Joey Jo Jo Junior Shabadoo Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 A second person plural is perfectly acceptable in most languages and also a useful facet of any vernacular. The fact that ‘English’ has successfully removed this from our language is another reason to vote for Independence next time round, IMO. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OP Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 35 minutes ago, ThatBoyRonaldo said: This conversation reminds me of the poster on here who hit out with 'dillion' as an example of a Scots word. Several pages of trying to work out wtf they meant later I realised they were saying 'dull yin' - as in what you might say if someone hit their head off something. Baffling. Mispelling and confusion is more common with Scots and slang words because they’re not often written down except by dafties on social media. Part of the blame for this is the types on this thread who cringe and tell their children off for using useful and innocuous words like “yous”. This leads to mass confusion over whether (for example) it’s weans, weins or wains (it’s weans). However, I’m not sure it’d ever be a struggle to work out dillion or dullion was “dull yin” as that is exactly how it is pronounced. See me after class. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh though if you get Pixar with Disney+ that's not bad - they're generally far better than Marvel and recent Star Wars. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the day in my first ever job my very posh boss often used to use the phrase “high heid yin”, as upper class posh Scots are want to do to display their couthy North Britishness. I ended up having to go on a work trip to Sutherland to a big landed estate and at dinner had to explain to a bunch of equally posh London City types that it literally meant “high head one”. I’m not sure my erstwhile boss actually realised this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
