I can share a funny story (I hope you find funny)

I took my Scottish relatives bowling while they were here on holiday. My cousin Jimmy threw the ball, and then started to trip on his own two feet. I innocently yelled out "don't fall on your fanny!!!"

Turns out that word means something very different in Scotland then in America. Thankfully Jimmy had no hard feelings, just a really red face. Oops!! 

[[ho...]]

Haha getting there tey means something completely different!!

Well, I never, that is a different language ... those of us in the North-East of Scotland wouldn't understand a word of it.  :crazy:

 

Except this one ...  :D

 

"Awaw n bile yer heid"  - Go away and dont be silly!

 

And I am absolutely 100% Scottish ... right back to the 1600s ....  in fact 95% north east Scottish ....  :D

 

Of course you can't be sure the records tell the whole truth ...  >

 

I will be surprised if there are many more here from our beautiful country ....
