wearealldoomed Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 I could ask Adam to try and explain what "rammes" are again if you like. Only folk who have some connection to Coatbridge and parts of Airdrie would know what that means. It wasn't until my early 20s that I reealised that it wasn't used in that context anywhere else in the land. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you try and type "scones" into your phone using predictive text, it comes up with "rammes". Shakehands Tom used to come and visit us for tea and rammes when we lived near him. We've not had rammes in a little while. What does it mean to you? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've not had rammes in a little while. What does it mean to you? I thought you meant the plural of "rammy", which is a Coatbridge word for a returnable soft drink bottle. I assumed Adam had picked that one up whilst working in Whifflet years back. In other parts of west central Scotland, shit words such as "gingey" and "hector" are used instead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked him just there before you replied. He knew it! I was thinking of "rammies" as in scraps and all that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldojag Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Dave choosing to show post Lamarr 'Never Mind The Buzzcocks'. The show has gone seriously downhill since he left, now aimed at a more younger audience topped off with that p***k Simon Amstell hosting. I hate that fucking c**t. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lisa Cuddy Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 It doesn't mean that? That was the only one I knew, until I discovered the most recent meaning. Ahh, the old glass cheque.... We've enough empty Irn Bru bottles in our cellar to pay our rent. They're actually starting to get on my nerves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anywhere else in Scotland, that would be it's primary use, aye. Glad to hear that Lanarkshire's rich patois has rubbed off anyways. Ahh, the old glass cheque.... Is that the East End equivalent? I've heard of the phrase, but never heard anyone in Glasgow use it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I first heard glass cheque mentioned a few weeks ago and it nearly floored me. The guy that said it is originally from Killie, now in the west end.. Maybe it's an Ayrshire thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Gingey" seems to have spread it's tenticles thoughtout the Greater Glasgow region now. Shall have to see if any c'nt I work with knows of "glass cheque". Most of Glasgow and a good bit beyond is represented there, so someone must know where it originates. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
