Was delighted when the wife's family referred to "taking the dog out for a pish", and they likewise when I explained that we also use it to say something's rubbish, or that somebody under the influence is "pished". Then I went too far by explaining some of our other words, but least said, soonest mended. 5 hours ago, bernardblack said: The woman in the Voxi advert for unlimited social media ^^^ thiiiiiiiiiis. I take it they're just trying to build awareness of their name and don't care if it's only because folk detest them for those adverts. I see they've recently re-edited the "I am endless" advert to make her seem less of an utterly self-absorbed & terrifying thundercunt, but they still haven't been entirely successful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 When John McEnroe was new to commentating on the tennis on BBC he described a female player as needing “a kick up the fanny”. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiegoDiego Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 How "woman" has become an adjective replacing "female". Recent example: "America's Women Billionaires". Edit: good to see Mr Par has stayed true to orthodoxy in his above post. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must admit, I've gradually come round to the idea of Scots actually being a distinct language as opposed to a dialect; there are probably enough differences in vocabulary and syntax from English...I think what always put me off thinking of it as such previously was that bizarre Lallans thing that stitched together bits and pieces from different areas of the country and periods of time, producing something no-one ever had actually spoken that called itself Scots. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
