Yes we have lots of labels:
Oldham 'ruffyheads'
Luton 'hatters'
London 'Cockneys'
Paisley 'Buddys'
East Anglian 'fennys'
Liverpool 'scousers' or 'Mickey Mousers', if lowlife 'scallys'
London 'Cockneys'
London even has it's own unique slang; rhyming slang. Like the 'Mickey Mouser' one for scousers. Where something is referred to by a rhyming phrase.
So 'dog and bone' for 'phone', 'whistle and flute' for 'suit'. Sometimes one word gets lost and sometimes it's the rhyming one. So 'Barnet' for 'hair' from originally 'Barnet Fair'.

that's off the cuff, without looking any up. Don't you have labels too?



>Thank you all very much. This opens up a whole new world (probably >another thread?) Might one infer there are labels for folks from >other major cities?
