She was wrong. If she was from Bathgate she'd have said 'ken' and 'like eh'...... Non Weegie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDYER63 Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Gtf all you zenophobes that lump together everyone west of Edinburgh as weegies. Paisley Buddies have our own identity and individual nasal dialect. Do teuchters pronounce it as ‘teu’chter or ‘Chooch’ ter ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well , I would have probably thought that too, but I can hear in my head a sort of high lilt and it being pronounced ‘tyooch’ ter. Do we have any teuchters in the house that can confirm ? Anyway enough of that. How on earth did I miss this when it came out. Glaswegians have the 3rd sexiest accent in the UK and sexiest in Scotland ! Edinburgh was a mere 13th , even scousers beat them 😆 https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.scotsman.com/news/uk-news/four-scottish-accents-have-been-listed-among-sexiest-uk-here-how-they-rank-547005%3famp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friends from Paisley and Renfrew would say that to me all the time and I never knew what they meant, but then I moved to Paisley and I realised what they meant. People from Inverclyde also have a bad habit of writing how they speak, for example "In the town" becomes "Inny Toon" I used to text like that when I was a teenager but it's quite depressing to still receive these type of texts at 35.
