Something to lighten the mood

[Cal Weldon]

I know that Tramadole is "childs play"

I should have read further before posting.

Okay back to lightening.

Irony:
The opposite of wrinkly.

Being vegetarian is a missed steak.

No matter how much of a let down the rest of my body is, I can always count on my fingers.

 

[Galu]

So can I!

Truck load of FUD heading somewhere...

 

[Cal Weldon]

Galu, I see your six and raise you one.

The term "fud" is used as Scottish slang for referring to someone as a foolish person.

 

[Cal Weldon]

Okay let's put those letters to use. I'm sure one of you is clever enough for that.

 

[Cal Weldon]

As for the regular FUD, it seems enough of us carry it on our backs. No need to transport it any quicker is there?

My neighbour called to say I was part of the fun in her life.

That picture may be more about the quantity.

The term "fud" is used as Scottish slang for referring to someone as a foolish person.

But you know what it means on this forum.

Surely it means a scottish person is talking about 'food'?

 

[Galu]

No Bill, but it is something you might eat!

P.S. I'd love to hear your impression of a Scottish accent!

 

[billshurv]

I channel Ewan McGregor in those awful co-op ads where the strapline was 'good with food' but came out 'gud with fud'.

Everything else I know about north of the border I learned from Rab C Nesbitt

 

[Galu]

Over the course of his twenty-odd years in film, Ewan McGregor has successfully masked his native Scottish brogue.

His accent is now what I would call "posh"!

I can't find the Co-op ad to which you refer, but listen to him with "bools in his mooth" in this one:

(To have a bool in one's mouth: To speak with a supposedly affected, over-refined accent.)

I wonder if the character named Elmer in Bugs Bunny show has his origin in Scotland...

Surely

That would be Elmer J. Fudd, with two ds!

 

[wg_ski]

That doesn’t mean that it originally didn’t have one D. Haven’t you ever seen the episode(s) where he was wearing a kilt? “Your slip is showing!” was one of my favorite Bugs Bunny—isms of all time, right up behind the “fricaseeing rabbit” exchange with Daffy.

But seeing the foolish things Elmer does, I would believe the character having ties to Scottish slang, with a slight twist in spelling. 💡
