Liverpool certainly has some 'interesting' areas. I, unfortunately, have many gun stories but fortunately only one that I was in some way involved with. Loved/hated my time there but now to my surprise sometimes miss living there.
Well that's strange. I've heard it said loads to both men and woman and as far as I recollect, every time was said as a joke. Both sexes have said it. I lived there 14 years, perhaps I was with less classy scousers!
Moyes may have been foolish but he's lived a long time in Liverpool. Getting 'a slap' is a very common term that's mostly said light heartedly and as a joke and is used for both sexes.
