This isn't even Scottish. It's specifically Glaswegian - which is fantastic.

I feel like Scotland is the place I need to be.
MaybeItsNotMaybelline
Had to read some of these aloud just to understand them. Didn't know typing words phonetically was a thing Scots did
SterlingMaloryArcherr
Jamaicans do it too
ChickWithAnAttitude
Do Scots type everything like they are drunk all the time?
Pekwachnamaykoskwaskwaypinwanik

GregKeen
Everything here should be universally understandable. Except Phil and Holly. UK tv types who presented hungover after an awards ceremony.
SterlingValor
What's specky and why should they be bullied.
GregKeen
Specky. Spectacled. Wearing glasses.
smogswallowssuns
Thanks mate, had a good giggle after I got the joke.
sendmeyournoodsplease
What?
TypicalITGuy
"Arsed caked in shite" - lost it.
Pengarr
I love, too, that his phone (I'm assuming) autocorrected "arse" to "arsed."
reflectedsoundofundergroundspirits
Rally ho!
wildsoapbox
Are these from the trainspotting sequel?
justyouraverageaussiegirl
I still remember the day I learnt what a jobby was
jamlovingmonster
'Jobby" is a lovely word. Ya wee Jobby ;)
justyouraverageaussiegirl
I know two brothers and they called each other big jobby and wee jobby & it took me forever to figure it out
reflectedsoundofundergroundspirits
I'm guessing specky is short for either spectacular or special (sarcastic in context). Can anyone confirm?
pasteurised
It's means wears glasses, spectacles.
reflectedsoundofundergroundspirits
I was off the mark. Thanks for the info, though. Cheers.
zma123456
Ya fuckin weapon ya mongo.
WisdomPlaytime
How could a dad think that snowboards are anything like fanny pads?
WoahDomino
'ya mongo' is now my new favorite thing to call someone.
ColonelColostomy
It actually means mongoloid, which is an old fashioned term for someone with Down's syndrome.
WoahDomino
Dammit. Well easy come easy go on that one
ninjamonkeywithtantohandsOLD
I want to use 'Ya fucking weapon' more often.
JoshCanJump
Weapon = Often described as 'offensive' and not to be out in public.
GhostsofMars
Yes!
ckviper
I'm preferential to the "mongo" comment, myself.
ninjamonkeywithtantohandsOLD
I liked that one too.
Quarantinous
But you have to use the accent
ninjamonkeywithtantohandsOLD
Of course, there's no other way you'd pull it off.
Statboy78
Pronounce it "yah foo-king wee-pun"
981Gts
Isnt scottish more like yae fookin way-pum
madkingryan80
"Ya fukin wepun"
Jirayya
Being from glasgow, these are the fucking best
Awhiteguy
Do you guys actually spell words like this?
Jirayya
Pretty much, grammar is for the English haha
jamlovingmonster
Not all the time. For jokes or just saying wee things. Nae bother. Bawbag, yer an arsehole. those are dailies :)
cutteroo
No we don't, but if they'd been written in proper English they wouldn't be funny!
rodgertheshrubber
Weirdest thing - without putting on an accent in my head I actually wouldn't have been able to understand any of these.
Statboy78
Tollbooth Willie (or Willir from the Simpsons) works good here.
TravisBickleHasIdeas
You should try reading train spotting.
rodgertheshrubber
I should! And I know I'll enjoy it too.
WisdomPlaytime
Even after finding the accent I had trouble understanding some. Surely they don't really write this way?! It's just English after all.
boshbishbash
Yes they do. It's just spelling everything phonetically.
CorvusBelli
Yes, we speak English, though with a range of accents. And no, most of us don't write this way except in pursuit of humour.
WhimsicalCalamari
Scots is different enough that there's a different Wikipedia for it. http://sco.wikipedia.org
getthismanabeer
At first I thought that was a troll site... damn.
