A good Scots tongue...
zilspeed - 17/9/10 at 05:20 PM

So.

Which of our brethren from south of the border can hear what this fine chap is actually saying ?

He speaks finest machine gun delivery nedspeak, so the delivery may tax some of the less experienced weegieologists among you.

Nevertheless, have a go. I feel sure that you will learn some of the finer points of the Glesgy patois by studying the works of this great orator.

If you feel capable, you might wish to provide a translation.

Anyway, come ahead.

Someone ruined the game of football for them, but should be good this time.

Personally, I couldn't give a toss about the game.
It was the little special word he managed to squeeze in practically unnoticed.

I dont think it was deliberate, nor was the editor deliberate in its inclusion!! I didnt spot it first time round.

He's Scottish - ergo I don't care what he's got to say....

Did he just say 'every C#*t' ? If so priceless!


Fozzie - 17/9/10 at 06:26 PM

It was the minority that spoiled it for us last time. This time its going to be a good game of football where every *tinker* is going to go for it ....

Or words * to that effect ...

I bet you wouldn't say that to his face (or forehead, as it would rapidly become )

You reckon ?

Up here the 'C' word is used almost like a form of punctuation.

there was similar language today when a fellow scot to the gentleman in the clip had his desk covered in England flags, ballons, air fresheners and mugs.

In this case, immediately preceded by the words, "Ya shower a useless" before the word in question, I should imagine.

I had a saltire hanging in my office in Sarajevo. My language assistant who shared the room with me (a young Serb chap) took great amusement in hanging a St George's Cross next to it.

Next time I was downtown I went and bought a Turkish flag and fired that up on the wall on my return. I'll never forget the look on his face... priceless!

Without a word being spoken, he took down the St Georges Cross and I took down the Turkish flag... neither was ever seen again!

Zikes ...good point!

And there's me, been blaming them 'thar garage pixies' for hiding me tools/making a mess....for years!

It's been those peskie flags all of the time ...

You know, saying "hoose" like that could be seen as racialist, and not at all the way your country should be seen by the outside world.

May "Scots Wa Hae" be played by a piper band for a week in your house. Or if you can't find one nearby, a good recording of it by the "Real McKenzies".

How can hoose ....(phonetic spelling) dialect for HOUSE be in any way 'racialist' or in 'proper' English, racist ? .........

FWIW I have just been speaking to my cousin who just happens to live in Canada (emigrated 45 years ago), and asked him what
you have said as to 'hoose' being a racist remark............like me, he did not have a clue either ....


scootz - 18/9/10 at 03:40 PM

Tut Tut Fozzie... you're clearly not up to date with all that's current in the Diversity-World!

A Racist Incident is defined as:

"...any incident which is perceived to be racist by the victim or any other person."

Therefore, if you use the word 'hoose' and RK perceives it to be racist, then IT IS racist!

Naughty naughty Fozzie...

No No no Scootzie .... a house(hoose) is an object, it, in itself, cannot think or feel, and as such has no opinion, and as such, is therefore without prejudice.

So therefore, a third party cannot be seen to take the assumption as to, or, as to not, in the afore mentioned context, be presumed that the case is as such.

In such case, the presumption of assumption, is thus null and void ....

Then you know it's a minute for each year old you are, therefore 20 minutes would be a compliment

TBH I have never seen the programme ... only trailers for the show....
When I was raising my brood I never had the need. Just a good set of boundaries where the 'goal posts' were defined .... and adjusted as they grew .... seemed to work for us ....

Anyway ... I did my 'time' on the naughty-step, and sent a flower in acknowledgement of the punishment being over....
I will accept that I was very fortunate to get away with only 20 minutes, if, as you say 1 minute per year .... with another flower!


scootz - 18/9/10 at 08:26 PM

Hmmm... rules are rules Fozzie - think you have to go back to the naughty step for another 60 seconds!

Only just read this but if I ever get nicked, I want Fozzie as my brief!
Oh and if you think that was a broad Glaswegian Scots accent, you have never heard one.
