Do they not have scottish accents also?
Aye, but they dinnae talk like ah dae, most o' the time. ← See? Ah don't know why, am just mair comfortable talkin' in Scots, maist o' the time. But ye cannae dae that aw the time, especially in social situation withoot makin' a total eejit o' yersel'. That's how ah feel, at times, anyway. So ah suppose that explain the being laughed at? Am unintentionally funny, ah guess...?
But, ye see, speakin' in Scots nowadays, there a sterotypical assumption by some folk that if ye talk using mostly Scottish words/dialect then yer a NED (Non-Educated Delinquent - a hooligan in other words). Because they speak mostly in Scots and they're no too bright, either. So ye see why am so self-conscious aboot the Scotch accent?
Scottish, ah mean... - just a wee joke, there.
Ah mean, the day, ma oldest sister laughed at me fur merely answering her question: "
What wrong, can ye no be bothered?" Me: "
Aye..." And ah left it at that and went aboot sortin' ma laptop. As ah had been, afore she knock on ma bedroom and just entered room. Noo... where the comedic value (laughs) in that situation? Eh?! Or am ah missing something, there?
I can recall last living with my family. It almost drove me up the wall at times!. It was constant, daily irritations. In the end it was somewhat violent arguments (last one i recall being chased with my dad carrying a rock; bloody fiery scottish ancestry, f*ck it, lol).
F**kin' hell!
Good thing, am too passive tae huv an argument end like that. Though, ah do huv quite a temper and fly off the hand verbally, sometimes. :bigsmile:
But now been living alone for well over 10 years, so that stuff is all long forgotten. I still react to hearing people tho (eg neighbours); i tend to HATE hearing people's noises (let alone their words!).
Your family members do seem rather "nasty" or something similar. Is this true?
I wouldnae use that exactly word aboot ma family. More patronising and condensending... Though, ma 2 older sisters do like take the piss outta me ("
jokingly" make fun o' me). And ah say jokingly with a great o' sarcasm because they're jokes are sh!te. And not joke ah could respond tae wi' a witty comeback withoot partly meanin' the insult deep doon. Since am the youngest of 3 - though, am no the youngest member o' the family.
