Slang!

Here`s some Glaswegian `Patter` for you Asimina .......

 

Clicky -----------> Glesga Patter

 

Logdaft,

 

Now that takes me back to the 80's when routinely about Glasgow:lol:, a lot of those older established words/expressions (like "Boke" for sick) are also in common use by the locals/natives here in Scots-Ulster speaking Co. Antrim.

This could be one reason we are poorer at speaking foreign languages, simply because our own is enough of a challenge to master!

cheers

Amendment to below , as some aren't slang but colloquial dialect. These:

Slape - Tump - Goot - Burn - Tarn - Fells; and maybe Lass.

 

Slape = slippery

Lass = girl or younger than oneself woman

Ta = thank you

Now we're cooking with gas = before it was going slow or not working but now it's going well.

Tump = hill

Big tump = notable rise in the landscape

Goolie = back lane, (narrower than a road and seperating the back gardens or yards of two lines of houses) or partially encloed walkway

Goot = Queue, line, tail

Burn = small to medium size stream

Tarn = small body of flatwater, as like a pond

Fells = mountains

Felltops = same altitude as the summits...

 

Funny how things can play on one's mind, even the little things.

Completely different meaning of "goolie" round here:laugh1:

Ive got 2 , but hitler had 1

I'd like to add 'tamping' & 'tamped' to to list. As it's tamping down now = raining big drops and lots of them. The kind of rain that removes the fells from view. If I were driving now, the rain would be sheeting down the windscreen, (windshield) and the wipers would have a hard time of it.

 

Not slang but 'stop-cock'. What do you over 'the pond' (Atlantic Ocean) call the main shut-off point for water into a property?

Apparently he did have two but Chairman Mao only had one. Aside from that, I thought the pronunciation would be a problem. The 'oo' isn't pronounced as the 'ou' in ghoul. But as like the 'u' in Gutenberg.

When it's raining buckets, we say it's raining cats and dogs or just pouring.

 

The main shut-off would be called the water main. I am no plumber though.

As well as a nice selection of STIs, I believe.
