Toley 😂 that’s a word I’ve not heard for ages

Two Scots arguing, just watch a bit of Rad C Nesbit, so Scottish it came with subtitles.

The coal is a symbol of bringing warmth into the home, a sign you want them to have a year of warmth in the home

The whisky and coal…generally shortbread too are traditional gifts to take to someone’s house when you visit them after ‘the bells’ (when it turns from Hogmanay to New Years Day). They are symbolic, the whisky is hoping that they never go thirsty, the shortbread is hoping they never go hungry and the coal is hoping they don’t go cold. Part of the wishing a Happy New Year to others as well, is saying “Lang May yer lum reek” which translates as long may your chimney (lum) smoke (reek, also another word for smell). There are many traditions associated with New Year in Scotland and might be worth looking into…along with the traditions of Hallowe’en in Scotland and Ireland and maybe Burns night too (seeing as how he has a very famous Hallowe’en poem, Tam O Shanter and is famous for preserving the traditional New Year song of Auld Lang Syne).

Coal is brought at first footing - so the first visitor on New Year. Coal signifies good luck for the coming year.

To hear a Scots conversation done in a way to make it more intelligible to the rest of you there are a couple of very funny sitcoms you can check out. "Rab C. Nesbitt" was the tale of a deliberately idle Glaswegian alcoholic and family man and was pretty funny into the bargain - very funny at times. "Still Game" is the better of the two though, more consistently hilarious. It tells the stories of a group of pensioners living in a run down council estate in or around Glasgow. (BBC Scotland was based in Glasgow, coincidentally.) Typing this has made me realise that it must be almost a year since I last watched Still Game so I'm off to find an episode or two from one of the earlier series when it was at its peak.

The tradition as I learned it, and I could be wrong, was that on “Old Years Night” (Hogmanay) families would prepare for the new year by cleaning out the old to make way for the new! They would clean the house from top to bottom and bake shortbread, the “man of the house” would dust off his precious “New year bottle” usually Whisky ( most likely kept from previous events) and the huge coal fire would be stoked high. This was all for the “First Foot” a tall, dark , handsome man, carrying a lump of coal, the man (stranger or not) would then be welcomed after the “bells” at midnight on 1st January. Hence the term “First Foot “. He would be offered the hospitality of the house. In return he would bring “luck” with him in the form of a lump of coal, the host would then throw the coal on the fire, which was supposed to ensure that the home had plenty for the next year, then they would toast their health and wealth. That’s where the saying “Lang May yer lum reek” comes from it was a toast at New Year! Roughly translates to something like… “may there always be smoke (reek) coming from your chimney (lum). Hope it gives you a wee bit of reasoning behind the folklore! I love my country, true Scot and proud! Much love from Fife!❤️

The coal: it's a symbol from back when we had coal fires, it was basically to show you care about someone because you brought a piece of coal for them to put on the fire and keep them warm. We have a traditional Hogmanay toast as well, "Lang may yer lum reek!" - literally translated, it means, "Long may your chimney smoke!", i.e. may you never be without fuel for your fire, it's an expression of good wishes and symbolises a warm and thriving home.

You bring coal on Hogmany as a symbol that their house is never cold or without coal for the next year (goes back to days when everyone had a coal fire) Along with the expression Lang may yer lum reek...as in may your chimney (lum) smoke for a long time. The word reek can mean smoke or something really smelly and smoky, which is why Edinburgh is called Auld Reekie. It used to covered in a huge layer of smoke like most cities in days gone by.

​@@glyniswilliamson1912I'm from Ayrshire and I said 'ginger' in a cafe the other day and no one knew what I meant lol.

Those made me laugh as I use all of them apart from the fart one, I’ve never heard of that. We ‘first foot’ (first person in the house after ‘the bells’ at Hogmanay) with coal amongst other things to represent always having fuel for your fire 🥰🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I think a lot of people would tell you to look at pictures of Glasgow, I've never been myself but even my Scottish friends look down on Glasgow 😂

Ans rightfully so ! 🤣. The ‘wild west’ is mental. I’m from Edinburgh and we have good banter between the cities. We make fun of Glaswegians for being stupid and crazy and they make fun of us for being stuck up and boring. From a famous Scottish sitcom “you’ll have more fun at a Glasgow stabbing than you will at and Edinburgh wedding” 🤣🤣 and my dad told me years ago he used to say to Glaswegian when they started their ‘shite’ “aye well we all know the wise men come from the east” 🤣🤣

Did the shorts link and it couldn’t find it. I’m in the uk

Im in England a d i know most of these.

Happy belated Birthday to you 🎉🍰🎊🥂

Must say i've never heard all the slang. You are right, scotland is beautiful, especially if you travel up the west coast from Perth.. Travel past Inverness . Stoer, pronounced Stor, is beautiful, single track roads. Travel along Loch Ness admire the scenery 😊

Bonnie in Manchester is a polite way of saying you're on the heavy side, maybe consider a diet..

Hp brown sauce is good with mince and tatties

I'm from Sussex in the south of England, my best mate is from Glasgow (he lived down here for a while then moved back up there some time ago). I consider myself pretty good at the English language with all it's accents, slang and dialects but when I went up to Glasgow for his wedding a couple of years ago I have to admit.... Even I struggled. I've been elsewhere in Scotland a few times and had no trouble with the language but Glasgow is a whole different game.

It’s the Gaelic/Irish influence that’s throwing you off lol. All over the west coast of the UK you have it. Scousers and Bristolians have a Celtic twang to them too. If you catch two people from Edinburgh from the working classes speak you’ll be shocked at how different it sounds. I lived in Brighton for ten years and whenever my friends heard me speak to my brother they said they could understand about half of it but they were fascinated 🤣

@@Bridgercraft 🤣. Aye it’s not exactly the same. Irish is more melodic but Scottish always retains a certain abrupt harshness to it that comes from influences for extinct languages. Scotland is essentially the melting pot of languages still found in the UK. On the west coast we have remnants of Gaelic and so more Irish sounding on the east coast it’s archaic English with Brythonic (Welsh) language influence. The. In the far north add in some Scandic. They all still survive in Scotland in some form because we weren’t conquered by the Normans and romans.

​@@boxtradums0073yeah I get it. Language and the English language in particular is one of my passions so I'm wrpp versed in the origins of the melting pot that spews from our mouths daily 😂 BTW, Brighton is just along the coast from me, I'm in Eastbourne.

Happy birthday 🎉
