Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 People who use tabloid language in everyday conversation. This happens a lot, but I find especially around things like terrorism. A guy at my work the other day was talking about people being 'gunned down' in terror attacks. Who says that? Similar is when people say a place has been 'struck' or 'hit'. No, it's been attacked. We have a word for that which is not the preserve of Sun headline writers.Are you ‘sensationally blasting’ use of such language?

pozbaird Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 (edited) Why do so many younger Scottish blokes feel the need to use the word ‘mate’ every three seconds? Not sure it is a sign of moronic behaviour, but the conversations I hear certainly make the participants appear thick as fcuk.... I swear a conversation I overheard today went like this... ‘Aw’right mate, how’s it gaun’ mate? Aye mate, just been to the gym mate, fcuking knackered mate...’ ad infinitum... It’s like a sweary Scottish bloke version of young American females with their ‘he was like, serious like, I was like ‘no way’ like, you know? I said to him like...’ Another thing. These days, why do so many people need to start a sentence with the word ‘so’? Maybe it’s just me? Please tell me I’m not alone in noticing these three things - the ‘mate’, ‘like’, and ‘so’ bollocks.

HeWhoWalksBehindTheRows Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Sounds like he was speaking to the Graffiti artist Mate that their talking about on PTTGOYN thread. Like and So are probably part of his "crew". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've also heard that in the darker, less civilised parts of Scotland they end sentences with 'but' 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer 'mate' over Scots saying 'man' like they're from fucking Orange County or some place. 'Yeah cheers man', 'Yeah its cool man' in some posh generic Scottish accent. But your point still stands with mate too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highland Capital Posted June 6, 2019 Author Share Posted June 6, 2019 I never said 'mate' or 'bud' or 'man' or anything. I don't really like being called mate by people who aren't friends actually. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
