  • In this video we were explore the secret language of the Scots. Apologises if they're spelt wrong. They're hard enough said, never mind spelt!
    Apologises as well for the picture quality near the end. This was filmed before I purchased some lights. The camera settings were set for the light conditions at the start but a couple minutes later t got really dark. I tried my best in editing to fix it.

      I think it depends on when you were born Sabrina,when I was at school in the 80's it was always a "punny eccy",but when my daughter was at school she and her friends always referred to them as just "punnies". Or if you were really snobby a "Punishment Exercise" LOL

    Good fun with that list - most of them I'd never heard before. Breeks is pretty easy once you connect it to breeches. Skivvy we use over here, but as 'skivvies', meaning underwear. That last is the usual challenge with bairns lol!

    @_e11e_78 7 років тому +3

    Knew jobbie and skivvy, that's a bout it lol. Though I thought skivvy was a slave. I know my Mum and Aunts (all Irish) will say "what'd your last skivvy die of" when you ask them to do something for you, which is their way of saying, I'm not your slave, do it yourself lol.

      @_e11e_78 7 років тому +1

      mine says "my mummy" when talking about her, when she was talking to her (she's passed now) she called her mummy. Is pretty cute, especially considering my Mum is 76 years old haha. Also, I'm not Irish, just half, was born in Australia. Here we say Mum.

    • @michelleflood8220
      @michelleflood8220 6 років тому

      S Wiggins that or Mammy same as they call their fathers daddy or as I do with mine da which is what Scots do too but mam is common for Scots to use for mum !

    • @michelleflood8220
      @michelleflood8220 6 років тому

      Same as me but I'm fourth generation. Whereas you'd be second if your mum is Irish born . me my mum is third whereas cause my great grandad emigrated she'd be third and my nan second on her fathers side as my great gran Kennedy born in Australia to two Irish immigrant parents the O'Briens who were from Cavan which though it's in Ulster province is actually a part of the republic along with two others of Donegal and Monaghan the other six of Ulster making up Northern Ireland !

    Wonderful! It's only a funny idea, but the word "piece" (sandwich) it's similar to "pizza" (napolitan pronunciation).

  • @brianhardrada1297
    @brianhardrada1297 3 роки тому

    The Scottish accent comes from Ireland. In fact Scotland gets it's name from a Irish people call the scotti,(Scoti or Scotti is a Latin name for the Gaels, first attested in the late 3rd century. At first it referred to all Gaels who cross to main land Britain from Ireland but not lot after it was used to describe people across northern Britain.

    @codemiesterbeats 6 років тому

    Breeks being pants isnt too much of a stretch... here in the Appalachian area of North Carolina we say "britches" for pants quite often. My guess is punny eccy means Pontiac... (type of car) but I twas wrong lol. For wibbit... I think its like what we say for being tired, we say we are whipped said like "whip't" you can also say that when a woman is getting the best out of her boyfriend... like whip't or p**sy whip't lol

    'Skivvy' is English slang as well as Scottish, but old-fashioned.

  • @Stephen__King
    @Stephen__King 4 роки тому

    The only one I had no idea about was Dookie/dooky, I know dook or dookin' (to dunk or dunking something)... But I was sitting for ages thinking about what could be constantly be dooked to be called a dooky. It makes sense, but it's no a word I associate with the swimmin'.
    Must be a Dundonian thing.

      Timothy Shawn Johnston really that's interesting found two Ulster scot links in my genealogy it's a bit further back though through my 3times great grandmother O'Brien she was from county Cavan her and the rest of the family came to Australia in the 1860s her maiden name was McGovern which I thought might be a link as most mc surnames in the Ulster province were brought there by Ulster Scots in the 1690s and later so thought I'd check out the possibility she was and was proven right as the mcgoverns are a sept of clan Macquarie and her mother so my 4times great gran was a mcgrayle which I discovered is a sept of clan McNeill but as far as I know these two women were catholic not Protestant so I can't go back far enough to verify this !
