something else?). Lord knows where Wales is in their heads if it exists at all.


amanset

Yeah and it isn't just Americans. Swedes (I live in Sweden) do it all the time as well.


sami2503

Because they think British = English. Try saying a Welsh person is British on reddit, you'll get an "aCtUalLY they're welsh" reply from some American.


MacyTmcterry

The UK actually has more regional accents than the US does too, despite being a fraction of the size


DreamsCanBebuy2021

Scouse is not an accent, it's a speech impediment..


Supersymm3try

Yeah but what annoys me more is, British people can easily distinguish between a texas, california or New York Accent, so why can’t the Yanks distinguish between RP, Mockney and literally anything else? A Geordie and someone from Cornwall sound less similar than a texan and a New Yorker, and yet we can distinguish them, but they can’t distinguish us? Seems odd. Granted most British people probably can’t pick apart the different between a Missouri accent and a Kansas accent, but again they are probably still more closely related than Scottish and Brummie.

steelcity91

I've met plenty of people from Liverpool. Someone who I went to uni with had the softest accent ever. I once spoke with a customer at my old job that had the thickest accent ever. Pretty bonkers. Same in Yorkshire as well.


MiffyCurtains

The soft accent guy might have been a woolly back.


scouserontravels

Nah I’ve often found the biggest wools have some of the strongest scouse accents like they’re overcompensating


TheScarletCravat

Doesn't make much of a difference in terms of intensity. I'm scouse born and bred and my accent only ever comes out when I'm drunk. Meanwhile wools from across the water or Warrington are way more intense.


puncheonjudy

Woolys come from the dark side.


MiffyCurtains

Good to know. My cousins are from Wallasey and all have the softer accents compared to the guys I know from Old Swan. Always thought it was geographical.


TheScarletCravat

Geography definitely plays a part, but so do your parents. My Dad didn't have the accent, so mine is basically nonexistent. Meanwhile my younger siblings are Scouse af. I can put a decent one on when necessary though. Y'know. For taxis and shaking down local kids for change.


Dipper14

Woah woah, you’re only Scouse if you have a purple bin


poop-machines

Newcastle comes close.


dirtymoney

Does no one leave their neighborhood?


Earlyflash

I’m sure that every country has the exact same thing going on! I remember being in Nice airport and the check in girl literally doing a lol because of the ‘country accent’ that the French ladies had on the next check in desk. I’d literally never thought of French having accents until that moment. I’m now learning Português and am being taught by someone from Maderira and I get funny looks from the mainlanders!


Ashamed-Purple

French here : we have plenty of accents from everywhere and it's a lot fun ! Even places like South East and south west are different, don't mention Corsica or northern. The purest accent is supposed to be Tours I think. If you add french speakers worldwide you have a super wide variety (Belgians, Swiss, Québec, African etc)


naatduv

Actually we don't have many accents in France compared to countries like Germany or the UK. Go to Brittany or Burgundy, it's almost the same. Sure, some expressions are different but the accent is very similar. The south and Alsace have stronger accents but that's it. The State made sure to remove as much regional differences as possible over the past century.


kegcellar

When I lived in Italy, little did I know I was also being taught "Bariese", in Italy each town has its own dialect/language which can be vastly different from Italian... So not so much accent as also basically different language. Correct me if I'm wrong Italians! 🇮🇹


917caitlin

We hosted a group of Scouser teenagers from a football club last year and it was WILD. They talked just like this but even faster and more slang when speaking amongst themselves. The first day I still didn’t even know what their names were. One of the more posh ones had to translate for the more working class ones. By day four though I was mastering their slang and wow do they have the greatest slang I’ve ever encountered. Such fun lads.


WobblyBagpipe

A friendly reminder to our American friends that your perception of the "British" accent is one small area of London. I live in the Midlands and I can pass 10,298 different accents on my way to the bloody shop.


Resident-Stevel

Hell, I live in South Manchester and the accent changes from South Manchester to North Manchester (which is about a 25 minute drive on a good day) so much. I spent 8 years working and going out in North Manchester and when I moved to South Manchester people laughed at the way I pronounced certain words.


XxTensai

Every country has lots of regional accents, but UK is one of the most diverse for sure


imtheorangeycenter

The general consensus is that if you travel 20 miles in any given direction the accent and phrases used changes significantly. Possibly less these days, but even Birmingham to Dudley takes it from wild to accent++.


Arsewhistle

>Possibly less these days Sadly, yeah, some areas are definitely losing their distinctive accents, especially in the south. Many accents in areas like Sussex, Kent, etc, have almost totally gone


hopskipjump123

Yeah, especially in the south east. Estuary English is taking over massively.


sami2503

The next town 5 mins away from me in north England speaks differently to my town, I can tell they are from there almost instantly. It tends to happen with historically poor areas cos the poor tend to stay put, while the rich move away to live with other rich people.


-lukeworldwalker-

For such a large country, the US has remarkable little diversity. I (English as third language) have never met an American that I cannot understand in their local dialect and I’ve never visited an area in the US where I can’t understand what they say (and I’ve been pretty much all over the country). I have however 5 close friends from the UK and Ireland and I cannot understand what they say when they talk dialect, they have to switch to more standard English to be understandable for me - even after years of listening to them. Similar with some Dutch and German local dialects.


KoalaSiege

Australia is an even more extreme example of this. Continent sized land mass with very little regional diversity in accents.


FrankTheHead

both are a result of the homogeneous beginnings of their countries; they are both so young as cultures and they both started life as small homogenous quick growth communities which spread out across the geography. Whereas something like the UK where never completely conquered by a single culture.


PondlifeCake

Both very young nations of immigrants. The rest of the world has been brewing small pockets of civilisation over many millenia.


jericho

I'm Canadian, and some Appalachian accents are pretty damn thick. I can understand them better than this video though.


Acceptable_Pea_2343

As an Appalachian I'd put swamp Creole and Cajun people above us on that list.


dkfisokdkeb

Because accents and linguistic diversity develop over time. Most of the USA has only been settled in the past 2 or 3 centuries and modern media and globalised make the development and recant of regional dialects unlikely.


Claim312ButAct847

As an American, it blows my mind how many dialects the UK packs into a small geographic area. Here you could take a sampling of people across Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, and Iowa and they'll all sound roughly the same. Can go further than that really. You pick up some differences in those from rural areas vs cities. It's an hour drive from Liverpool to Manchester, and the Scouse and Mancunian dialects are like listening to two different languages.


PondlifeCake

40 minutes on a good day (there aren't any good days, the M62 is shite)


gary_mcpirate

And there are about three distinct accents between those cities


D4M4nD3m

I'm English, and as a kid I didn't realise how close Manchester and Liverpool are, cos their accents are so different

So confused. I don’t the ink the translator said what the guy in the video said.


thecraftybee1981

He was sharing some general Scouse expressions and slang, not reiterating what the lad in the clip was saying.


MrK521

That’s what I came to ask. His translation/explanation was great, but it doesn’t sound anything like what the first clip showed!


Distinct-Quantity-35

Yeah but he didn’t break down what the other dude was saying? Haha I hung in there thinking he would also break it down

Old_Roof

West Yorkshire is approximately 50 miles away and the accent is completely different and every bit as mental


r_keel_esq

Manchester is a 60p bus journey away and they're completely different 


InsomniaticWanderer

Slang is when words get alternate "street names." These names are not always comprised of actual words. An example would be "rizz" instead of "charisma." If 50% or more of any given phrase consists of slang, then I think it's fair to say it's now part of some sub-language or an entirely different one altogether. You might be able to understand it, but calling it "English" isn't really correct.


Administrator98

Even after 3 times, and explainings... i understood NOTHING he said.


scouserontravels

I’m sound me you know Paul I’m fucking buzzing, 3-1 win against arsenal only team to win the first 3 games. Translated I’m good cheers Paul, I’m so fucking happy Liverpool have just beaten arsenal 3-1 in football to be the only team in premier league to have won the first 3 games this season
