I was born in Liverpool left when I was 12 I'm so glad I don't live there it's just one big shit hole. The real scousers have died off. now it's just full of scally's.
Why would anyone need to ask if someone is from Liverpool and why would someone who is need to say so? Pretty sure the accent is a dead giveaway and will more than likely lead to the question being asked first. Sounds like gramps has a chip on his shoulder. Scouser probably banged his ex back in the day.
the origins of jock goes back hundreds of years but was cemented into the British psychy during the first world war when soldiers used the terms Tommy=English Taff or Taffy=Wales jock=Scotland or paddy=Irish it's a term of affection which reflects regionalism not racism indeed it's army origins still run deep with the black watch proudly using the term the jocks.
Not just the Black Watch. Every Scottish Regiment. The Scottish Infantry Regiments used to train all together and separate from the other British Regiments. Only once you had successfully passed your final parade in basic training would the instructors refer to you as "Jock" . As you were now a soldier rather than just a recruit. Well that was my experience anyway...

Excellent my friend. Although the US and GB humour can be quite different a lot of Brits feel a kinship with the USA and it's good to see you enjoying one of Britain's finest comedians.
I still laugh at the meme that was doing the rounds on the run up to Indyref. It was a map of Britain with Scotland broken off and drifting away with North of England holding a sign up that read "TAKE US WITH YOU!" 😂
I'm a Scouser, (scouse is a lamb and potato stew popular in Liverpool). Scots and Scousers share much common heritage: very different but very strong and instantly recognizable accents, an industrial working class heritage, connections to both Eire (Catholic Irish) and Ulster (Protestant/Orange Order), which date back nearly 500 years.

Jock used to be a stereotypical scottish name. Like tommy for the english, taff (actually the name of a welsh river) for the welsh and mick for the irish. Us brits are all about lazy stereotypes☺
Hey Josh. That guy is hilarious. Just wondering, is Taylor okay? I did hear you mention she wasn't feeling well a while back, but haven't heard an update. I may have missed it.
No, if you knew Liverpool then you know why we want Scotland to take them. After the deal was put on the table Scotland voted to stay. Tells you everything you need to know.
The lady in the audience is from Glasgow ("Glazgoe") Scotland, not Belfast N.Ireland, renowned for being a rough town, kind of like Chicago I would imagine.
Jock is a Scottish diminutive form of the forename "John"; it corresponds to Jack in England and Wales. Because it was so singular and unique, it became a collective term for all Scots.
we call them "jocks" because jock is a common name in scotland, or at least it was. we also call the irish paddy, or mick and the welsh "taff" or "taffy" the jocks are also called "sweaty socks" in rhyming slang
jocks == knick name tht came from the army. Soldiers of a Scottish regiment in the British Army are known as “Jocks”, and the Jocks are intensely proud to refer to themselves as such.

The comment about Liverpool is basically because Liverpool is like its own little Republic. We were left behind by previous conservative governments, mainly the Thatcher government and we had to depend on ourselves for survival. We're seen by many as not really a part of England and to be honest we don't feel as if we are on the whole. Hope that helps.
lot of uk peeps hate on Liverpool (probably mainly to do with the following things...most of it comes from the south east which has many Tory voters (uk republicans basically) and Liverpool has always been Labour voters classically (democrats uk style- ish...they are actually quite different but its the closest match) , also there is a big Welsh and Irish population there and the UK is basically (in the past anyway) england which were mainly Saxon (and later Norman, French) and Wales, Scotland and in the past Ireland who are all Celts Irony is , most peeps in the UK have some Saxon and Celtic blood, even more Ironic the Saxons and Celts got on a lot better than many think, most of the time, it was the Normans and French aristocracy that turned them against each other when they ruled England way back. In fact our "upper class" accent ( the accent that north americans associate with UK) is actually an evolution of French and German aristocrats speaking English. You can hear this when French and Germans speak English, they struggle with some inflections, but the bits they get spot on are the bits that just happen to be present in the upper class or "Posh" English accent. FTR the queen is actually German by descent (House of Saxe Coburg - Gotha, they changed their name to Windsor in WW1 so uk peeps would forget they were German , seeing as they were the enemy) This is why many long English words are the same or similar to French, and also why Frigg, Cunt, Shit and Fuck are swear words (Saxon and or Celtic words). The ruling aristocrats saw the common folks language as vulgar and beneath them, so these words became frowned upon, and in true stokholm syndrome style the common man adopted the practice. In summary the tensions go back to countless wars and but are more a hangover of the past than a true genetic division (some of this stems back to Roman tiimes too as they had a similar outlook on the UK and its people)
Two fun facts about Al Murray. 1 he attained a degree from Oxford University. 2 He is technically a minor royal being "in remainder" to both Scottish and English peerage titles.
Jock is a Scottish diminutive form of the forename "John"; it corresponds to Jack in England and Wales. It is also a nickname for someone of Scottish origin. It is also the collective names of or Scottish soldiers
"Got to take Liverpool with you" regards the football rivalry with Manchester. I think Al Murray is revealing he is from Manchester, and if he could get rid of Liverpool then "his England" could win more football games.
It's actually London rhyming slang "sweaty socks" "jocks" and the other word for them is "sweaties". It's the same with "limey's" it's like we use the word "yanks" it's short for "septic tanks" how we in London describe Americans.
Love you and your partner's sense of humour, especially your loud laugh. Irish comedy is great too, similar to British but probably harder to understand in some cases, unless you understand Irish, British and European stereotypes. A good way to learn about them though, we love to help others understand it. Thank you for your posts, your reactions make me laugh harder at comedy I haven't seen in a while. I don't get some regional American comedy, so well done for persevering with British and Irish (Graham Norton and others) comedy. One of the most important character traits in Ireland, is to have a great sense of humour, to be able to laugh at oneself and make others laugh, usually with self deprecating tales.

I wish the SNP would say sod it and run for constituencies in the north of England so we can can scream that if they go independent we are going with them
Independents mean on your own ,not the eu ,also you could not take the pound with you,also you are in debt with England so in other words the eu would have to buy you off England ,and so if England says no and you had a referendum ,means exactly that .Scotland does not have enough to pay us back ,you are in limbo.

Irony is , most peeps in the UK have some Saxon and Celtic blood, even more Ironic the Saxons and Celts got on a lot better than many think, most of the time, it was the Normans and French aristocracy that turned them against each other when they ruled England way back.
In fact our "upper class" accent ( the accent that north americans associate with UK) is actually an evolution of French and German aristocrats speaking English. You can hear this when French and Germans speak English, they struggle with some inflections, but the bits they get spot on are the bits that just happen to be present in the upper class or "Posh" English accent. FTR the queen is actually German by descent (House of Saxe Coburg - Gotha, they changed their name to Windsor in WW1 so uk peeps would forget they were German , seeing as they were the enemy)
This is why many long English words are the same or similar to French, and also why Frigg, Cunt, Shit and Fuck are swear words (Saxon and or Celtic words). The ruling aristocrats saw the common folks language as vulgar and beneath them, so these words became frowned upon, and in true stokholm syndrome style the common man adopted the practice.
In summary the tensions go back to countless wars and but are more a hangover of the past than a true genetic division (some of this stems back to Roman tiimes too as they had a similar outlook on the UK and its people)
In Liverpool loosing your hubcaps is legendary.
Give Vic and Bob a try mate, you'll either love it or hate it.
Two fun facts about Al Murray. 1 he attained a degree from Oxford University. 2 He is technically a minor royal being "in remainder" to both Scottish and English peerage titles.

Misfire sorry
She came from Glasgow - used to be a very very hard ship building city - where the ice cream vans also sold drugs and had a tail gunner.
Jock is a Scottish diminutive form of the forename "John"; it corresponds to Jack in England and Wales. It is also a nickname for someone of Scottish origin. It is also the collective names of or Scottish soldiers
One of the best comedians for a long time in the UK 😂

"Got to take Liverpool with you" regards the football rivalry with Manchester. I think Al Murray is revealing he is from Manchester, and if he could get rid of Liverpool then "his England" could win more football games.
It's actually London rhyming slang "sweaty socks" "jocks" and the other word for them is "sweaties". It's the same with "limey's" it's like we use the word "yanks" it's short for "septic tanks" how we in London describe Americans.
Jock is a nick name for John and its like calling the Welsh taff it became a nickname for the Scots
If you want to know how bad from the church in Ireland, look up the Magdalene Laundries.
If you like the pub landlord character, he was in his own sitcom back in the 90s called "time gentlemen please"
Love you and your partner's sense of humour, especially your loud laugh. Irish comedy is great too, similar to British but probably harder to understand in some cases, unless you understand Irish, British and European stereotypes. A good way to learn about them though, we love to help others understand it. Thank you for your posts, your reactions make me laugh harder at comedy I haven't seen in a while. I don't get some regional American comedy, so well done for persevering with British and Irish (Graham Norton and others) comedy. One of the most important character traits in Ireland, is to have a great sense of humour, to be able to laugh at oneself and make others laugh, usually with self deprecating tales.
Josh , love your T shirt, very groovy and arty. Stick at it old boy, this is a great show you have going, wishing you and all viewers fame fortune and happiness in 2021. Don’t forget to try playing cricket one day, that and tea will improve your life.
51st state is a great British film set it Liverpool
Pity he Isn't around still I'd like him to do why the Shetlands wants to leave Scotland.
I wish the SNP would say sod it and run for constituencies in the north of England so we can can scream that if they go independent we are going with them
Independents mean on your own ,not the eu ,also you could not take the pound with you,also you are in debt with England so in other words the eu would have to buy you off England ,and so if England says no and you had a referendum ,means exactly that .Scotland does not have enough to pay us back ,you are in limbo.

Scotland’s already got a Liverpool though. it’s called Glasgow

Liverpool wants Independence from the U.K., because we are a different tribe! Always have been, always will!
That and since Winston Churchill order the army to open fire on the protesters when he was home Secretary. Liverpool has been treated like shit by successive governments.
From wiki "Jock is a Scottish diminutive form of the forename "John"; it corresponds to Jack in England and Wales. It is also a nickname for someone of Scottish origin. It is also the collective names of or Scottish soldiers"
