Fascinating World of Scottish Chat

Sometimes, given the tools or the ability to see how people
in other countries speak their form of english,
I go on some foreign chat lines to observe...

Aye, today I went into one of the Scottish Chat Rooms and
it was a whole new world - trying to decipher the lingo.
Most of the locals have a distinct way of talking, this is not to say
that they all talk like this on there, but some of the
"homeies" give chat in a distinct manner"
Ive copied a few phrases for ya, and then folowing that, ive more or
less explained what I think they mean..
here are a few:

ah cannae help it (I cannot help it)
cas a dont gee a flit (cause i dont care)
really wen am listin tae people like u(really, when I'm listenin' to people like you)
wen am ready tae when im ready too(when I'm ready to, When I'm ready to.)
u really want to know who am are(ya really want to know who i am)
can I play wa u again perry(can I play with you again, Perry?)
ats eh best way(thats the best way)
u ready tae go bk in the bin(you ready to go back in the (iggy)bin?
no sure?(not sure)
u widnae want tae eat oot(YOu wouldn't want to eat out)

canny be any worse than the chippy i got ma hamburger oot(can it be
worse than the chippy I got my hamburger out?)
a wiz gonna launch the thing( iwas going to lanch the thing)
a wanted tae listen tae ma tunes(I wanted to listen to my tunes)

It's not so hard to figure it out after awhile, but trying to imitate their lingo would be a bt harder.
Anyway, as The Sundance Kid said in the movie to Butch-"I thought secretly you wanted to know"
(about the world of Scottish Chat.) :)





I know a person who was in Ireland for a long time on a job assignment,
and when he came back he drove me on the streets, but started going on
the wrong side of the road(he caught himself quickly..i guess it was
his brain trying to reinterpet right hand driving(kind of dangerous it
was, scared the b-jeebers outta me!
