14. ... And We Abbreviate Everything
Scal = Scally = Scallywag; La = Lad; Ma = Mother; Tockie = Toxteth; Crockie = Croxteth, etc.Scousers love to abbreviate things. I genuinely once heard one shorten the acronym KFC to KF without skipping a beat. Well even abbreviate a word to another word thats basically the same length as the first word so instead of trainers, you get trainees; instead of boxers, you get boxies. But keep up, the lingo is getting shorter with every generation. For example, did you know that the word trainees was recently shortened to "Trabs"?
