Guest Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 I raise you a work colleague: Oh-ven. She also calls a vase a v-awe-z (rhymes with paws). Thats the Northern Irish for you though.Had a Nordn Urish p***k who played for my last team, insufferable p***k especially when he spoke. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmic Joe Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 My mum pronounces breakfast as brakefast which always sounds ridiculous, despite it probably being correct as it is the breaking of a fast. Her mum was from Aberdeen, which probably explains matters... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A96 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Weegies can't pronounce sausage properly. It should be "sossidge" although "sassidge" is also perfectly acceptable for folk from the north-east. The weegie pronunciation is something like " sawaseej". And to think the f@ckin p***ks get worked up about whether it's square or not. Canna even say the main word properly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJ2 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 BOOOOOOO is just simply a ridiculous noise to make and should be acceptable only at the Christmas panto. At the fitba your displeasure should be expressed using proper words. eg when the half time whistle blew a few weeks ago and we were 4 nil down to Celtic I told my team loudly that they were f@ckin pish , f@ckin shite and f@ckin pathetic. When it’s the ref that’s the target , my preference is to shout that he’s a f@ckin cheatBOOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
