Scotland, a country that has been part of the UK for more than 300 years, is known for many things, such as deep-friend mars bars, whiskey, and numerous genius inventions that make our lives so much easier. But there's probably one thing you didn't know about Scottish people, it's their one of a kind sense of humor that started making waves across the internet, especially on twitter. Not only are their jokes crude and funny, but they are also written in the way they speak. Scots have the unique ability to make other laugh and make their thrive at the same time.

Remember having that conversation with a mate at work when we were commuting - wasp gets on at our station and ends up in London not knowing what the f**k happened!
Flip flops and thongs are interchangeable terms for the footwear in California.
I know it's supposed to be a joke but it reflects how many drivers think and that is weird. A car takes up much more space than a bike. A car is much more dangerous too. And don't tell me cyclists "don't follow the rules!" Never seen a driver going over the speed limit? Or parking where they shouldn't? Driving drunk?
Not funny at all. Cyclists in my part of the world have the right of way to take a full lane of traffic if there is no bike lane. Threatening them with injury or death is horrendous. Cyclists are at least helping the environment. F**k off to all of this evil.
Easy friend, no one is actually talking about hitting them, but where I live they insist on traveling with cars, but don't follow the same rules and then it is up to the drivers to avoid homicide.

Every time I go to run the dishwasher my husband insists on jumping in the shower and turns off the dishwasher. Then later I go to unload it and it isn't clean. Well it happens at least once a week anyway.
Can't stop laughing ....!! Wish you Scots would visit Australia more; I'd pay good money to see some of you in a comedy show! That put a big smile on my face to start the day thanks!
Ma..... ARGE. Marge Simpson. Mom? Goodness you nearly gave me a heart attack mom.

This is the first time I'm learning that unlike every other English speaker on Earth, Scottish people people write IN THEIR ACCENT. Like "wanty" instead of "want to" and "yersel" instead of "yourself." It's very strange. I'm now imagining if other people with regional accents wrote English to convey their spoken accents, like if working class Bostonians wrote "ay, whair'd ya pahk the cah?" And Queen Elizabeth wrote like, "Eim spaking to yehoh et what eh knaoh . . ."
Geth, many of these tweets, posts, and instant messages contain slang words, phrases, and terminology from "Scots" (not to be confused with Scots Gaelic). There is a huge debate within the linguistic community where Scots is a dialect or a language- I will not get into that here since I could probably right an entire dissertation on that.

Read a sci-fi story, the main character is the captain of a ship, in something similar to Star Trek's Federation. They passed a law that said you can speak in your native tongue, and no one can make you speak standard. The ship's engineer is Scottish, and the captain never knows what he is saying.
Always wanted to go to Scotland but I'll probably never be able to. I guess it's a good thing because I'm to damn old to learn a foreign language.
Not all Scottish accents are the same - some parts have softer accents that are much easier to understand for the non-Scottish ear.

I didn't understand half of these...but I read it in a Scottish accent so I crapped myself laughing anyway
It's funny imagining no-native English speakers trying tae read these and finding it hard. I like reading them in a Scottish accent.
Grew up in South West Scotland, Ayr. Accents can change dramatically within 10 miles. Wonderful.
English is my second language and I don't have an accent. But while I'm reading these posts, I feel like I am reading it with an accent and I loved it!!!
I’m half Scottish and most would call me funny (I say some because so many people hate me 😂)
