'Fashed' Do you know what it means?

[BlueBloodedBlue]

And if so, whereabouts in the country are you from?

DH (from SE)has never heard of it but my Mum (from the NE) used it all the time.

Bothered. As in I cannae be fashed with your nonsense.

West of Scotland.

Yip, east central Scotland here, I'd not even notice if someone used it in conversation.

South Oxfordshire - I've no idea what it means

Yes, East Yorkshire.

Newcastle and no idea

as in a synonym for worried/upset?

NW England. Never heard it. DH from NE. I’ll ask him.

fash is a pretty standard Scots word.

quite a lot of pretty standard Scot’s words find their way into NE English dialect. For fairly obvious reasons.

Arsed. "Cannae be fashed wi' that"

I came across it this week actually. I am 48 and from the South West and had never heard it before. I am currently reading Dracula and it’s in there during a conversation with someone from Whitby. I had no idea what it meant, even in context so was very glad for the footnotes!

I'm in wales though, so no idea where I know it from

Can't be arsed with that / can't be fashed with that.
Definitely a Scottish thing

Cannae be fashed
I always though meant can't be fucked

you can also just fash. Or be told not to do so.

‘Dinna fash!’

Dinna fash yersel min.

Not a clue. West Yorkshire.

Dinna fash
Something along the lines of stop your mithering

That's how we use It.

I'm down Souff now so see it as my one woman mission to educate those around me 😂

I’ve heard ‘dinnae fash, sassenach’ from Jamie in outlander 😍 so I assumed it meant don’t worry!

I'm not Scottish but been around a lot of people who are and find Scots easy to understand.

Yes, from NE England.

Dinnae fash yersel. Don't bother about it/ don't worry yourself. Mind you I don't know if my teens would use it but I'm sure they would understand it just fine.

NW never heard it before.

Living in the South of England people look at me odd even I use flashed. I'm from South of Edinbirgh, DH from the Highlands.

My children and Grandchildren who were born and brought up here use it though.

Yup.I’m from London but had Scottish grandparents.
