They are all Liverpool sayings.
Both my bosses at work are from Liverpool and they call ice lollies lolly ice.
What about "boss" for when something's really good.
Yeah we do say Boss a lot, we also put the word like in most sentences whether its needed or not.

In Nova Scotia people might ask you "You from here or away?" From here means living in Nova Scotia, while from away means living outside of it. A person born in NS but now living elsewhere but currently visiting is described as being "from away".
Another one is "What's your father's name?" I usually answer by telling people the name of my father *and* mother, thank you very much.
