Scottish people appreciation thread.
 

I went on vacation in France and met tons of cool Scottish people. And now I love them. :love:

Help me love!

WAFT!

I can't understand a word they say :(

At a music camp I attended a few year back there was an exchange student from Scotland and I loved talking with him just to hear him talk. I have a weak spot for Scottish, Irish, Russian, Romanian, and (some) German accents.

^ German? Yech! That's the grossest language ever! But I agree with you on the first two.

^Thats why I put *some* because most the time they just sound angry. lol. But there have been a handful of guys that come into my work that are absolutely gorgeous and they have only like a hint of german accent. i like that.

^ Oh that could be sexy, just an accent is okay.

I think Germans sound angry, sexist, pedophilic, and flat-out-horny, even when just talking about shovels.

^lol, normally yes. They could be complimenting me and the tone would just make me cry.

^ My friends do imitations of German people sometimes. But they'll say stuff like: ''hey little girl, want to pet my stick, it's my best friend, he enjoys kisses''. And when they do it from the back, it really makes you jump. xD Though it sounds creepier in Dutch.

I can do a good Scottish accent...A Dutch friend of mine said it's spot-on..

I can do a good Scottish accent too, lol

"WE DON'T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING I JUST WANT TO CUDDLE"

What on earth could anyone find attractive in the Irish accent?

Wel if they dance and do the little tawt titi tata toto ting lol I'm sure women would find that sexy :]

Maybe only outstanders can here it. :laughing:

And also, which? There are about 3 distinctly different accents within 20 mins of where I live.

Where do you live? Its true that the accents vary a lot (same thing with the UK). One of my friends is from Galway and I've got her accent down to a tee, such that before I've answered her phone and talked for a few minutes before having to explain to the person at the other end that it actually wasn't her... which is particularly funny as I'm a guy with quite a deep normal speaking voice...

Anyway, when I repeat her accent to my friend Mark (who's parents are from Cork) he completely denies that I can do an Irish accent. So yeah, they're different enough that people who've only heard Cork and Dublin accents don't recognise Galway accents as being Irish. They sound American, apparently. I've been told that Belfast (and most Northern Irish ones) sound scottish by a lot of people too.

I live just south of Dublin, so I get the Posh Dublin accent, the not so posh Dublin accent, the Bogger country accent, and the notorious Bray accent. the hybrids get quite confusing..

I think that Scottish people are cool
