If, as Freddie Mercury claimed
 

If, as Freddie Mercury claimed, fat bottomed girls make the rocking
world go round, isn't it about time that the city of Glasgow received
some recognition for its contribution to astrophysics?

wait wut

When's the last time you saw a Glasgow woman making the rockin' world go 'round?

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooosh

I'm guessing you're from edinborough/aberdeen.

Nope, I'm from Glasgow, born and bred!!
Self deprecation is an art form here. :laughing:

I went to Glasgow for a day when I was living in Wales and I noticed a lot of what I would consider in North America to be hipsters. It seemed like everyone was in this semi formal/ casual dress that included a suit jacket, blue jeans, and either a nice button up shirt or "retro" shirt. I felt scruffy with my torn blue jeans and weathered leather jacket. However I gotta say that the people in Glasgow were far nicer than the people in Edinburgh, also their accent was a little bit clearer. Plenty of fit girls too, however Edinburgh had it's fair share.

The difference here is fat bottomed girls and obese bottomed girls. Also do you trust freddy mercury of all people to sing about women?

Having been to the states I would have to say that your definition of fat is probably slightly different to ours, although we're getting there. :yikes:

I'm sure that after living with a woman for most of his adult life Freddie would be only too aware of a womans butt. ;)
Anyhoo isn't the song prompted by a childhood nannie who was, how shall we put it, rotund in the posterior region?

I live in the UK.

I would nominate Puerto Rico instead.

oops!!:o:

I am certainly not opposed to a lil' junk in the trunk.

Me neither but I've always hated the choice of words in that phrase though. Sounds like someone walking around with a dump in their pants.

Ahem....I am not opposed to a lil' funk in the trunk.

Not to be confused with Chuck D's famous words:
"My 98' boomin' with the trunk of funk. All the jealous punks can't stop the dunk"

That's not really any better. Now it sounds like you're saying her ass smells.

I was thinking more along the lines of a Bootsy Collins bass line.

As my friend used to say while trying to pick up fat girls:

"Girl your butt is bangin'........into EVERYTHING!"

It didn't whoosh.
I meant my comment in terms of national visibility.

Could just be my own visibility though.
I can't argue that.

I was not aware Glasgow was a heavy with the "bootay". When did the memo go out?

Bump.....that rump.

I can almost hear you mispronounce that.

Doesn't change the fact that he lived with a woman for half of his life though.
And who said Glaswegians are easier to understand than the people of Edinburgh? :confused:

yeah, and where was i when this went out?

All that Haggis must go straight to the backside.

Why are females from Glasgow fat?!

I've never heard that stereotype before

Is it due to comfort eating because of where they live?

I have no qualms with a robust rump and the song is excellent, hard not to clap when you here the guitar ramp up at the begining.

At least we spell humor and color correctly.

*sticks American finger down American throat in remorse*

How, when we've been spelling those words correctly for centuries?
Comparatively, your nation is still in it's diapers.
Come back when you've learnt to spell correctly, or when you get a culture.
Whatever comes first.

This is off topic, but I have to say David I'm cool with all the differences in spelling and usage between British and American English with the exception of the word "whilst". It just gets under my skin when I read it.

We have a Declaration of Independence, does that count for anything?

No.

I don't have a problem with it either.

:pssst: I only pretend I do whilst winding up the odd Yank.

Yes of course it does it does: It was written mostly by British folk.:wave:
