A friend of mine after arguing with a very stubborn guy on a meeting, said to him: Yer bum's oot the windae.
Brilliant!
My da always said that.Even got me saying it to Kids when I was a lad.
Being from Sweden i can hear some similarities every now and then with the Scandinavian language's in the Scottish accents.
Have you googled the shetland accent?
You crabbit? I can't believe that!!! Maybe on the morning after. I know a tune called Crabbit Shona, apparently after a barmaid who wanted to close the hotel bar at four o'clock in the morning and go home to bed, when folks were still drinking!!!
Yeah it's really helpful, thanks so much dear
Loved it. Well done.
Haha I’m a Scottish American and was engaged to a Scot and her mother always teased her for speaking “posh” 😂 anyway love your shit. If she spoke like you maybe I’d have gone through with the engagement and married that wee sassy lass lol
This is so funny!! in Surinamese (from the country Surinam. former colony of the Netherlands) we also use 'bledder' but more in the way of 'talking rubbish'

I'm writing a show with a scottish character, and based on all my research thus far, I'd say my favorite slangword is fannybaws! Haha!

Nut can also mean "no", although I know a lot of people up here say "naw" instead haha.
You're really fun to watch, I've subscribed :) I'm also making a list of Scottish slang words/phrases so I can test the knowledge of my non-Scottish friends, haha, and this video gave me a few others to add to the list 😂
I’m Scottish and you wouldn’t say nut as in no you would say nit or naw

SCRAN is a very common word in the Australian navy. It also means "food", but it's become an unflattering acronym that now stands for "S*-er, I mean.. ~stuff~ Cooked by the Royal Australian Navy"
Peely wally - that's me!)
Your fairy-tale-ish accent and looks make me wanna ask, "Merida, is that you?" =)
Actually, if I speak with my native (Ukrainian) accent, it'd sound similar. We loove the rolling Rrrr, I call it the Real R, haha

What about "numpty?" Maybe that says something about me that I've been called that a lot.
Makes me miss hame.

so I watched irish woman (wolfe momma) than some blond scottish guy with a gignger bead (Shaun), now I'm watching this video...I noticed how sottish people tend to have their mouths (lips) on one side (she has it on her right) when they're talking, I noticed that watching Gerard Buttler in movies and Tom Jones in The Voice...probably if I intended to speak with scottish accent I would also have to copy those movements and tongue position in mouth as I see she does when she says "rgl" like "burglar" or just "r" in general because they roll those "r's" in general
...I just realized that 90% of video I was watching her mouth move...jaysus I'm a weirdo
Caw. Canny ,means slow down take it easy ,used in fife
😁😁😁
The 'Wee' thing is a bit like how people use the word 'Literally' they don't always actually mean literally but they say it anyway just because. I guess humans are just weird like that 🤷♀️
How to say how are in Scottish accent?

Americans still use "nut" in reference to "head" i.e. "That person is off their nut"/ they're crazy. "That [item] is driving me off my nut"/ the item is driving a person crazy. " That person is a nut case/nutter"/ they're crazy.
We do? Where do we do this at? Havent heard those phrases in decades! Generally, now nut refers to the male anatomy. So if english is not ones native tongue, and you are in the States, i wouldnt use that word in ANY other context other than its proper meaning unless the people around you use it to mean 'head' or 'noggin'. it can go wrong more times than it can go right! But nut case & nutter will be used as you say.
@@inconnu4961in the 70s it was very common to hear "he's nuts" to mean crazy. To talk about nuts in the other meaning started with my children's generation (90s?).
Same thing with pussy which before that time it was an affectionate way to refer to a cat.
Language changes with each generation, and older meanings become obsolete.
Yaise them aa except oo say bowk, insteed o boke.
Im from Aberdeen and when we talk about dirty, we say 'mUcket' instead of 'mOcket'
All I could think of is my ma sing “Ye cannae shove yer grannie aff a bus
Ye cannae shove yer grannie aff a bus
Ye cannae shove yer grannie
Cause she's yer mammie's mammie
Ye cannae shove yer grannie aff a bus. Hahaha
Another slang word we use is “how” it used in place of why
I like “Having a chinwag”, to chat.
Before forgetting the Scottish culture:
Scottish children complained to their parents' that, they are bad speaking scottish language, and they asked them
Either teachers study it well in schools or you have to teach it us secretly at homes

As a Korean who loves Swedish music, it’s likely that I am well aware of the meaning of “braw”.
Hello Hen Heaven, only one of the 15 is a slang word, ie nut. Two are English - scran and dour .The rest are Scots words from various origins including Gaelic. Love your energy and enthusiasm but a wee bit more research would be good. Hope you are safe and well.
It is not slang.
Not slang.
Scots is a language.
