Thank you - and I suggest that "bird*" is a girl and a "hairy willie" is a bloke with a beard? >>> A Glaswegian expression - what is the meaning of this. >>> [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Thank you - and I suggest that "bird*" is a girl and a "hairy willie" > is a bloke with a beard?

Yes, with a missing question mark, I believe? I think that the above mentioned sentence, is "is it a marrow that has fallen from the barrow, Clara?" Am I right? I am writing an essay of English-Scottish stereotypes in English, but this doesn't mean that I understand it all. I recognize it from Stanley Baxter and his Parliamo Glagow (which I don't understand either - shouldn't it be Parliamo Glaswegian? - in my understanding Parliamo Glasgow = let's talk Glasgow, just as "Let's talk London" and this you cannot say in English or what?) |
