East v west

[Moulin Yarns]

We all know that weegies are weird, preferring salt and vinegar over salt and sauce.

I came across another one today, complete the nonsense verse "Skinny Malinky long-legs" what kind of feet did they have??

My weegie wife says one thing I say something else.

Big banana feet, of course :greengrin

You haven't thought it through.

It's not whether a banana is of use in Scotland or not. It's about living with them as feet and how that impacts any or all visits to the cinema.

How would you use the umbierellys if you had them attached to the bottom of your legs anyway?

Sent from my SM-A528B using TapatalkI just can't contemplate having bananas as feet when umbrellas are available. I feel the same way about any other fruit in this situation.

Whereas with an umbrella, I'd do handstands if it was raining, best use of resources available if that resource is available.

"No danger" is another one.

Pretty much means the opposite thing depending on which coast you are on.

[Sylar]

Umbrella must be a specifically Edinburgh thing - I was anything but West Coast (West Lothian) and it was banana there...

I’m with you, no danger is another form of saying no way, as in ‘no danger Hearts are worth watching’

Banana for me and Umbrella for the wife. We were brought up a few hundreds yards away from each other in east Edinburgh

Bairn seems do be used more through here and wean in Glasgow

[Speedy]

That's the only way I've heard it in Edinburgh?

Agreed. From my experience, in Edinburgh it means 'no chance'. West coast it means 'no bother' or 'no problem'.

Genuinely never heard of it meaning ‘no bother’…seems to be at total odds to the concept of avoiding danger which surely Nae Danger is a simple slang for!

Still who knows with with such things but are we saying in the west that someone saying ‘Nae danger am doin’ that’ is actually saying ‘ Yes, I’ll do that no problem’ ?!? How odd [emoji1787]

Scandinavian influence. Danish for child is barn.

I think you can find logic for either meaning:

No danger = "there's no danger of that happening" = no chance

No danger = "there's no danger to worry about" = no problem

That said, when I asked a west-coast friend about it he said it could have either meaning, so maybe they're just confused.

Weegies probably think Eastcoasters are quaint, having completely different words for problem and danger, like Eskimos having more than one word for snow. Weegies are so dumb.
