Let’s have a shufti .... let me have a look. An expression used in Liverpool, shufti being the word for ‘look’ in Arabic, presumably used becaused of all the foreign sailors coming to the city.

At School, my English Teacher was an Tail End Charlie in WW2 and brought some of his RAF Messroom talk into the classroom. The one I remember best was "Shufti Bint" (Good Looking Girl)


If I ever asked what was for dinner, My Mum would often reply "run round the table". I have absolutely no idea what that was meant to mean. quick search on line makes me no wiser. (Best hit - https://www.phrases.org.uk/bulletin_board/45/messages/1128.html but no replys)

I remember most of them, the one about Bills mother is does I believe come from the Derbyshire Area. My mum once said about her brother in law when he died that he was a very nice man but as tight as a duck's ar$$$e, and even though he was dead the truth was still the truth.
