Scouse[1] (formally known as Liverpool English or Merseyside English) is an accent and dialect of English associated with Liverpool and the surrounding county of Merseyside. The Scouse accent is highly distinctive; having been influenced heavily by Irish, Norwegian, and Welsh immigrants who arrived via the Liverpool Docks, it has little in common with the accents of its neighbouring regions or the rest of England. The accent is named after lobscouse, a stew eaten by sailors and locals.

The name of the dialect is also occasionally taken as a designation of the people speaking it. In Series 13, Dan, and Yaz are frequently calling each other Scouse (Dan), and Yorkshire (Yaz) in friendly banter. On occasion, Dan even refers to himself as Scouse, or even "Official Scouse"[2].
