salmonbuddie Posted December 8, 2018 Report Share Posted December 8, 2018 The difference between any two human beings is not and should not be defined by the words they use but the attitudes, ethics and values they possess.Unless they use "pish" and "jobbie" in which case they're defined by the words they use as "working class" of course...The word "pish" is not for me I must admit and I cringe at words like "Jobbie". My response would be "We get it. You are working class and want everyone to know you don't have ideas above your station." It's all a bit "The lady doth protest too much" for my liking. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HSS Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 Dont know if it's been mentioned already but why has every 2nd person started putting the word SO at the start of a sentence? If you do it could you please explain why. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glaswegians pronounce the following sentence as any BBC newsreader might. "Seven sore seats at a party". Whereas... me and my Buddies pronounced it, "Seevin sair sates et a pairty". And as for "so" at the start of a sentence.... It's er…. like.... well... the old reason - to give the user time to think what they're gaunie say. Or, if you listen to politicos using it in an interview, it's to ignore the question being put to them, then to continue their previous line of answering or to veer in a different direction from that intended by the interviewer. Good interviewers understand that, see it as weakness now and it's good to see them keep pressing with the same question, which often then does get an answer, as it can't be avoided.

St.Ricky Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 Sevco .. It's old hat. We know the old club died but we know that the SFA etc have ruled otherwise. The Ibrox club covers it for me. Time to move on. Just my opinion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
