Following on from the scallions thread . . . . .

[SrSteveOskowski]

Isn't the 'language' difference between Ireland and the UK amazing all the same? And I don't mean the literal language, ie: speaking Irish instead of Welsh, English etc.
More that although we're all speaking English, it can be so different.

For example (I'm Irish) would I confuse people in the UK if I started talking about buggies, minerals, rashers, taytos, the messages and the hot press to name but a few?

How many of you would know what all these things are, or would you just think "What on earth is she on about?"

Yes, I rely on google for my experience of Glaswegian speech. Google is obviously such a good source for the Glesga Pa^er. BTW, if you are a Scot @Kaboodler you'll be the first I've ever heard say 'tizzy'--though I won't deny I've not much experience with the more anglicized types that seem to proliferate these days.

I'm not a Scot and never claimed to be. I'm a Dub.

No the Scots never use the word tizzy

@Kaboodler So the source of your experience you're trying to make so much of, that emboldened you to make all those rude & arrogant posts above, is that you've lived in Glasgow for a bit! FFS thanks for wasting my time!

I lived in Glasgow for years, my strange little one as I made pretty clear. You really must take more time to read people's posts.

Oh and also, have you ever lived in Glasgow?

Could we get back to the topic at hand please? This thread is about Irish vernacular, we don't need the Brits butting in and taking everything over..again! (Lightheaded)(please don't start on me next)

No I got that you lived there for 'years', I don't need to reread anything. On the other hand, you haven't got that I'm ignoring that question. I'll put it in good Glaswegian so you'll understand, it's nane ae yer business, lassie. Some folk urnie bothered boot gie-in the internet personal hings, am ur.

So we'll take that as a no then rona

Bless. So you've never lived in Glasgow and went off to google 'proper working class Glaswegian' before responding.

You're a dote.

Rona, I'm going to assume, charitably, from your absolute deafness to tone that you are something of a dune le Dia, with a monomania about 'nationalists' and leave it at that.

How many UK Tory MPs feel sad about the plight of the poor? That's how much I care about how you take that @JaneJeffer!

Good.

From Irish vernacular to the Tory's ... well that's just weird!

@ronatheseal, what in the name of all that is holy have UK Tory MP's got to do with the title of this thread?

More to be pitied than laughed at.
That's an Irish expression too!

Ah but Tory is an Irish word too

@Ottessa FFS, yes dear, I don't like nationalistic thinking when it encourages ignorance and spreads hatred, but I do support Irish independence/unity and Scottish independence. Happy to clarify that.

@SrSteveOskowski Lol, Steve, there are pure wallopers, and there are people who think 'Hey world, come check out what I pure total walloper I am, it must be known!"' No idea what they have to do with this thread though.

No idea what you're doing on this thread rona, apart from a lot of shit stirring.
It was going so well and all.
What do ye reckon lads? Should we keep feeding?

I'm getting a bit bored of it by now, dunno about anyone else. The word gowl does come to mind though. Probably the greatest Irish-ism out there!

'No idea what you're doing on this thread rona'.

@SrSteveOskowski Gathered that. Hey, is there not something on the Cartoon Network or Movies 4 Men you should be watching at this time? It's nearly 5PM, they'll be giving you your supper soon.

Supper eh?

This was such a fun thread - I can never really understand why people come on such threads to deliberately ruin or derail them with getting into bunfights.

Great idea Op, just a pity how it's ended up.

@oldowlgirl, let's just continue on our fun thread as we were and ignore the sad old attention seeker

Can anyone explain 'lathered' to me? My Geordie friend says this. I think it means she's tired, but in my mind, she's there with a big bar of soap!

Big bar of soap springs to mind for me too .

Unless she means leathered as in drunk?

Or ludered as in she was quare ludered. Very drunk
