Welcome to the Broxi Bar one and all. This is the place to chill-out and talk about things other than the famous Glasgow Rangers. For the locals you all know the score- just place for banter. For any none Scots please come inside and feel the warmth of the Scottish people 
Talk about anything you like or ask questions about Scotland, etc.
This is a spin-off from the the Banter Thread which did exists for a while and I was going to resurrect. Only Rangers fans and members from outside the Scottish forums ever posted in it so it seems like here is the best place to situate the new thread.
Many none Scots may also be unaware that although we officially talk "English" in reality we talk Scottish so if you need any translating from Scottish to English we'd be glad to help.
Here are some examples:
Phrases
Scottish: " Your gettin yir face panned in"
Translated English I shall punch you in the face.
Scottish: " Wee Shuggy did a big toley in his keks at school the day. The hale class wis mingin so it wis."
Translated English Little Hugh done a number two in his pants and it made the classroom smell.
Placenames
Scottish: Furry boots Toon
Translated English The affectionate name by which Aberdeen is known to the rest of Scotland. From the way that Aberdonians phrase the question to outsider 'where are you from?'... which is in their inimitable accent pronounced something like 'Furryboots ur you fae?'
Words
Scottish: Fanny
Translated English The female pudenda. A stupid or clumsy person, EG "Watch wherr yer pointin yer submarine ya fanny, this is Skye"
Scottish: Fannyboz
Translated English A male with testicles also displaying characteristics of having a fanny
Scottish: Howfin
Translated English Smelly, Stinking- "Man yer feet are howfin'"
Just to recap. The last topic of discussion was the lack of manners in today's society. The Green One stole the show with his solution:
"Simple solution, put one of these new fancy Nuclear Powerstations near a council estate so all the chavs are sterile."
That's the kind of thing we like to hear. Classic! :thmbup:
