I think its because having all those liners the residents were drunk all the time and used to say
I mushn't do this
I mushn't do that

I doubt whether anyone in Southampton could answer that question. Just to add to the fun,"What's on then mush? Hows the Nipper?" You've got to be a Spike Islander to appreciate that one.

Apparently:

Mush: Word used by folk on the end of sentances, usually in greeting or acknowledging the presence of someone.

Mush: Is an old Romany word, meaning "my good friend".

"All right, mush?" Has become old-fashioned. 'Mate' has taken its place.


OR: The act of placing one's hand on another person's face and pushing the person backwards.

OR: Townie slang for one's friend, or associate.


"Alright, mush?"


OTHERS:

A Person Who Brings Bad Luck:

Don't Let Jay Pick A Horse He's A Mush.


It is also another word for a camels vagina...apparently...

"Alright mush?"

"Hello Dave, how are ya mush?"


Southampton: Us Southampton Mushes know how to shut that Pompey lot up:


MUSH: A Yankee townie. A Boston-area/New England version of a redneck.

Can be used by mushes as a term of endearment, like "bro." Also known as a "divya," which is an expression used by mushes to mean "awesome." "Divya, mush!" means "Awesome, dude!"
Matt Damon's character in "Good Will Hunting" is a mush.

"What's up, mush?"

"Nuthin' much, Ralphie. Just drinkin' these Millahs."

"Divya, mush!"

Good job we've got a sense of humour. Better a Southampton scum than a Pompey skate.
At least scum rises to the top.Look where Southampton's Footy team is then look where Pompey is.

Well there we have it then, I knew the girls in Southampton reminded me of something (I'd read about!)

[Charlie Hannah]

Probable because they were known Mush Divers.OOPPS

Good morning Mr. Hawken.
Having ben born in Pompey, I've heard us described as 'Pompey bar-stewards, Pompey gits' and several other names, but 'skate' is a new one on me, is this a complimentary term? Perhaps I've been absent for too long. And as for Fratton Park, I'm not surprised considering the comings and goings of managers and financiers. Better to be a .Pompeyite, or even a Gosport Turk' rather than a Southampton Cunard Yank!!
Now go and stand in the corner for 2 fortnights and go without your tea.
