beaut
An idiot — ironic flip of 'beauty'.
Definitions
An idiot or fool. In Scouse the word is flipped — calling someone a beaut means they're absolutely not one. Pure sarcasm baked into a single syllable. Can be matey banter or a genuine dig depending on delivery.
A genuine beauty — something or someone gorgeous. Standard English sense, still used straight in Liverpool too. Context (and tone) tells you which one you're getting.
