"I'm aye to get ma messages...." Where did the term messages come from?

Our ice cream van had * yes. Single cans of mcewans super lager. Even woman's emergency necessities, tampons etc. Also council soap bar hash. Tickets to illegal raves. And mitsubishes and flying saucers (but I was too young for them) He even done tick. Rave cassette tapes aswell...judgement day they were called

Now that's what we need in this day and age. Whit a community business for the good of the people that was

 

Yip, the Tally van was the same up in Glesga.

Definitelt tally being short for Italians/Ice Cream-.

 

* knows man, just remember that being one of ma old grannie's go to phrases to use against me.

Cannie mind exactly what it is, but a packet a * has connotations to *, sokething to do with cigarette sticks and yound laddies using like sticks (brushes etc) to do "woman's" duties (cleaning the hoose with a brush)

Here's one, "geez a snout aff ye" - geez a *

A lot is dependant on your location.

Auld language is different in Glasgow than it is in Edinburgh. I live right in between so I hear a lot of both

In Edinburgh they use a lot of romani words. I don't know why but they do....

Barry - Good
Shan - Bad
Gadje or Chavy - young man
Mort - a woman
Raj - going mental
Peeves - Drinks in a pub
Sheckles- money

There's more aswell. None would be heard in Glasgow. But it's auld language in Edinburgh

 

And "Whur dae ye bide?"

Where do you live?"

 

I still use the words; Scullery and Loaby

 

My Da was always saying " Ah wis runnin' aboot like a blue arsed fly"

 

My wife is from Govan, I'm an East End boy, born and bred. When we were first together, I'd say something that she'd never heard of. She used to say; "Is that an East End saying?" I always thought language was the same all over Glasgow.
A few years ago, we went to a funeral in Govan. We offered to give an old neighbour my wife knew a ride back to Govan Cross. I'd never met the woman before. After a few minutes, she asked me if I was an East Ender. When I said I was, she said she could tell my my accent. I didn't know I had an accent, well not in Glasgow
