Sure most of them are only on this "profession" for Partdridge style bants. That or they are just soulless personality vacuumes.

Broomhill Ultra Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Folk that describe things as ‘holocausts’ or ‘abortions’. Think they are the opposite of morons as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of a football game now I’d say about 75% of people go to do this so when I put my hand out for a normal handshake it often awkwardly ends up with me grabbing their hand in that position. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highland Capital Posted April 20, 2019 Author Share Posted April 20, 2019 People who put on Scots and their Scottishness. This is particularly the case for people who go on protests with signs saying stuff like 'Trump Haud Yer Wheast' and all that nonsense. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eez-eh Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Is Scots actually a “language” or is it just English spoken with Scottish slang? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiegoDiego Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Is Scots actually a “language” or is it just English spoken with Scottish slang?Whether Scots is a dialect of English or vice versa is largely a matter of politicking. The closest we have to official English is received pronunciation (which has you pronouncing year, car and farmer with silent 'r's) and Cambridge English."One oughtn't to do that.""Ye shouldnae dae that."To me these are both dialects but we are taught that one is correct and one is incorrect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See also: folk from the Highlands who type in "central belt" (for want of a better description) accents - nobody in the Highlands says "naw" or "maw" of pronounces "I" as "ah". It's all about the #hashtagnumbers. Even worse is when they start speaking like it and throwing in "ken" and "but" at the end of sentences. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the last year or so I've heard a few Invernesians refer to kids as 'weans'. That's not really a word we use here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
