	Well I suppose that has always happened - good old Shakey (of play fame rather than behind green door) was very adept at using and twisting current language. That is why he was so popular with the masses and commoners.

Member Since: June 2005 Posts: 8,791 Send Message	Hmmm yerself Bob!! Why? Are you a big scunner? lolol :-D :-D "Scottish" is a wee bit complicated. "Scunnerred" means pee'd off (sort of) but A "Scunner" is somebody who is annoying you or giving you cheek. OH's first trip to Scotland was in 1988. I told him he'd probably have a bit of bother understanding some people. He said he'd be fine, because he understood my Mother, and he watched Taggart. Oh Aye! Any help from Scottish residents on the language welcome :-) I'm still wondering what a "kind of" Scotsman is.
