to wonder why glaswegians cant say definately properly?

[littlemissfixit]

why do they say defenently? its definately!! Does it make anyone else cringe when they here it? When i here a weegie say it, my whole body shudders!

Hold on a minute, I need to go water my poinsetta, then I'll be back to let you laugh at me a bit more....[tee hee]

I'm enquiring as to your culinary and clothing preferences during your stay in the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary,which begins tomorrow I believe.

I can see this is going to be a long term stay.

right.
Outside.

Lmao, are you 'sending the boys round'?

My DH is wondering why I am falling about laughing.

I'm foreign. My husband and children are Scots, though. And tbh, I never even noticed how they say 'definitely'.

Not that I probably would have cared had I noticed.

And perhaps one involving the removal of a large potted plant from a rather tender area.

song all together now -

Oh I was born in Glasgow, near the centre of the town,
I wouldd take you there and show you, but they've pulled the building down.
And when I think about it, it always makes me frown,
They bulldozed it all to make a road.

[CHORUS]

And that great old place I miss so much has seen much better days,
And still we talk about it as we go our separate ways.
Oh, but Glasgow gave me more than it ever took away,
And prepared me for life on the road.

[REPEAT CHORUS]

My granny was a cleaner, my grandad drove a tram,
My father an engineer, made me all I am.
They have seen the city come and go, still they give a damn,
There's so much to learn along the road.

And Glasgow gave me more than it ever took away,
And prepared me for life on the road.

I've just tried to explain the poinsettia story to him but I'm laughing so hard that he can understand about one word in twelve!

Given that most words are spoken phonetically, I think you'll find in alot of cases it's the Scots that are actually pronouncing the words correctly as it's much easier to say the phonics in that accent.

I wouldn't dream of 'sending the boys around'. I'm a great believer in the concept of DIY.

Perhaps you shouldn't explain it then as doing so may result in injury.

I'm in a good mood now,having just had a rather delicious ice cream float so I'll forgive you this time.

And Giraffes's made me rather weepy.

Maybe next time we could laugh at the English instead of each other?

Hmmm well my dp is English but then that's all the more reason to do so. It's a date.

This is Glasgow we don't fight with gloves. Those are for softies.

nah weegies fight with empty bottles of buckfast

cringe at your bad spelling ya bawbag.crawl home

i know i'm terrible, my typings awful, i dont look at the keys i'm pressing and if i'm watching telly, well, results are there in black and white. really should proof read!

ah'murnie gonnae post on this agin cos yer aw a bunch o fuckin dobbers

get something proper to get yer drawers in a fankle aboot. you err in syntax but dont allow for regional accents?

maybe if you had a more interesting life your body shudders wouldn't solely be weegie accents

maybe if you had a more interesting life your body shudders wouldn't solely be weegie accents
