I worked with 'em for nearly twenty years.

It's like another language.

Quite clever really.

They could talk in front of those born outside the sound of Bow bells, and they'd not have any idea what they were on about.

I took a short course at the J. Arthur Rank College of Rhyming Slang, so I didn't miss out.

:D

Presumably because you might have to stick your neck out to see, like a goose.
In the same vain Wind your neck in, which meant (in scouse) calm down calm down:D

Well.........I wouldn't say that, but you can!
Yes, an imbuggerance won't kill you...but it can make you feel like killing someone else.

I don't know where the word came from.......maybe my dad made it up...it was something he used to say. I have never heard anyone else use it...only me(and members of the family).
