Shafty, Spide, Frankie, Mucker

Millbegs and Spides.

Which reminds me of the recent chant at the student protests in Belfast.....

"Nick Clegg,......ballbeg"

Personal preference is for wah-wah or McCooey. Spides and millies are a sub-genre of the McCooey.

Been called many nicknames by culchies/sheep-shaggers . the main ones are Frankies McCooey's and chip eaters.

Frankies, Smicks and Shafties.
Wouldn't say 'spide' is specific to Belfast, spides can be from anywhere.

Can't disagree with that. I always found Belfast people sound. Very friendly as are the Liverpool people.
