Heres a welsh one. When I was born my welsh mum announced to my irish aunties that wanted to call me Sian. To which they all look puzzled and said " i thought the baby was a girl, what do want to call her Sean for?"

And guess who's got a new nickname now? ;)

That reminds me on an incident related to me by my mate about when they were being given a safety talk upon arriving at a new North Sea platform:

Safety Instructor: "Now...you all have to remember which bunk you're in." points at one of the new crew and asks "You...what bunk are you?"

New crewman (from Aberdeen) "Bunk o' Scotland! Fits that got tae dae wi' onything?"

I'm getting worried now. I'm going to have to learn a whole new language.

Hey Mikey,

About 20 years ago some wag put together a Dundee Dictionary and it was a hoot, hard to get now. There's a few websites dedicated to Scottish vernacular and this one is pretty good, always remember that when visiting a foriegn land that the locals will appreciate you attempting their language and customs... Though in Dundee the may just " Scud yer puss!" :lmao:

Try here: - http://www.firstfoot.com/dictionary

Lang may yer lum reek

Oh I like this post as you may see,

Any Scots... and those of a different ilk may like to read some of the wonderfull books by Bill Duncan, a teacher in Dundee though harking from Fife ( but we wouldnae hold that against him ) he's penned such wonderfull tomes as "The Smiling School for Calvinists", "The Wee Book of Calvin: Air-Kissing in the North-East" and "Together Again".

Give him a try I laugh out loud reading his stuff.

Wee Glesga wumman goes intae a butchershop, where the butcher has just come out of the freezer, and is standing hands behind his back, with his rear end aimed at an electric fire.

The wee wumman checks out the display case then asks, "Is that yer Ayrshire bacon?"
"Naw," replies the butcher. "It's jist ma haun's Ah'm heatin'."

I've got loads but not many postable here :)
