Torpar Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 After 6 years in Canada my automatic greeting now is "hey, how are you?" Even though I have zero interest in how the check out person is doing, zero. 99.9% of the time the answer is always "Good, how are you?" I miss the days the simpler days of "awright mate" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y'awright pal. B. Aye, yersel? A. No bad pal. That tends to be my passing conversation. Either Person A or B. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, I'm also in the habit of calling everyone buddy, I think it's important for immigrants to assimilate. 6 minutes ago, 19QOS19 said: A. Y'awright pal. B. Aye, yersel? A. No bad pal. That tends to be my passing conversation. Either Person A or B. I remember those days fondly. Occasionally I'll throw out the odd ça va? To an older lady that lives in our building and then hope my fourth year French was enough to continue some banalités On a slightly related topic, I remember speaking to my second cousin from near Dumfries once, asking how he was and him answered "my heid hurts, I was gassed last night" Took me a while to figure out what he meant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 I don't usually mind small talk over hello/how are you? but there is a firey rage burning inside of me every time someone opens conversation with "Awright, ye winnin'?". You're not Charlie Sheen m8, and even if you were it's fucking shite patter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get a fair bit of abuse from my Weegie/Ayrshire training colleagues for using the word "gan". Had no idea it wasn't used across the country. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightswoodBear Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Whilst responding to a DM on twitter to Virgin Atlantic with a snarky message because they are robbing c***s, I somehow managed to attach an emoji of a sloth drinking coffee. And I can't delete it. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I can't delete it. My daughter said on Facebook yesterday, her friend's aunt posted a pic of the friend and her recently departed-from-this-earth grandpa. She meant to post a sympathetic reply but later noticed she had accidentally posted a crying with laughter emoji in response.
