Scouser dictionary - For a confused spaniard

All right, I need to know some of the particularities of Scouser ENglish.

With time I noticed that

yer=you

your=you are.

luv=love.

tool=insult, not tool :D

I learnt very recently that "fĂșck all" doesn't mean everything, but just the opposite as well.

I write this post because there are words that don't appear in the fĂșcking dictionary.

what's

divvy, and crank?

Feel free to add more entries.  Otherwise face the risk to be absolutelly misunderstood :D

a divvy is an idiot, a divi is also a dividend were we divi up the proceeds,

i think in reality a divvy is the correct name for a pregnant fish

a crank is a fake, such as a crank call where you make a joke telephone call, or a crank can also be a strange person

it's not talking down. You can say it to your mates or to a bloke you don't know. It's friendly.

As peewee said can be shortened to la but you can also use lid.

I always thought it was the former. Plus it seems to be used often in footie language.

yes, you can urge a player to do well by going 'come on lad'

I like saying at the moment:

'come on bellamy lad'

or collectively you can call the team, lads, like 'come on lads'
