On a similar note, until my 30s I never realised Scampi was a small fish.

I'm currently 38 (will be 39 next month) and I've only just got the lyric "Bustin' makes me feel good!" in the song 'Ghostbusters' by Ray Parker Jr. Don't feel bad. I only got the Paul Bearer thing about 5 years ago. When I was 35. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Central Belt Caley Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 It only clicked when the St Johnstone new manager thread was posted why people nicknamed Craig Levein “Avril” for me. Had seen people calling him it for years and it never twigged 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was down in England, stopped in Leominster, had no clue it was pronounced ‘Lemster’. Made a twat of it. Mind you, up here it’s a minefield. Still scarred by my years working in Falkirk and not knowing how to say ‘Camelon’ properly. Ach, fcuk um’, Falkirk’s a weird place anyway. Spelt Camelon, locals call it “Kemlin” and Scotrail train announcer says Cam-e-lon 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was about 6 or 7 the radio announced that Prince Naseem was fighting someone in "The Big Apple". I thought he was going to fight someone in a big bouncy castle type thing shaped like an apple. I still think that would be a great spectator sport. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scampi as in the stuff you get battered should be made from monkfish tails. @Venti may be able to elaborate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A young guy asked me yesterday where see enis road was. He was walking round asking people. I thought he meant Sienna Gardens. He then started to spell it out to me.
