There’s a couple of places in Manchester that bring them out like this too. Sure there’s some photos knocking around of me with one.

Read that “outwith” is supposedly a scottish word

  • I’m scottish and I use it
  • I’m scottish and I don’t use it
  • I’m not scottish and I use it
  • I’m not scottish and I don’t use it

The place on Liverpool road in the centre does. They’re almost the size of single bed sheets.

Yep that’s the one I used to go to after a night out. Loved it in there. Also, when I worked in insurance I went on a site inspection and the kitchen was beautiful, had been worried I’d see something horrific and have so much regret for all my drunken visits. Also, the flats above it are really cool!

It’s blowing my mind a bit that this is just a Scottish thing

Yeah it’s always fun to stumble across these things. Everyone knows the phrases that are obviously local to your area, but when you realise that a “normal” word (see: squint) is also region-specific it throws you a bit

I avoid it in formal writing for this reason.

But would you catch some southern Englander changing “draw” to “drawer” to make sure they’re understood in the same circumstances? I think we all know the answer to that.

i found a word like that a wee while ago that turned out no one on here had heard of it before

can’t remember what it was now, but it was just a totally normal word

what an interesting post this is

@JaguarPirate it might have been squint actually
