Slang Words (or accents! :p)

[Effulgent]

do you guys have any slang words that are native to you're city, region, country etc?

there are some aberdonian slang words that I used to use when I was common.. I'm posh now you see I just try and speak properly now.

Fit Like = what like? aka how are you?

"alrite angus fit like?"

fit = what
fa = who
far = where

"fits yer name?" "keith, fa's askin?" "yer ma!, your teas ready!"

"far are ya?" "london, my dear fellow"

dah ken = don't know
ken = know

"scotland is in europe" "aye ah ken!"

and also:

how = why

LOL which is annoying.

"go away will you!" "how?" "walk you idiot!" "aye, ah ken, but how?" "argh"

ah = I

I think "ah" is scottish slang, I might have just made it up since I was too lazy to say I.

oh and

alrite min = hello man!
nit = no
wifie = woman
quine = girl
moo = mouth (aka "shut yer moo!")

and aye = yes, thats used by everyone in scotland, not just aberdonians.

edit:

bide = live
aboots = about

aka "far aboots do you bide?"

and yer ma is also a insult aka "your mother" you know "yo mama!"
I look forward to the slayerfest members coming up to aberdeen and using the aberdonian slang. alite min! och aye!

No wonder people think the Scottish are buffoons.

[Effulgent]

oh shut yer attractive moo, ye crazy quine!


who are these people? don't they know not to insult scots! we'll get drunk and start a fight with you!

[JamesMFan]

I thought that was the Irish who did that.

Isn't quine a dirty word?

I was simply demonstrating my slang word of "buffoon"

[Effulgent]

the scots and the irish are like butter and bread! we're hard when toasted and we spread easily!

No I don't think so.. is it?

do they say buffoon a lot in.... wherever you're from (beside london.)? ohh are you guys the ones who hate the scots? ohh if william wallace was here now

[JamesMFan]

Eww. TMI.

I'm thinking of quim. Nevermind.

I'm not in London, nor particularly beside it We don't hate the Scots. No one hates the Scots they're a great source of amusement.

[Effulgent]

ohhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!! woman! I didn't mean it like that!

great source of amusment? I hope you mean "billy connelly is the greatest comedian ever" by that.

and this "scottish" slang that I've never heard anyone say, amuses me greatly:

May yer lums reek lang and weil = May your chimneys produce a great profusion of smoke.

1. it sounds dirty. 2. haha who says "may your chimneys produce a great profusion of smoke?"

[JamesMFan]

Oh yeah, sure the talk of hardness and easily spreading was SOOO innocent.

He is a good comedian, and that's partly what I meant


I often say "may your chimneys produce a great profusion of smoke"


The only slang I can think of is probably not limited to my region but it's things like "Leg it!" or "Peg it!" and there was a great list of slang for stealing and farting that my sister used to say life "chiefing" or "chafing". Not stealing and farting simultaneously, though.

[Spuffy]

The only slang I can think of is not just limited to my area. We're not that creative.

Yo = Your, Hey!, or it has no meaning and is the single word that you can add to any sentence and it still works. - "How's yo mamma?" "Yo! What's up?" "I can't come, yo."

Pimpin' = Cool, awesome - "That car's pimpin', yo!"

Word = I concur - "Man, that project was difficult." "Word."

Oh, snap! = Darn!, Drat!, Uh oh! - "Did you do your homework for today?" "We had homework?" "Uh, yeah." "Oh, snap! I forgot!"

Oh, burn! = You just got dissed! - Boy 1: "Dude, you're an idiot." Boy 2: "That's not what your mama said last night." Boy 3: "Oooh burn!"

Salty = Upset, Sad, Mad - "I was so salty when my mom told me I couldn't use the car anymore."

Dismissed! = Oh, burn! - See "Oh, burn" and replace the last line with "Dismissed!"

Poppin' fresh - Cool, awesome. - "That shirt is poppin' fresh!"

Trickin' - Lying, deceiving. - "You've gotta be trickin'."

Trippin' - Lying, freaking out, high from drugs. - "You've gotta be trippin', man! He wouldn't do that!" "Don't be trippin', dawg! It'll be a'ight!" "Man, I was so trippin' last night after I took those pills."

Flagging - Failing. - "I'm totally flagging my math class."

Iny = Any - "Got iny food?"

Idn't = Isn't - "He's going, idn't he?"

Gay = Stupid, unfortunate. "Man, this assignment is gay! It doesn't make iny sense!"

Sexy beast = Extremely hot, or goodlooking, person. "Oh yeah, he's a sexy beast!"

And that's all I got right now

[JamesMFan]

Salty? hehehe.

Sexy Beast is a Ray Winstone film

Ive got one mate who uses diabolicly off colour rhyming slang but thats it Nothing as weird as that Scottish business
When we went on a school trip to Alton towers we heard some northern kids saying ''as if!!!' at the end of every sentence , and felt smug at how behind the times they were

[Effulgent]

those were just rumours!


haha salty!

and Idn't! cool I want to move to... your area,

"oh man I'm so salty!, dat mama be trickin, idn't do anything yo!"

the "scottish" business isn't weird! you would say that wouldn't you! *insert scottish insult for the english here* FREEEDOM! don't be dissin our dialects and slang words yo or rather dah be dissin!

[z]

weirder and weirder its fun to tease scottish people as theyre always expecting it and secretly enjoy it i think

[Effulgent]

we do, well I do, I like teasing the english as you probably know, but all scots like doing that, I remember during the 2002 world cup when england were playing Argentina, the sales of argentinian wine went up in scotland HAHA everyone here was supporting Argentina.

but yeah its all fun!

[JamesMFan]

I predict a civil war sometime soon.
