Apparently there are some words that I use that have less than favorable meanings in the UK so while taking my young son to visit his grandparents in Scotland I am going to have to learn a whole new language!
Bugger: I tend to call our son a "cute little bugger" in Scotland Bugger means to fuck someone in the ass....er OK can't use that one in front of the grandparents!
Muppet: I also tend to call my son "The muppet" but in Scotland muppet is rude slang for a retarded person.
Granny Crack: I tend to joke around that my mother is addicted to her grandson and I call him Granny Crack because she can only go for so long without a fix. In Scotland Crack is slang for Vagina so saying Granny Crack is just wrong.
Fanny: My family has always used the word fanny instead of bottom or butt. In Scotland Fanny also means vagina.
Man! I need a Scottish slang dictionary for this trip!

Re: Stuff I can't say in Scotland
Wed, May 2, 2007 - 7:55 AMIt's okay to knock someone up in the morning. But never ask for take-away food "to go" or they'll add a laxative. If you do slip up, just say you've got a case of the lurgi and they'll probably understand.

I don't know what is the matter with me but i just went into absolute hysterics
i think it was from contemplating who I ought to send the link too
'cause I do like to share my toys
and then realizing that I couldn't send it to anyone
What would they think!!
I'm sure I've never laughed like that all by my lonesome in my whole life! -

Re: Stuff I can't say in Scotland
Fri, June 8, 2007 - 7:57 AMOK so the Scots are an interesting bunch.
I learned that the term for drinking till you puke to make room for more drink then returning to drink more is called a Tatical Chunder. Gross but actually not that uncommon in the UK.
The word Scheme is way overused in the UK. If there is a plan to provide housing then it is called a Housing Scheme. If there is a new public gardens program it is called a Garden Scheme. If there is a paid family leave program it is called a Family leave pay scheme. It is not so much used in the negative sense.
The word for diaper is Nappy in the UK so I guess a Nappy headed Ho would mean something entirely different there.....well, not entirely I guess.
Haggis is gross to think about but actually pretty yummy.

Re: Stuff I can't say in Scotland
Fri, June 8, 2007 - 10:21 AMMmmmm lamb good.
It was spring so there were cute little lambs in all the fields. They really are so darn cute especially when they wag their little tails while they are nursing from the ewes and then they run and do that thing where they buck their little hind legs. One of the times we ate at a country Inn and they were serving fresh lamb and Bruce looks at me and goes "That is probably the very same one you were cooing over this morning." Yeah, thanks dude. -

Re: Stuff I can't say in Scotland
Fri, June 8, 2007 - 10:18 AMI find it funny that you guys were more grossed out by me eating haggis than by the term "Tatical Chundder."
Oh yeah and I almost blew hot tea out of my nose when I was sitting in the conservatory with Bruce's Mom and she says "Yuni do you like my pussy?" and points out the window to her cat statue in the garden. I knew what she meant of course but I have never been asked that question and it was hard not to chuckle. -

Re: Stuff I can't say in Scotland
Fri, June 8, 2007 - 10:20 AMI will do my part and spread "Tatical Chundder." in honor of your trip

Re: Stuff I can't say in Scotland

Re: Stuff I can't say in Scotland
Fri, June 8, 2007 - 10:45 AMEdinburgh is the Stag party capital of the UK and possibly even of Europe because there are so many bars so easily travelled to by foot or taxi. A Friday night in Edinburgh holds many many groups of roaving men dressed in costumes and what have you (Stag parties in Europe tend to have themes). The funniest thing I saw was a group of guys standing outside a bar trying to guid the very drunk groom away from his tactical chundder and back into the bar for more. They were holding onto him by the straps to his Borat bathing suit. He was practically blind with drunkness. Sadly a tradition of stag parties is to also put a groom passed out in his undies on a train to another city. I wonder where that guy woke up? -
