Hide AdWe've been on the streets of Liverpool to ask what your favourite word or phrase is, even the ones now deemed antwacky.
‘There’s a load like but probably Lad’
John said: "There's a load like, but probably ‘lad’. Because you just call everyone lad. I've grown up saying it."
‘I say sound a lot’
Sarah said: "I say sound a lot. I think as soon as you say sound, people know you're from Liverpool. Or, boss."
‘Hello la!’
Mal said: "When I was younger, it was always 'Hello la', but now it's 'lad'."
