Many of these comments were taken from the Scotland Independent Party's
manifesto... I'm sure of it!

I'm not sure if Gordi is ginger, though.

As Willie in The Simpsons displays, it's a stereotype that Scotsmen tend to be red-haired
or 'ginger' as they say south of Hadrian's Wall!!

In Britain they have many of these 'semi-mickey-takes'... for myself, I would be seen as
someone who eats a Parmo or a Stottie cake and talk like this:
"Whey mate, How's it ganin... like?"
("Why, hello there friend, how is it going?")

In Wales, the male stereotype is someone who enjoys romancing sheep, wears a leek in
his lapel and sings on high mountains.

In the south, everyone is seen as a Cockney who enjoys eating pie and mash, sings
accompanying a piano and instead of the usual words, rhymes them as such:
"Watcha me-old cocker... I'm goin' up the apples and pears"
("Hello my chum, I am ascending the stairs")

There's many others and of course, Gordi's stereotype -just as most, is done only in jest.

Funny you mention that. As you know, my main language is French, English being my second language. That being said, sometimes, I do have a hard time understanding what U.K citizens are saying. I do watch a lot of show where there are U.K actors, Louise loves them as she spent 10 years in the U.K. She'll even let out a 'bloody this' 'bloody that' every once in a while...

But when it comes to Scots...(or certain Aussies for that matter) oh boy...most of the time I can't understand squat ! We watched a show recently where someone ended up in a Tavern (or something alike) in Scotland and I didn't understand one word the bar tender was saying. Not. One. Word.

Then I turned to Lou and said...'man...Gordi from Rogue probably speaks this way... tinywhat

To which she answered...'all depending where he's from in Scotland, it could even be worse than that...' tinyhuh

Hope she's wrong... tinyshocked

I too -hope he's fine with our chit-chat and I certainly don't mean any disrespect to the Big Man.

In regards of different dialects that Sol mentioned, it would be interesting for Big G's input
on the regional changes in Scotland. I have heard them, but I'm not sure which-belongs-to-which.

Although I'm slightly south of the area this YouTube clip shows, my tone is similar.

I understood...perhaps 30-40% of what they said in that one. But then again, my English accent when I speak would probably be worse for them to understand lol... My Dad had this strong Canadian Acadian accent...many of my friends didn't understand what he was saying when he spoke..a mixture of French, English and a lot of slang from both...most of my Aunts and Uncles spoke the same way.

No, God no. No disrespect meant towards the Big guy !! Different accents for a same language would be a normal thing I guess. Same goes for French. There are certain areas in France where the French language is so differently spoken that I hardly understand any of it as well...and that is my native tongue. Marseille comes to mind.

The 'Southern Belle' accent from the States is also a tough one for me to grasp, at times. But it's all great in their very own unique way !

I struggle with it at times!
The characters used the word 'gadgy' -like the word pronounced gadget, this means
'man' or 'fellow'
The expression 'divna' means 'didn't' and 'knaw' is 'know'

'Nowt' is nothing and 'hoose' is the same as in Scotland, 'House' -as the expression
'Bairns' This means children.

I didn't Understand A WORD! minusculespooked

RE: Uh, Gordi - gordi - 09-26-2016

"Gordi hears ye, Gordi Disnae Care!" LOL

I LOVE Groundskeeper Willie!
My favourite groundskeeper Willie one was when he was racing a wolf?? or some such creature...

He says "There's nary an animal alive that can ootrun a Greased Scotsman!" ROFL

I can confirm that I am not Ginger! (Although I do have some cousins of that persuasion!)

My "pet hate" is when movies cast non-Scots in lead Scottish roles (like Mel Gibson in Braveheart)
Terrible Terrible fake accent..

"Ah luv ye, ah waant tae marry ye!"
F*CK OFF!!!

James Cosmo (William Wallace's pal "Hamish's" dad) is the real deal.

I really like genuine regional accents, whether Scottish, UK or further afield.
I can usually get pretty close to identifying where someone is from by their accent!

...and.... just for Marc.... this is what I sound like....

Cheers!

Duh...why didn't I think of that ?!?!?

Awesome accent !!! I should read that and record it to give you an idea of what it sounds like from a French Canadian English Acadian speaking dude...

Very, very cool !!!

"Heid thuh Ba" is a soccer reference! (Translates as: "Head the Ball")
It is used to describe someone who has hit the ball with his head too many times and is now a bit.... punch-drunk? Slow? Dim-witted?

A Bunch of "Heid the ba's" is just a group of guys who are deemed to be a bit... uhm... lacking in intelligence!!
