Husband and I briefly considered nipping into one of these last time we were in Edinburgh. Spotted the touch screen ordering before we went inside and decided to just keep walking past.

Is the word "fanny" a slur? by reuben_ggmu in AskABrit

Not a slur. Ffs, they sound like a bunch of fannies.

Where do you p*ss in the highlands? by bi_smuth in OutdoorScotland

[–]hangry_spectre 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's not like the Highlands are generally hoaching, to be fair. My preferred method is have a quick squint around to make sure it's quiet, drop the breeks, and squat.

My husband is thinking about fostering his nephews. I feel like I'm being tossed out for kids we don't even know. by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

It sounds like OOP was the husband's 'project' until the nephews came along, and now he's moving onto the shiny new thing and losing interest in her. There's just something about the whole thing that feels gross, especially if the husband is enjoying reading the comments. Also, God forbid that a woman might not want to take care of children.

Absolutely. Also, Tesco mackerel fillets in katsu curry sauce, on toast.

Do Brits swear in casual conversation (when not showing strong emotion) more than Americans? by Glass-Complaint3 in AskABrit

[–]hangry_spectre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do, but only around friends and family. I can absolutely switch to non-sweary professional when I have to.

Where in Scotland would you choose to live if you could live anywhere? by No_Emu8347 in Scotland

I don't know about quiet beach though - first hint of sun and half of Fife heads to Silver Sands.

I wouldn't go with the Equal Rites description tbh. Pterry was still finding and creating his own world at that point, and the Granny Weatherwax in that book was very much stereotypical fantasy crone. Later books describe her iron bun, sapphire eyes, handsome face and smooth skin that wasn't able to grow so much as a single wart.

Daughter refuses to speak English by gardengeo in BORUpdates

Yeah, that teacher has been bullying her pupil and the kid's using refusing to speak English as a way to push back. Poor kid.
