I know what it is but don’t like it. Think it’s a horrible sounding word for what it refers to tbh.

Will regularly say “what we doing for scran” or “are we getting scran when we’re out or should i eat first” mainly because i’m scared of losing my mancness

a) my department is just me so I’d be talking to myself and b) I don’t go anywhere for lunch I eat it sat at the shop desk but I’m going to do this anyway.

Also thought it was Scottish due to the person I first heard using it having lived in Scotland for a while. Turns out scran’s everywhere! It’s all over the place!

Mrs f will use it if she wants to flex her roots a bit. I never use it, preferring the more normal word repast.
