“Being a lesbian sucks sometimes. You tell another girl she’s a hottie, and she says, “thanks” like we’re being friendly. I ain’t just being friendly, I’m trying to fuck!”
I think I translated it correctly.
…And she says, “thanks” knowing I’m a lesbian and appreciate female beauty sexually taking the complement more intensely. I ain’t just being…
ITIFTFY?
That’s how I read it too.
Also, this is how a girl politely turns you down. I take heart that lesbians are in the same boat as hetero guys when it comes to this struggle. I read this and think “oh, girls are bad at this too!”
I think gays and straights have the same problem, though.
Thanks for translating. As a non native English speaker I nearly got a stroke trying to understand these… words.
As a native English speaker, me too.

Should watch still game. You’ll end up with a brain aneurysm trying understand the Scottish pensioner’s
The Scottish pensioner is what?
it’s not a contraction, it’s possession.
the Scottish pensioner’s [dialogue]
where the last word is omitted for brevity
I never knew you can just omit such key words.
You’re weclome
well you can!
If you’re a big fat liar
And if the sentence feels sparse you can drop “which” in there wherever, because apparently it’s just filler now.

Personally father ted takes the cake in my books I’ve still got father Jack Hacketts wise words ingrained into my head
- drink feck arse girls
.such words of poetry such words of expression these words are moving pieces of poetry
To assist:
- Lesbo: short for lesbian
- Pish: an expression of frustration
- Bangin’: hot
- nd: and
- ye: you
- am no: I’m not
- tae: to
- yer: your
- pal: friend
- shag: have sex with
I got all of that except “shag ye x,” because it sounds like “shag (fuck) you x,” where “x” is the subject that is a bit vague. Like, “I’m trying to shag you, love?” or “Fuck your ex,” as in, the lady person you broke up with?
“x” is a kiss, used as an informal “yours truly” in British English digital correspondence
Wait, I thought ‘x’ was hug and ‘o’ was kiss. Have I been wrong all these years??
X is kiss, O is hug (at least, in the UK it is)
that is also how it’s always been explained to me
I could be wrong, but I thought the x at the end was just a cutesy sign-off. Like “xoxo” type of thing.
Pretty sure it’s the x in “xoxo”, the old convention for hugs and kisses.
xoxo… the old convention for hugs and kisses.

Isn’t “coming from you” a put down? Or does it more mean “you care about fashion and looks, so obviously you know”?
It’s ambiguous, but the 👸 emoji solidifies it as a positive comment.
It’s an amplifier. “You’re hot” makes it mean “someone as hot as you thinks I’m hot? Damn”, “you smell terrible” makes it mean “how the fuck do you of all people even notice my small with that rank odor”
“You’re hot”
Reminds me of that one scene in arcane
You’re hot, cupcake
Can’t wait for a second season. That shit was too good!
Where i come from a shag is a party
where i come from it’s a carpet
or just particularly thick pubes
That’s a shag, a noun. What about the verb, to shag?
I wonder if pirate talk origins are from Scotland 🤔.
West country you say wes… Oh no oh lord not cornwall cornwall makes me want to bash my head into a wall I’ll rather watch paint dry on said wall than listen to someone from Cornwall describe Cornwall history OH DEAR GOD HE WONT BLOODY SHUT UP HELP ME THE VOICES… THE VOICES… the voices… THERE SPEAKING TO ME THEY WONT STOP TALKING ABOUT WHEN THE FIRST CORNISH BAKERY OPENED UP IN 1887 OH DEAR GOD NOT ANOTHER FACT ABOUT CORNWALL
Who the hell goes to Cornwall? Seriously!
A lot of privateers were from Scotland and Ireland!
It’s easier if you read it out loud with a Scottish accent. Works for novels as well!

I can’t figure out what half of that says and want a translation
Being lesbo sucks. I tell a girl that she’s banging and you get “coming from you 👸🏼”. Literally no, I’m not saying that to be your pal, I’m saying it to shag you…
Or something, I’m not Scottish
maybes naw but ye ken fit like. pure spot on min
I can barely understand the gist of what you wrote. I’m genuinely curious how English did this… I assume from mixing with Celtic/gaelic languages?
No idea. The Doric branch of Scots is something else, it’s wild. Even if two people local to a particular area from thirty or forty miles away are gabbin awa to each other, I can just about follow the thread of the conversation but I couldn’t pick out every single word.
I don’t think anything in @edinbruh@feddit.it’s comment is particularly Celtic/Gaelic-inspired.
Banging is slang for hot. Pal means friend. Shag means have sex with. They’re all fairly common slang in the English language even outside of Scotland. Mostly in England, but elsewhere in the Commonwealth most people would be familiar with the terms, even if it wouldn’t be the first slang term they themselves would use.
I’m familiar with all of that…?
I thought it was obvious that because I responded to this comment, I was talking it in particular: https://feddit.uk/comment/5215388
Ah sorry. I misread and thought you were replying to the parent comment of that comment.
Anyway, I’ll admit I’m struggling with that one too. My best take:
Maybes naw: I think this is literally “maybe no”, possibly used equivalently to the Aussie “nah yeah” (meaning “yes”)?
ye ken: you know
fit like: quite hot
spot on: exactly
min: ???
But I don’t really see how they fit together.
It seems to me that “fit like” means “kinda correct”
Beats me to “min”, though
You’re almost there - “fit like” is an expression particularly unique to the north east of Scotland, and it’s super versatile. On it’s own, it’ll mean “what’s happening” or “how’s it going?” - then it can be used in various contexts like “fit like i day” as in “how are you today?”, or in this case “you ken fit like”, “you know how it is” or “you know the score”.
“Maybes naw” is pretty much spot on though, unless used in the context “maybes aye, maybes naw” where it’s less of an unsure expression, and more of a deliberate evasion of the question.
e: “min” is just a local substitute for “man”, as in “hey man” (“alright min”) or “nice job, man” (“quality, min”)
Do Scottish people use “fit” like that? I know it’s used in England, particularly the north, but I don’t think I’ve seen it from Scotland. Probably says more about how much exposure I’ve had to Scottish culture though.
Yes and no - it can be used to express someone finding another attractive, but in certain parts (particularly the NE) it’s more of a nuanced “what”, with it’s specific meaning depending on context.
Language is wild.
she’s banging
“coming from you 👸🏼”
Can someone explain why anyone would reply like that? I am not a native English speaker. I could understand “coming [to answer the door] for you, queen” but not anything “from you”.
Looks like you’re getting a lot of interpretations. I’d have thought it was more like: “Because you’re a lesbian and have particular appreciation for female attractiveness, your comment has made me feel like a princess!”
It’s short for something along the lines of „that statement means a lot coming from you, as you are also very attractive“
Not quite: it means “yeah, but you’re a girl so you would say that to be my friend”. Source: I’m terminally Glaswegian
excellent or impressive. “a beautiful celebrity with a banging bod”
Scran is slang used to describe food,leftovers etc
So I might say m8. For an example that’s some banging scran you made m8
I am not a native speaker. Prolonged exposure to the demoman from TF2 meant that I could understand all of this on first try. I am proud.
Is there a Duolingo for this particular language?
