My new Scottish friend over at http://prayingforoneday.wordpress.com/ turned me on to the coolest thing ever. An English to Scottish slang translation website! How freekin’ cool is that?
So I am going to take a little break from posting all my tweets to have a little fun. Please feel free to join in and give me suggestions of things to translate into Scottish.
Here is what I have come up with so far:
————————————————
Get on with your bad self – Git oan wi’ yer ill sel
Word to your mother – Word tae yer mither
Bust a move – Bust a shift
Get out of my face – Git oot o’ mah coupon
Don’t give me any of your lip – Dinnae gimme ony o` yer lip
What are you looking at? – Whit urr ye keekin at?
I’m a little pissed off – A’m a bawherr pissed aff
Kiss my ass – Winch mah bahookie
Drop dead – Drap deid
Dick Cheney is a big, fat blowhard – Boaby Cheney is a muckle, pie-eater blowhard
And Bush was a dumbass – ‘n’ Bush wis a dafty
Shut your pie hole -Shut yer bridie nook
Don’t let the door hit you where the good lord split you – Dinnae let th’ door skelp ye whaur th’ guid laird split ye
I got drunk at Hooters – Ah git blootert at hooters… (say that five times fast)…
————————————————-
And it turns out that the Scottish translation for ‘Beam me up, Scotty’ is ‘Beam me up, Scotty’… so we are learning stuff now. Maybe tomorrow I will try typing is song titles or lyrics… or famous quotes from American history…
If you think of any good ideas for this, let me know.
Pouring My Art Out 
When I try and say those it makes me sound drunk. I think I just figured out how the Scottish dialect came about. 🙂
HA!!!!!
I fell off my chair laughing, can you or somebody else please help me up from the floor now?
I’ve fallen, and I can’t get up? You need one of those button things.
Button, button, who’s got the button?
Careful now.
No wonder they want independence
Well who doesn’t?

ken means understand, right? Or are we talking about a person?
Ken = I know
You were 90% right 🙂
I meant ‘I understand’ like ‘I know’… so 99%…
Yeah I will give you 100% on that actually,

How about from a bit of history? The English are coming.
oooh… good idea…

How about bits of dialog from famous movie scenes?
“Nae, lass, we will a’ways hae Paris.”
Dude… awesome…
Okay seriously, I’m having issues with myself about how awesome this is.
I am enjoying this too.
This is pure genius! !!
I can’t even take credit.
