A "Scouser" is a person from Liverpool; which is to say, a Liverpudlian. According to MW3, the name is due to "lobscouse" (a meat and vegetable stew) being popular in Liverpool.

    And allow me to recommend the excellent The Beatles, A Biography by Bob Spitz, which is both carefully researched (with full citations) and highly evocative. A must for all Beatles fans, and gives a great sense of life in Liverpool as well.
