Now I want Whisky
redsmerf
+1 for proper Scottish spelling
MadMatti
It's only the proper Scottish spelling of its proper Scottish whisky. If its not made in Scotland then it is whiskey.
redsmerf
Yes. I know. Given that this is Scottish twitter, I'm assuming Scotch whisky.
StarrryNight
If it's not made in Scotland then the proper spelling is piss water :D
StonedLikeACheatingMuslimWoman
ELI5 why there's a different spelling in Scotland.
MichaeIJCaboose
Because they can. Like with Colour and color
MadMatti
The Scots spell it whisky and the Irish spell it whiskey, with an extra 'e'. This difference in the spelling comes from the translations 1/?
MadMatti
of the word from the Scottish and Irish Gaelic forms. Whiskey with the extra 'e' is also used when referring to American whiskies. 2/2
dustmybroom
Being Scottish I can tell you that this repost annoys me
errrikblack
is this like the ghetto/trash slang of the scotland?
dustmybroom
Which makes it confusing if you haven't heard them out loud in a conversation before
dustmybroom
I pretty much but they have spelled some words the way they would say it rather than using the actually words
Bonemamma
Sounds like there all from Paisley, Glenrothes or falkirk
DanAykroydFanClub
A ken
ILikeCoffeeAndCats
Being from Falkirk, I take exception to that. Sounds like Glasgow Neds to me, so I'll side with your Paisley view.

Aye, doesn't seem like Falkirk

I cringe *hard* when I see scottish twitter on here. 89% of us do not speak or write like that. Still love it mind you, cringe and all
bax498
I speak that way but not type, shame really.
ValiantMacbeth
A bit of slang is fine, It's when it's spoken 24/7. When it's hard for one off your own to understand you, then That's a problem.
BallpointBastard
Would be more accurate if it was called Glasgow Bam Twitter

Do they seriously type like they speak......dumb question I guess but I had an accent in my head the whole time so I could understand it.
CorvusBelli
Some of us (Glaswegians, mainly) speak like that, but typing like that is rare.

spamstafford
Some would say that it's "Scots" (https://sco.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scots_leid ), but the "bams" answer might be more accurate.
frjackhackett
that's not scots hahaha it's typing phonetically
Danowar1990
No true Scotsman types like that.
BingleyBingleyBeep
...can't tell if intentional fallacious argument from clever person, or accidentally funny! +1, just in case.
LittleAutumnLeaves
The funniest thing I did today was sing Uptown Funk in a Scottish accent... cracked myself up big time.
pimenta13
How do you even do that? I just can't separate accents from song lyrics - could be due to not having English as a main language, dunno.
LittleAutumnLeaves
UPTOON FONK GONNAE GIVE IT TER YAE!
pimenta13
Fair enough. Oddly, I still can't avoid picturing Willie from the Simpsons just screaming it rather than sing it.
LittleAutumnLeaves
THA' MEEKS IT EVAN BETTAH!
TheJakiestBake
Can confirm some of us speak like that
r0sh
Pure lovin yur username n aw
michaelmcghee22
It's more difficult to lose the dialect and accent than it is to just write properly. So most speak like that but at least type in English.
eggmuffin
Stupid people do, yes. These people are the Scot equivalent of hillbillies. They're white trash.
ekstw
Please. That's offensive. It's 'white rubbish". Kthx
shimmyshimmyyashimmyyamshimmyyay
I always thought scots spoke English.. And I learned something today.

Quite a lot of us speak like that, but thankfully only the bams write phonetically so they're easier to spot.

for the benefit of the rest of us, what are bams?
frjackhackett
never mind, someone's given a definition without me asking for it
BeardKhan
"bams"
Justineer
The U.S. is very much the same. You can know someone's status just by seeing them use "da" instead of "the". -_-

Fairy liquid=dish soap?
Dewaqq
yes we have dishsoap brand Fairy
SecretCatPolicy
dish soap=washing up liquid (Fairy is a brand)? I thought 'dish soap' was soap kept in a soap dish by the sink, for washing your hands...
AnnUncommon
Dish soap, at least what I call dish soap, is what you use with a sponge or cloth to wash dishes, bowls, plates etc.
SecretCatPolicy
That's what I'd call washing up liquid. Huh, TIL. Also, thanks to whoever for downvoting me for not speaking American English. Arseholes.

I think he's using dish soap instead of the flowery body wash his maw bought.
SaiChiMagic
Its a brand, I think the green one smells really good like a combination of disinfectant and mosquito repellent.
JacksonsDaddy
You Scottish have an interesting idea of what smells good

It's in all the UK and Ireland, not just Scotland

Wow! A real TIL! Then, considering how many Irish/Scottish there are over there, maybe I shouldn't be surprised the phrase ended up there ;)
weeewoooweeewoooweeeewooooooooo
Yeah, it was fookin weppin tho
RequiescatInPace
What does the phrase mean?
cocoakoumori
A woman who's unpleasant, nasty and sharp turn of phrase. Probably cruel with it. Or, an unattractive woman. Maybe both.
cocoakoumori
tbh with Irish/Scot slang, it depends on the area you're in and sometimes the generation of the speaker. Meanings can vary (^^)
