BFTD Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Just now, Perkin Flump said: I can only go on my personal experience but I know a person who was nicknamed Jock who came down to Aberystwyth University, played for the local team & bought a pub and settled there. He is known to everyone as Jock & at no time is it meant maliciously. I am not comparing this to the obvious racial insults that are being discussed, in this case it genuinely is a term of endearment & has been taken that way, the likes of Charles Green can f**k right off with their casual racism nonetheless. Similarly, the only time I've ever been called a sassanach was by a distant relative, who'd always refer to me as "my wee sassanach" whenever we came up to stay. I didn't even know that was supposed to be an insult until recently; do thickos with a grudge against the English really break out Sassanach as part of their invective arsenal? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It goes both ways but I am sure many a McGlashan does,people need to chill out and stop being so angry about everything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DON'T YOU FUCKING TELL ME TO CHILL YOU JOCK b*****d Similar to ***, do you think we could get Div to filter out 'jock' and 'sassanach' if we annoyed him enough? I'm sure someone could find a derogatory piece of graffiti somewhere to back up our watertight case against their use. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergeant Wilson Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Isn't sassanach a term used to describe lowland Scots, rather than English, I know it means Saxon and could therefore be applied to both. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sasannach is just English. Saxons. The English speaking peoples of Lothian and the borders would have been Angles. Anglach Gall is foreigner and can refer to English or Lowland Scots (confusingly the western Isles are still referred to as Na h-Innse Gall but that refers to Vikings. Gaels have a long memory) and Beurla Ghallda could refer to English or Scots language. Usually you just say Beurla for English language which translates as language.

I'd recommend just staying in forever. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 It’s not what i said at all, I said Scottish people can retaliate by calling English people sassanachs and use other terms that are on par with jock. It’s a 2 way street that you see between all nations that share a border. I'd turn round and call them a c**t. Each to their own. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 There's a van currently driving around Alloa with (among other slogans) ALL LIVES ARE PRECIOUS printed on the side. It's playing the sounds of sheep bleating on loudspeakers. Looks like the local 'Freeman on the Land" nutter has found a new cause. I assume the slogan has something to do with BLM, but he's being as coherent as ever. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because he'd be past us in a couple of seconds, you only got to hear a snippet, and it never made sense. The only bit I remember was about the council stealing £400 from him. I'd guess it was something to do with that Freeman stuff about how you don't have to do anything The Man tells you to, so he was angry that reality had imposed itself in the form of a judgement from the court. His Facebook page - and he will absolutely have a Facebook page, guaranteed - must be a goldmine, so I'm trying to find out more information on the Alloa thread right now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
