Scots isn’t just an accent, it’s a language in its own right.
Although honestly I’m not sure how much of this is Scots and how much is just specific to Scottish twitter lol

Lots of people do it here in Austria too, and I hate it.

A geh, is doch iagendwie liab, oda?
Übahaupt, jetzt wo si Hochdeutsch imma mea duachsetzt, und vü junge Leit übahaupt nimma richtig östareichisch^1^ redn leanan, missn ma doch schaun, dass unsa Sproch net oafoch ausstiabt, oda?
Mia hom a a longe Tradition, wonns um Mundoatdichtung geht. Da Dichta von da obaöstareichischn Hymne zum Beispü, da Stelzhamer Franz, hot gonz vü in Mundoat gschribn.
Und weis ma grod eifoit: Es gibt a a eigene Wikipedia in unsam Dialekt: bar.wikipedia.org Oba do dua i ma söm schwah, dass i des vasteh. De is scho in da äagstn von de oagn Mundoatn gschribm.
(So, jetzt woas i net, wöcha Sproch i im Dropdown do untn auswöhn soid… Wei wirklich Deitsch is des jo net…)
[^1^] I am fully aware that the dialect I’m writing in is not called “Austrian”. The two big dialects spoken in Austria are “Alemannic” and “Bavarian”, and the one I’m writing is the Bavarian dialect. I’m only using the word “östareichisch” here, because that’s what I expect most people to use in spoken conversation.

Newfies do the same. Was a whole fuckin thing to unlearn when I found the Internet lol
vithigar@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
Yes, and so many of them do it wrong, it’s crazy.
Don’t know how many times I’m after seeing “bye” instead of “b’y”. Stunned.
Swarfega@lemm.ee 11 months ago
I hate reading the Americans now typing “y’all”.
problematicPanther@lemmy.world 11 months ago
y’all is a legitimate word and i’ll fight you over it.

It’s easier if you read it out loud with a Scottish accent. Works for novels as well!

First attempt I was like “wtf am I reading?” then I read it with a Scottish accent and it made perfect sense

The least politically loaded and agenda-pushing peopletwitter. That sub encapsulates the lightheartedness of Scottish people.

Being lesbo sucks. I tell a girl that she’s banging and I get “coming from you 🙂”. Literally no, I’m not saying that to be your pal, I’m saying that to shag you…
Or something, I’m not Scottish
PhobosAnomaly@feddit.uk 11 months ago
maybes naw but ye ken fit like. pure spot on man
ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.de 11 months ago
she’s banging
“coming from you 👸🏼”
Can someone explain why anyone would reply like that? I am not a native English speaker. I could understand “coming [to answer the door] for you, queen” but not anything “from you”.
Ddhuud@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I think I’m having a stroke.

I am not a native speaker. Prolonged exposure to the demoman from TF2 meant that I could understand all of this on first try. I am proud.

“Being a lesbian sucks sometimes. You tell another girl she’s a hottie, and she says, “thanks” like we’re being friendly. I ain’t just being friendly, I’m trying to fuck!”
I think I translated it correctly.

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

Isn’t “coming from you” a put down? Or does it more mean “you care about fashion and looks, so obviously you know”?
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”
jpeps@lemmy.world 11 months ago
It’s ambiguous, but the 👸 emoji solidifies it as a positive comment.
CobblerScholar@lemmy.world 11 months ago
…And she says, “thanks” knowing I’m a lesbian and appreciate female beauty sexually taking the complement more intensely. I ain’t just being…

Where i come from a shag is a party
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
dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 11 months ago
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!”
