Reidy1987 Posted April 25, 2003 Report Share Posted April 25, 2003 ginger (referring to juice) Actually, this will also thoroughly confuse anybody from Greenock where they refer to ginger as liminaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaade. Which reminds me of a conversation I had in a Greenock shop once. Me: "Bottle of lemonade, please" "Burd" behind the counter: "Whit kiiiiind a liminaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaade?" Me: "Just lemonade please" BBTC: "Ah heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeard ye the fuuuuuuuuuuuuurst tiiiiiiiiiime. Whit kiiiiiiind a liminaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaade?" Me: "All I want is a bottle of lemonade." BBTC: "Aye bit whit kiiiiiiiiiiiiind? Rid cola, dark cola, oarange, limeade?" Me (finally getting the picture): "Oh right, I'll have a bottle of lemonade lemonade" BBTC: "Is that clear liminaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaade ye waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaant?" At which point I lost the will to live and left the shop empty handed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radford 72 Posted April 25, 2003 Report Share Posted April 25, 2003 There is a quality bit in "Not The End Of The World" where a guy from Motherwell talks to an American woman about "thon eejit". She then asks who Johnny Jit is Situation once where a Scottish guy said to some English dude, "It's me, do you no ken???"... English guy replies, "No, where does he work???"

ST SID Posted April 26, 2003 Report Share Posted April 26, 2003 BBTC: "Is that clear liminaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaade ye waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaant?" Gutting it with that one - "gutting it" surely another unique Scottish colloquialism f'k'd oot yer "tottie" "tottie" for a burd too. ham shank boaby tollie radge s***e ratbag hingoot blackwhore ( easy way to start a fight in Galloway ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
