BFTD Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I used to know a lassie from Fife who used the word "hingmy" like punctuation. Lovely woman, but your head hurt after an extended conversation, as you spent most of it trying to work out what she was talking about. Sadly she never used "know whit ah mean", as that would've been a helpful opportunity to say "no!" "...so I was at hingmy and so-and-so said we could give hingmy a try and hingmy so we swung by hingmy's bit to see if they wanted to come and hingmy..." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Just now, Hedgecutter said: I raise you kno whit ah mean, but. I've picked up ending sentences with "but", along with liberal use of "like". As in, "I wid've called you, like, only there wisnae time, but". May God forgive me. It wasn't deliberate, I swear. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stimpy Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Vegans and people who live an "alternative" lifestyle, usually women and will tell you all about their lifestyle choices and, well, nothing else. Firstly, being vegan is cool, really I'm happy for you but no it won't give you "vegan powers" like in Scott Pilgrim. Once I know you're vegan I really don't need reminded, I'll remember.Burgers taste nice however I will not tell you this constantly nor will I emphasise how much bacon brings to the party, I have too much tact for that nonsense so please refrain from telling the cow/pig had been murdered over and over again.Secondly, if you dye and cut your own hair while listening to a 3 hour track of a naked warrior woman playing a triangle then that's cool and rocking your alternative lifestyle. However the woman in the local hairdressers doesn't really give a flying f**k regardless of what you might think and you really don't need to shoot dirty looks as you walk past. I'm really sorry for your failed relationship and that he just didn't get you and your free spirit but I'm really just not that bothered. This annoyance has risen from a few people I have just met and have been keen to tell me how different they are from everyone else. Well I've decided I'm more of an everyone else kind of person. I thank you very much. Edit for a spellcheck error. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife actually does this on purpose. Pie booting occurs every time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do they all pretend they're Australian, turning every statement into a question as if they think you might be too simple to understand their drivel? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320Lichtie Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 People trying to talk to you about their achievements in FIFA/Football Manager as if it's real life or as if you give a flying f**k. It's absolutely incredible how serious some people take Football Manager. You don't actually really do anything, I've played it and enjoyed it tbf but I've had what looks like good teams and players getting shite results and bad teams and players doing well. It genuinely just feels like a lottery that the computer makes up. Atleast with FIFA you physically play it and control the players, although I wouldn't be bragging about any achievements on it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to think it was an unusual way of speaking for a small minority of people until I spent about 9 months working on a project for a major City of London law firm a couple of years ago. I must have interviewed, presented to or had conversations with at least 300 of their staff and pretty much everyone under the age of 30, from young IT apprentices on £15K to qualified solicitors on £150K+, spoke in this manner. I even hear my own kids do it...but they are soon corrected! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamaldo Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Orange chocolate is one of the greatest combinations to have ever been created by man, and I'm not even exaggerating. I got a Terry's chocolate orange for christmas and I can safely say it was the best thing I ate over the holidays. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
