🇬🇧English Mates Guess Scottish Slang! 🇬🇧

[@Nimeariel]

There's a joke about "yeah, right".... A linguistics professor was lecturing to his class one day. "In English," he said, "a double negative forms a positive. In some languages though, such as Russian, a double negative is still a negative. However," he pointed out, "there is no language wherein a double positive can form a negative." A voice from the back of the room piped up, "Yeah, right."

[@galaxyanimal]

Always heard it as "yeah, yeah".

I’m an American living in Scotland for a year and a half so far, and I haven’t heard those slang words yet. I’ve heard other ones, like “nackered “, which means exhausted. I have trouble understanding people here in Glasgow- in Edinburgh the accent is easier to understand. The shocking thing is they are speaking English words, but they trill ALL the R’s, which then affects how the vowels around them are pronounced. Like earth...they say “airth “ but with trilling (rolling) the R. If they talk fast like normal, it’s very hard to understand. But I love it here, the people are wonderful.

[@lannapeanut]

Some of them aren't actually slang (like radge, peely-wally, aye, and braw). They're Scots words (Scots/Lowland Scots is a language distinct from English and isn't the same as Scottish English). I'm Scottish, lived here all my life and I haven't heard some of the ones in the video either, so I'm assuming those ones might be more regional (some definitely are -- you'd be more likely to hear someone on the east coast saying "braw" than someone in Glasgow). The only ones I hear used/use myself are: radge, peely-wally, messages, fizzy juice, aye right, reeking and braw (I've heard of scran but never hear people use it). Although, reeking and braw are usually used in a different/more broad context (e.g. braw can be used to mean pretty/lovely/handsome...so a handsome guy is braw, a girl can be braw, it can be a braw day, but if you're talking to someone and they just say "braw" then they probably mean that as synonymous with "good/brilliant" and reeking usually does just mean something/someone stinks in general).

[@bradleyb3901]

lannapeanut I’d agree I live in Glasgow and I know the ones you know.

[@ginismoja2459]

It's spelt knackered and is not an exclusively Scottish word, it's use all over the United Kingdom

[@Carol-Bell]

Tony Mvr thank you. I had never heard the word. A man at the Glasgow airport told me “you look knackered” (my husband and I had just gotten back from a trip)... I guessed the meaning... of course how would I know it’s used all over the U.K.- so thank you.

I spent about 2 weeks in Scotland when I was in college. It was in 2004 and it took place during our Spring Break. This was all part of a class that we signed up for. We spent the first 8 weeks of the semester learning all about Scotland, including its language, its customs, how to get along, and all of the basics of how to travel around the country. It was a great time and I always would have liked to have gone back, just have not had the chance to do so yet. Love you guys and always look forward to your videos. Take care of your voice Lia.

The Scottish “Braw” is probably derived from the Scandinavian “Bra”, meaning “good”. I imagine this came about from the marked Viking influence in Scotland.

Because our particular area of the country is so secluded and would have been quite difficult to traverse for so long that our speech patterns never evolved with the rest of the country. Quite interesting. For example “I like to have a cup of coffee of a morning.” Apparently that would have been said in very old Shakespearean or Victorian english.

Did y’all know that the “English Muffin” was invented by an Englishman, but it was not invented in England? A man named Samuel Bath Thomas emigrated from Plymouth, England, to New York City in 1874. By 1880 he had opened his own bakery at 163 Ninth Avenue, and it was there that he invented what he called "toaster crumpets", selling them from the bakery to hotels and grocery stores. It was these wonderful little delicacies that we know today as “English Muffins.”

[@markoldgeezer167]

I didn't know that. Thanks for posting.

[@victorwaddell6530]

Emile Clede. I thought an English muffin was our version of a crumpet .

[@markoldgeezer167]

A crumpet and an English muffin are similar, but they're not the same thing. Apparently, when Samuel Bath invented the English muffin it was supposed to be the same thing. But as far as I know, English muffins are not popular at all in England.

So, if dessert is pudding, what do you call actual pudding?

[@hpatton16]

I think they would call it custard or mousse.

[@alistaircooke3233]

Matthew Hickey Maybe custard?

[@markoldgeezer167]

I don't think the British actually have American pudding. Mousse is the same thing sometimes, like chocolate mouse. But the one I hear about the most is Salmon mousse. (There's no such thing as "Salmon pudding".) And custard is not eaten by itself; it's a topping - like whip cream is a topping.

[@marilynmcelroy9634]

The main thing that makes something a mousse rather than a custard is that mousse is whipped so it has a lot of air in it and is more fluffy.

[@markoldgeezer167]

Yes, but what is the difference between chocolate mousse and American chocolate pudding?

The US has many different words for carbonated nonalcoholic beverages ("fizzy drinks" or Scots' "fizzy juice"): down most of the East Coast, it's "soda". In much of the midwest (and New York state north and/or west of Albany, Pennsylvania west of about Harrisburg), it's "pop". In the Atlanta area, it's "coke" even if you're not ordering cola (much less Coca-Cola). In the Boston area, it's "tonic" (pronounced TAWnik), even though it doesn't contain quinine (the main flavoring ingredient in Tonic Water, which is primarily used in mixing alcoholic drinks). "Yeah, right..." (with sarcastic emphasis on "right") or even (said sarcastically) "Ri-i-i-i-ght" are often used here. "Tidy" can mean clean and well-organized ("a tidy home") or substantial ("a tidy sum" = a lot of money) I'm wondering if "messages" for "groceries" comes from the same root as "mess" for (military) meal -- cadets' dining rooms called "Mess Halls", breakfast = "Morning Mess", and "Mess Dress" meaning the fanciest, most formal version of a military uniform (with nonmilitary spouses at the event generally wearing full-out evening formal attire)...

Maisie Ravier I wasn’t insinuating that it was a slight per se. I was just wondering how they might feel when the the term “American” automatically refers to us from the U.S., when it’s not ENTIRELY accurate.

[@diogenestuefelsdruch1662]

What I heard from a Canadian many years ago (back in the '70's) is that Canadians don't consider themselves Americans, Americans being more materialistic than Canadians. And as I wrote on another thread, Brits named us Americans while we were still colonies. They may have originally included all English colonists in the New World (I don't know), but the revolution of 1776 sealed the deal for the lower 13 colonies being America. Also America is short for United States of America, just as States or United States is short for the same.

Thanks Diogenes! That’s what I was wondering. 🤗

Tidy means neat or clean here. In fact a famous bathroom product is Tidy Bowl ... also refers to hair. Hair is either messy or tidy.

Lia what happened to your voice sounds like your loosing your voice

[@Dani_Reasor]

It could just be from performing, if her show is what I think it is. It's sounds like a stand-up comedy show, but someone please feel free to correct me if I'm mistaken.

[@ithilnin123]

Daniel Reasor, yes. She’s doing a one woman show, so speaking a lot.

[@Dani_Reasor]

Ithil Nin I like your avatar. Tennessee represent!

[@stephenfusco7472]

Lia you are adorable and your voice oh my, just completely awesome! Total cuteness!

[@articowl2]

Thanks for doing this. As an American, I like learning about other cultures. My great, great grandfather was Scottish and it’s fun to learn a little about the Scottish slang. He married an English woman so that culture is also fun to learn about.

Tidy up has been used as long as I can remember in the heartland and Yeah right has also been used here in Oklahoma for decades. Went to Edinburgh back in 86 and loved it. Can’t imagine how nice it is now. Have fun in Scotland!!
