What it means
Scouse for fake, counterfeit, or not genuine. If something is jarg, it is a knockoff or a fraud. Jarg trainers, jarg designer bags, jarg excuses for being late. Also used for people who are being fake or two-faced. Calling someone jarg in Liverpool is a proper insult because authenticity is currency there and being fake is the worst offence.
Usage examples
"He showed up wearing jarg Nikes that said Nkie on the side. Thought nobody would notice but the whole pub clocked it before he even sat down, la."
"Those trainers are jarg, the logo's already peeling after one wash."
"He gave me some jarg excuse about traffic, but the lad just slept in."
