Hedgecutter Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 That Weegie one definitely grinds my gears, as it did on the radio earlier today. There's a reason that despite a swathe of Scottish news reporters / commentators being present outside of Scotland, all of them are from the East Coast or north of Scotland. In contrast, anyone with a Weegie accent gets put into quarantine at Pacific Quay. Storm Huntley, who is the exception, will be out the studio door with a one-way ticket to Bishopbriggs at the first sign of a wrinkle. Anyway... Oven: Awe-ven vs Uvvin correct answer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Derek Ferguson, in particular, is probably the best example on Sportsound, although Willie Miller runs him close for "weegieisms".Ahll tell ye wot....you're not wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Shouting “BOOOOOOOOOOO” at a fitba match. Going radge at a fitba match when one team voluntarily gives possession back to the opponents , after the ball’s been booted out so that an apparently injured player can get treatment. Additional wariness if the lad’s going radge at one of his team’s players for giving the ball back to the other team.Similar to the giving back possession (and more a calling card of morons tbh) but when Team A have the ball and a player down but continue to play on then lose possession and the fans start having a go at Team B for not kicking the ball out. 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...

Is NI actually divided along socio-economic lines in addition to religious ones in terms of accent? What a fucking place to belong to... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
