7, 10 and 15!
▸▸ MEME. NOT FROM THE US ASK SET.
7 - 3 WORDS FROM YOUR NATIVE LANGUAGE THAT YOU LIKE THE MOST?
▸▸ Scots is my native language. Which is more of a ‘chameleon’ language nowadays (I saw nowadays as if I was alive a couple hundred years ago) but is still super important to Lowlanders. Three favourite words would be:
Feart - I talk about this word a lot. It’s something which bugs me because there’s literally no good translation of it in English. It’s to be scared but not very scared, it’s like a small fright
Dreich - We have a lot of words to describe different types of rain in Scotland, but ‘dreich’ is basically… a grey day where the sun never comes through the clouds, rain hangs in the air and everything’s miserable and dark
Sleekit - this is a way to describe a person. This is something I wish I could use in RPs. A sleekit person is sly, untrustworthy, creepy
10 - MOST ENJOYABLE SWEAR WORD IN YOUR NATIVE LANGUAGE?
▸▸ I don’t enjoy Scots swear words, and I hardly ever use them. Most of them refer specifically to genitalia and I just don’t like swearing in such a way? So, I’m gonna use a word which isn’t a swear word:
Hackit - Ugly, there’s no better way to describe it. Generally directed toward a person
15 - SAYING, JOKE, OR HERMETIC MEME THAT ONLY PEOPLE FROM YOUR COUNTRY WILL GET?
▸▸ One I hear way too often is “am a right… or a meringue?” or…
A Glaswegian woman goes to the dentist, he asks her to take a seat. “Comfy?” the dentist asks. “Govan,” replies the woman.
Or…
What do you call a Scot with one foot in the door or his house and one foot out? Hamish.
