British Indy: What Happens Now?

just a lucky guess....

 

like it! well the use of the word, not the sentiment so much...

 

That sounds like we are having a celebratory drink due to the union

 

but perhaps it should be "we are going to Scottish this union"? rather than put a Scottish to it.. personally i prefer your version.. (and dont really know which is correct!)

 

The Concise Scots Dictionary isn't available online and the definitions are too long for me to type out in full.
But here are a few snippets:

Scots &c 17-; Scottis &c la14-17, Scottish &c, Scottish lal17-
A Forms: Scots (the descendant of the historical Sc form) survived till 19 only in certain locutions, but has gradually re-established itself as preferable to Scottish in general contexts among Scottish
Scottish (the contracted Eng form and the prevailing form in England) was adopted into Scottish speakers when speaking Eng. Scottish (the full Eng form) was used in general contexts by anglicizing Scots (17-18); then retained in formal contexts stressing national or historical aspects (la1: 'Scottish Burgh', 'Scottish Crown'. Scottish (the contracted Eng form and prevailing form in Eng 17-) was adopted into Sc and was the prevailing SC form but is now acceptable in Scottish Standard English only in certain compounds: 'Scottish broth', 'Scottish whisky'​

Also:

Scottish Bun Black bun
Scottish convoy the accompanying of a guest all or part of the way back to his home
Scottish cousin a distant relative
Scottish cuddy a pedlar, travelling packman or draper
Scottish & Flummery a kind of steamed custard
Scottish gravat a hug, a cuddle
Scottish horses a formation of children running with their hands behind their backs
Scottish mahogany the wood of the alder which turns red when exposed to light and weather
Scottish muffler a drink of liquor, esp WHISKY (regarded as keeping one warm)
​

 

I would say not.
" is now acceptable in Scottish Standard English only in certain compounds: 'Scottish broth', 'Scottish whisky'"

 

Has it become like he N word, some can say it but others can't or is 749er just a drama queen? Answers on a postcard please

mmm robbie burns or 749er?

 

Question, surely the Scottish concise dictionary would be in Gaelic and not English?

 

I prefer the Oirish.........

 

No it is the Scots Concise Dictionary not the Gaelic

 

Read carefully. It was because he lived in different times when it was acceptable.

 

So you're using our language too even though you want to leave us? Tut, how rude

want to keep our language, want to keep our pound, want to keep our monarchy, you sure you want to leave?

 

this will give some a giggle and some others the cringe.
