Dang! I knew there was something I was supposed to do earlier this morning ...

I'll vote anyhow, though. #6 is related to the fake I was going to send in, though I was going to say it's the filmmaker, so it gets one of my votes. And #11, because why not.

I don’t know what [Scouse] etymology is, so I’ll award whoever applied some regional dialect somewhere to a believable def.  And I like rational dresses.  2 and 5 please.

 

I didn’t read any further in the list than that, probably missing the real one.

 

[Paul Keating]

Scouse means the English of Liverpool, so called because the inhabitants are held to eat Iobscouse, a kind of sailors' stew. Both words are of course derogatory.

[Tony Abell]

I'll try 3 and 6:

> 3. [Scot.] a punch in the face.

[Tim Lodge]

I'll go for two of the Scots: 8 and 11.

           8.  [Scot.] snug; comfortable; well-off.

          11.  [Scottish and English regional (north-eastern)] 1. n. a look; a peep. 2. v. transitive. to see (a person or thing); to look at, observe.Also intransitive: to look, peep.

[Shani Naylor]

My father was from Liverpool, so I'll vote for #2, along with the popular #6.

2.  [Scouse] a beggar; a vagrant.

 

6.  style of filmmaking in which most scenes are shot from the

perspective of the main character, and the audience sees only what

the character sees.

One can learn a lot from these definitions. Last time I learned about spitting cucumbers, and once this round is over, I plan to look up the rational dress movement (who knew?).

 

On the assumption that in ‘spart’ is a typo for ‘sprat’, I’ll vote for #1 and #8.
