That gubbins language can't even distinguish the second person plural nor such a basic concept. I know 'yous' and 'yese' are very Scottish words I use very regularly when talking, just seeing them written down (a fair bit on here), makes the writer come across as a bit thick. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBo10 Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Jobby is another word I grew up with and just thought everyone used. Apparently is predominantly a west of Scotland word. It caused much consternation at my nephew’s school (in Melbourne) when he was asking the teacher if he could go to the loo cos he needed a jobby. Eventually just bolts to the loo. My brother is then in talking to the teacher after school having to explain the term jobby to a teacher. His mother was mortified, my brother couldn’t stop laughing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
