Scouser = Einwohner von Liverpool, Liverpooler
Scouse = Liverpooler Dialekt

If this is entered, also needed for consistency would be:

1. Brum/Brummie/Brummy - Einwohner Birminghams
2. Cockney - Einwohner Londons (and not as it currently is because I'm British and call ALL Londoners "cockneys" as slang, not just those from a particular area.)

There are probably many more.

Ahh, number 2's reply confused me. I see there is a 1 on the link. I agree this needs removing!

JUK, it's already in - as are Mancunian, Glaswegian and Geordie...

It shouldn't be Einwohner (resident) but someone who is from Liverpool. If a "Scouser" moves to Manchester, he's still a "Scouser"; many residents of London are not Cockneys.

Yes, good point, SP.

BTW, I don't agree that ALL Londoners are cockneys, even those who are originally from London (cf. #2). What about Sloanes, for example?

"cockney" is a slang term for all of London's inhabitants anywhere north of London/not within London from my experience. It's slang, it's not politically correct/factually correct or anything. It should be marked as such.

Scous‧er [countable]
British English
informal
someone from the city of Liverpool in England
Definition from the Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English Advanced Learner's Dictionary

Scouse noun (PERSON)
/skaʊs/ UK informal
[C] (also Scouser ) a person who comes from the Liverpool area, in north-west England
(Definition of Scouse noun (PERSON) from the Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary)

Should also be marked as informal. While you can say "Statistics show that many Londoners live in rented accommodation", "Statistics show that many Scousers live in rented accommodation" would sound a little odd to me.

sometimes i think scouse/r sounds better than Liverpudlian - i tend to make it a Liverpuddlian...

1 a native of East London,
traditionally one born within
hearing of Bow Bells.

[Chambers Dictionary & Thesaurus]

@Uk-er: kannst du deine Behauptung vielleicht belegen? Mit 'north of London' meinst du 'north of the Thames'? Seit wann ist der Begriff 'cockney' nicht PC? Würde sich ein 'Cockney' daran stoßen, als 'Cockney' bezeichnet zu werden?

No, it's not offensive - I mean it's the equivalent of calling all Orientals "Chinese" or whatever when that is clearly not the case - I know it's not factually correct to call everyone from London/with a vague London accent a cockney but it doesn't mean it's not done.

I'll have a look for some online sources but it's difficult as most of the sources I mentioned come from meeting people up and down the country....
