  Thanks for translating. As a non native English speaker I nearly got a stroke trying to understand these… words.

    To assist:

    • Lesbo: short for lesbian

    • am no: I’m not
    • tae: to
    • yer: your
    • pal: friend
    • shag: have sex with

      I got all of that except “shag ye x,” because it sounds like “shah (fuck) you x,” where “x” is the subject that is a bit vague. Like, “I’m trying to shag you, love?” or “Fuck your ex,” as in, the lady person you broke up with?

        “x” is a kiss, used as an informal “yours truly” in British English digital correspondence

        I could be wrong, but I thought the x at the end was just a cutesy sign-off. Like “xoxo” type of thing.

        Pretty sure it’s the x in “xoxo”, the old convention for hugs and kisses.

        it’s not a contraction, it’s possession.

      I unabashedly used subs and thoroughly enjoyed the entire series. Top ten comedies in my book and I am olde.

  Isn’t “coming from you” a put down? Or does it more mean “you care about fashion and looks, so obviously you know”?

  source

  • captainlezbian@lemmy.world ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    It’s an amplifier. “You’re hot” makes it mean “someone as hot as you thinks I’m hot? Damn”, “you smell terrible” makes it mean “how the fuck do you of all people even notice my small with that rank odor”

      “You’re hot”

      Reminds me of that one scene in arcane

      You’re hot, cupcake

    It’s ambiguous, but the 👸 emoji solidifies it as a positive comment.

  …And she says, “thanks” knowing I’m a lesbian and appreciate female beauty sexually taking the complement more intensely. I ain’t just being…

  I think gays and straights have the same problem, though.

  Where i come from a shag is a party

  source

  • Iron_Lynx@lemmy.world ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    That’s a shag, a noun. What about the verb, to shag?

  • teuast@lemmy.ca ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    where i come from it’s a carpet

    or just particularly thick pubes

  That’s how I read it too.

  Also, this is how a girl politely turns you down. I take heart that lesbians are in the same boat as hetero guys when it comes to this struggle. I read this and think “oh, girls are bad at this too!”
