What does Lazy hand mean in Scottish accent ?

[@pilsis7765]

In (Austrian) German we have an astonishingly similar phrase to "Is that you?". We say "Bist du es"? or more common in dialect "Bistas?" meaning "Are you ready (to go)?" or "Are you done?". Works as well with plural forms ("Sammas?") . It's a very common phrase here.

[@mattbrown3290]

"Is that you? " is kinda deep. I like it.

[@ingaborlowski1536]

That was an educational video 👽 Love how universal phrases can be from place to place but yet different at the same time. “Getting the messages” is hard for me to wrap my head around though, the rest makes sense to me 🤦‍♀️🤪 Glad you and your family have recovered from Covid.

[@blackbear9326]

Great video Erin. 👽..... two of my favourite sayings are " yer coats oan a shooglie nail" & "yer bums oot the Windae" cheers hen. Stay safe 👍🏼

[@cristabirney8080]

I grew up in Dundee, Scotland. I really like your videos. I've lived back in the States since I was 12 and really miss a lot about Scotland. Maybe you already have a video (i'll go look in a min) about Scottish schools? I'd love to see inside one today! I went to Powrie Primary, and it's no longer there in Dundee :(

[@sarahwithanhyouheathen3210]

I love language vids. They're so educational and funny 👽❤

[@aayushsankhyan7001]

I feel like I'm in love with the Scottish accent.❤️

[@RockFan89]

Going for the messages = In the US I guess this would be like saying "going to run errands" which could include grocery shopping, post office, getting gas, etc Ma Heid's Mince = we'd say "my brain is fried." Usually after getting off work or school where we had to put a lot of thought into something all day. =) Interesting videos.

[@johnowen448]

Sorry if you have already covered this one but I just thought of the phrase Oor Wullie or the Broons used which was 'help ma boab' which means I think good heavens or a stronger version of my goodness me! If only we could return to the 1960s style of Sunday Post.

[@scottbrockman5883]

I have just watched this on KZbin for the first time, after watching the same video on KZbin of Scottish phrases from Jamie Kimmett, himself. I may be English or come from an English background, BUT I'm not Scottish nor am I from Scotland, but that's on my Mother's side of the family. I only learned the Scottish accent from the Mr. Scott character from Star Trek and Grounds Keeper Willie from the Simpsons and the Scott's Lawn and Care TV commercials. I'm curious about what "hide yer hence from me heath" if it's the same thing as "keep off the grass". The only phrase I learned is "burst my bonnet". Thank you for that and God bless you 🙂👍.

[@novagrey6348]

I'm so late to the party but I love all your videos. My fiancee is Scottish and this is very helpful. 👽

[@amirbehrooz3857]

I am an english speaker in the US... I love the Brits, and Scottish English is the funniest English there is. Listening to Scots speak keeps my mind satisfied, it makes me laugh just trying to figure it out, and it will never get boring to listen to. Learning about Scotland will always be on my list of fun things to do, I will never be done in with the Scots.

[@amirbehrooz3857]

[@nobodyhere017]

This was grand! Enjoyed video as always 👽! But, yeah, "Am done in," is the perfect phrase to describe getting through 2020. Here's hoping next year's a belter 🤞! And of course, thanks for sharing Erin, appreciate it!

👽 I love watching your videos. I'm learning from where some of the words & phrases I've used and heard all my life have come from (I'm in Tennessee). I've used blathering a lot, but blethering is new to me.

[@DivandBenny]

All the best Scottish phrases can be found in still game and chewin the fat. I still call people a fandan on a daily basis 🤣

[@ErinsHoose]

Aww defo! Hahah haven''t used fandan in a long time

[@kevinyancey1962]

I just moved to Scotland from the states a few months ago. I still do not really understand half the population here😂😭 Makes tinder dates fun though

[@TheFinalMeowntdown]

777th like! Love languages, love language, love Scots leid and Scottish slang. Glaswegian is easily the best English accent. 🤓👽

[@robotnic]

"I cannae be arsed" and "aww whit" are probably my most common ones, since my husband is the only person who knows what I'm on about anyway. "That's me" is definitely one I didn't realise was Scottish for a long time - an English friend mentioned she said it on the phone to her mum once before she realised it wasn't common there. 👽

[@ErinsHoose]

It blew my mind! ohh cba is definitely popular with me haha

[@nathangardinerlinedancecho6340]

I use most of these phrases and I like them and I’m from Fife. Another favourite from mine is “Ah dinnae ken” but have loads.

[@climer588]

Thanks. It's good. Some of those sounds a lot like southern US language. We say "blitherin' idiot" or maybe "he's just blitherin." (alien Imoge ,on a desktop)

"Greet" is just a variation of what we say in Sweden! "Att gråta" = "To greet". The Norse connection again :-) Used a lot this year...

[@ThistlesJones]

I always thought that haverin meant puking...not kidding.

[@Justsomebody009]

I say “no worries” all the time but whenever me and my partner say no bother we say “nae baw-hair” in the strongest Scottish accent we can. And we are Scottish.

[@richardtodd6843]

"Done in", as in "I'm all done in" is something we have in the US Midwest (Cincinnati), though I don't hear it too often.

[@ErinsHoose]

Ah yeah, we'd just say "am done in"

[@SteffiMedranoVO]

I'd love to have you as my support worker - bet you're a belter to be haverin' with!

[@SpearAndMagicHelmetYT]

@@777theprophet About halfway there already tbh.

[@Yertle_Turtle]

@@777theprophet Well, sounds a bit funny if you're in the industry, but for most of us it's jobby

[@777theprophet]

@@Yertle_Turtle I've also experienced that, I once worked in an emergency ward, guys would give a thumbs up or down on looking at what was just brought in or making jokes about it, it's a bit like being in a war the jokes are made to ease the tension you feel 'cause all around you is so disturbing, if you didn't you might loose your mind. To willingly go into situations and try to improve some helpless person's life shows character. War medics never know what's coming down the pipe and I've seen embalmers go about their job singing, but that sort of thing is usually kept among those involved.

[@Snarkapotamus]

Back when I was much younger, we used to say "let's be went"...meaning, let's go/leave.

[@wild13hawk]

CURRENTLY! 😁😁😁

[@wild13hawk]

👽 Don't be greetin', but I love watching your videos!

[@Obsidian_MoonVT]

We use, "is that you?" "That us" "well, that's me" In New Zealand also. I use "my head is mince/mush" a lot. I say "I'm done" but not "done in" but probably just short version lol

I’ve watched several UK videos and seen posters do convincing American accents. The explanations was they grow up watching American TV. Can you do this? Might make a good video.

[@ErinsHoose]

Greet is cry? In US is means to say hello.

[@ErinsHoose]

Greet means to say hello to someone all over the world, even here 😂 but sometimes words have other meanings too, like here it also means to cry.

[@Riot076]

About: "going for the messages". In French you say "faire des courses". The noun "courses" comes from the verb "courir",which means "to run" (so it's literally "to do the runs"). From this noun you also have the word "courrier" which has been adopted to English as "courier" (litteral translation would be "runner" or sth like that). Currently in French the email "message" is called "courriel",but I can see how maybe back then the messages carried by "les courriers",could've been called "les courriels". So I can see like some "subtle ties" there,but I can also be mistaken

[@lilyliz3071]

You are probably correct as there was a strong bond between Scotland and France which led to what we call The Auld Alliance,many Scots words are derived from French and most would be pretty recognisable to you still

[@Shwee113]

It would be really amusing if you tried to do a whole video with an american accent. Like the plain midwest kind not fancy southern or New York.
