*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.

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.

RE: [Dixonary] Round 3179 vote for POVIE
 
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.
