Outwith is a word, I’ve been using it all my life. As I type this on my iPad it is highlighting it. Fùck right off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That gubbins language can't even distinguish the second person plural nor such a basic concept. I know 'yous' and 'yese' are very Scottish words I use very regularly when talking, just seeing them written down (a fair bit on here), makes the writer come across as a bit thick. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBo10 Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Jobby is another word I grew up with and just thought everyone used. Apparently is predominantly a west of Scotland word. It caused much consternation at my nephew’s school (in Melbourne) when he was asking the teacher if he could go to the loo cos he needed a jobby. Eventually just bolts to the loo. My brother is then in talking to the teacher after school having to explain the term jobby to a teacher. His mother was mortified, my brother couldn’t stop laughing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was delighted when the wife's family referred to "taking the dog out for a pish", and they likewise when I explained that we also use it to say something's rubbish, or that somebody under the influence is "pished". Then I went too far by explaining some of our other words, but least said, soonest mended. 5 hours ago, bernardblack said: The woman in the Voxi advert for unlimited social media ^^^ thiiiiiiiiiis. I take it they're just trying to build awareness of their name and don't care if it's only because folk detest them for those adverts. I see they've recently re-edited the "I am endless" advert to make her seem less of an utterly self-absorbed & terrifying thundercunt, but they still haven't been entirely successful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
