A Liverpool-specific name for Mischief Night — the evening before a major holiday (in the UK usually the night before Guy Fawkes / Bonfire Night, i.e. November 4th) when kids traditionally go out and cause low-level chaos: knocking on doors, throwing eggs, tying gates, and generally testing the patience of the neighborhood. 'Mizzy' is a contraction of 'mischief' in Scouse dialect, making this a distinctly local piece of vocabulary within an already regional tradition.
