I recently went to a wedding in the Highlands, and let me tell you, standing outside in a kilt during a drizzle is a sport in itself. Between trying to look dignified and not flash anyone, I was more concerned about the layers of my heritage and the layers of clouds above me. Every time I turned, I could hear the sound of my friends snickering as I clutched my sporran like it was a life preserver, praying the rain wouldn’t turn my brave attempt at Scottish fashion into a soggy disaster.
You just know my poor aunt, who insists on every Scottish wedding being a traditional affair, would gladly send bad weather on anyone wearing jeans. The hilarity, though, happens when I spot the bride trying to lift her dress over puddles like she’s in some kind of dance-off with the weather gods, all while I’m over here contemplating how to salvage a potentially embarrassing moment with a cheeky grin and some whisky later. It’s a rough life, but hey, at least it makes for some memorable family stories!

Living in Scotland can truly be challenging…

Why didn’t she just say January again for June?
A
This guy is a programmer.
S
Can confirm that was my first thought.
A
If it’s stupid and it works, it’s not stupid. LGTM.

wise words to live by.

Fellow programmer, yep.
P
We”ll just mention it in the release notes
I
Lmfao, my engineering brain 100% thought this. 🤣
F
I was thinking the same lmao
R
Haha right?! Let’s all say out loud what we’re talking about since we all already know.
B
And in great detail I wanna see if anyone leaves anything out
B
I just want to see if you notice if anyone leaves anything out.
T
I just want to bitterly stumble into the conversation after everyone has already left and complain that someone has said something somewhere else already
O
This guy months.
C
Could be worse. Could be [trapped in a voice activated elevator.](https://youtu.be/HbDnxzrbxn4)
A
“Eleven!” “F r e e d o o m!”
L
SCOOOOTLAND!!!!
O

Let’s see her try Aaron earn an iron urn.
R

V
No dummy! It’s AAron EArned an IRon URn.
F
The dude who started [suddenly realizing how he sounds](https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/pg1kfe/aaron_earned_an_iron_urn_baltimore_accent/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) was classic!

Don’t forget the [purple burglar alarm](https://youtu.be/AC__o1UxDl8?si=MecIWodCBy6z-JKb)!
K
Omg I’m dying lololol
A
Limmy is great lol
W
if you’re going to post that, don’t forget about [Part 2](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tL7Oq9XSETI)
N
He’s proper chuffed with himself lol
S
So chuffed, as if the purple burglar alarm wasn’t the only part of the sentence that was remotely intelligible. And I work with a scot, so I’m pretty used to the accent.
M
I thought he was chuffed because he was banning the person that sent the bits, but the end of the video was just silence, so there’s no confirmation he did that.
L
I watched it twice and couldn’t understand a word.
S
and then I turned on auto subs and it just said *[foreign](https://imgur.com/a/OCkY8ng)*
D
Now you got me giggling all over again about the time I tried out Netflix. There would be actual subtitles on the content itself, but then Netflix would cover that up with [Speaking foreign language].
Y
[ELEVEN!!](https://www.youtube.com/results?sp=mAEA&search_query=elevator+11th+floor+scottish)
A
That’s right! Because steel is heavier than feathers!
D
But they’re both a kilogram……
S
I love that video so much. I laugh hard AF every time I see that. As a southerner [I can relate.](https://youtu.be/cn2GqO4DkFk?si=Kv6e0huU9lKqiw6e)
L
Fucking classic lol
A
*Nods confidently*

Saw a vid of some Baltimore dude trying it. Hilarious! [here](https://youtu.be/Esl_wOQDUeE?si=8fBJpUYe7bNPYme2)
U
God I hate this lol! I’m from Baltimore. Learned how to code switch when I was 12. This is one of the few things that trips me up. When my boyfriend learned I couldn’t pronounce library and syrup, the gloves were off. The funny part is I can understand Irish and Scottish people very well despite having never visited the countries.
U
My husband (from California) and I (from Maryland) were at the mall the other day and he asked if I wanted On Tee Anne’s. What the fuck? What’s that? You mean AnnieAnn? The pretzel place? My mind was just fucked over that one for way too long lmao.
D
I have no idea what that is, so I can’t tell if the other person or you were meant to be wrong in this story.
S
They were both wrong, which is the joke they were making. The correct name is Auntie Anne’s. The joke is that Californians pronounce Auntie like “On Tee” (wrong) and Marylanders pronounce Auntie like “Annie” (also wrong). (When I say “wrong”, I don’t actually mean wrong. Settle down, descriptivism warriors. I’m just explaining the joke)
