The Wirral

A non existant area of land within Merseyside home to ex Liverpool suburbs such as Tranmere and Prenton. With Wales also a mere 10 miles away there is a high cultural draw from both the likes of Liverpool and North Wales which has produced activities such as Welsh Folk Dancing in a shell-suit and sheep-hurling.

The Wirral Peninsular 

Situated across the River Mersey from Liverpool.

Typical inhabitants vary from mindless chavs, found in the likes of Birkenhead and Woodchurch, to the upper eschelons of society and pillars of the community such as Judges found in Caldy and Heswall.

The Wirral Peninsular is also where Liverpudlians flee to once they have made their fortune.

There is an animosity between proper Scousers and Plastic Scousers (Wirralians) as both feel they are superior to the other. Liverpudlians think that all residents of the Wirral are frustrated Scousers and simply aren't wonderful to be from Liverpool. Wirralians look down their noses at Liverpudlians because they don't usually require a translator to be understood outside of Merseyside and because the Wirral is a much nicer place to live notwithstanding scum pockets.
The Wirral Peninsular is the Beverley Hills of Merseyside.

The Wirral's Scouse Problem 

The Wirral is a peninsular situated in the county of Merseyside, England.

People from the Wirral are labelled as Jedis, Wools, or Plazzy Scousers, by those who live in Liverpool. This is mainly down to a heavily inspired Scouse culture on the west side on the peninsular, Though some settlements milk it more than others.

It's major settlements from most to least "Scouse Influenced" are:

-Birkenhead.

Once Labelled as a "Model Town", Birkenhead is now known as a town that shouldn't exist. It is dirty, depressing, and down right ugly. A post industrial disaster. The people here like to think themselves as Scouse, yet do not share the community that Liverpool possesses. Birkenheaders are nasty little scumbags, who need to be sent on a boat to across the Mersey straight to the town of St Helen's where they belong.

-Woodchurch.
Town of Smackheads. The only redemption here is if they overdose off their smack then there's less of them about causing mayhem. They have an Asda and Weird terraced streets that look slightly American.

-Seacombe.
Just like Birkenhead, except you have a higher percentage of your socks being robbed off your washing line.

(Rock Ferry and Wallasey have a plazzy Scouse problem too)

Anywhere else on the Wirral is fine and represent much of it's former and ceremonial county, Cheshire. I hope this post has helped you to understand which places to avoid when entering this ancient peninsular.
The Wirral's Scouse Problem, defined as:
Birkenheader: "Yes lad, am a true Scouser from Birkenhead."
Liverpudlian: "Asif lad, ye a little Jedi."
Wirralian: "Sorry about him mate, he gives us normal Wirral folk a bad name."
Scouser: "Shut up Ye Wool."
A small piece of information. Derived from the word ken, used often in the scottish language and is synonymous with knowledge.
Person 1: "Hey I don't get this shit. How do you solve this problem?"
Person 2: "I got that one. Give me some kenlets on this assignment and I'll help you w/ that one."

I mean I guess bro

a word of expression to when you give up on comprehending someone's words of ignorance, stupidity, absurdity or are too exhausted to formulate a proper response.

Commonly seen in TikTok comment sections in replies to lazy attempts at humor, overconfidentally incorrect statement, or an over-the-top comment or when someone completely misses the mark on something.
"actually... incorrect statement, hope this helps!"

abandonware 

n. software that is no longer sold or supported by the original publisher / developer, often found as free downloads on the internet because it cannot be obtained elsewhere. Not legal, but often seen as morally acceptable because the company that made it is no longer selling the title, nor releasing it as freeware, therefore abandonware is "keeping the game alive", so to speak.
Doom II is not abandonware because id still sells it, while The Incredible Machine is not sold, therefore is abandonware.

Foot prisons 

Socks. Annoying, sweat-causing, non-barefoot enducing, everyday socks.
The first thing I do when I take off my shoes, is rip off the foot prisons I had to wear inside them. That's why I prefer flip flops, even in winter!
