Default How to explain to an american

Hi peeps,

Quite funny this one, I need to explain to an american friend of mine what scouse is/scoucers are, in a non derogatory <sp> way.

Any ideas.

Let the **** taking commence

BTW this is actually a serious request.

a work colleague is a scouser, with the whinest accent you will ever hear and he went on holiday to Las vegas. Whlst there he was overheard by two americans and the following conversation ensued.
septics - Excuse me, do you come from Ingerland?
Scouser - Yes I do love.
Septics - I thought so! HEY HERB! I WAS RIGHT! I knew you were English honey.
Scouser - Whys that then?
Septics - Cos you sound so sophistocated!

only in america,
astraboy.
