50 Posts Full Of Scottish Humor That Are Funnier Than A Seagull Stealing Your Chips (New Pics)
Language sometimes has a funny way of transcending cultures. What may be typical for native speakers in a particular country could come out comically bewildering to outsiders.
Scottish English is an excellent example, which you will see in full display in the following social media posts. We’ve gathered these screenshots from the Scottish People Twitter subreddit, where over 900,000 members showcase their unique brand of humor.
Enjoy the quick laughs, although some of these may confuse you. But that is, after all, part of the fun.

For those not in the know, that statue permanently has a traffic cone on his head. Every time it's removed, locals put another one up there.

This is always my favourite thing about England singing this about the men. The only people to have brought it home since 1966 was the women.

A Very Scottish Memorial
UKGrandad 1 year ago
Frankie Boyle was on the satirical news quiz, Mock the Week, a few days after Thatcher died. He said 'All the debate in Parliament about whether to give Thatcher a state funeral; I've got a better idea. Just give the job to the Scottish ex-miners. They'll happily dig a hole deep enough to hand her over to Satan in person.'

I play gigs and when the alcohol prices are sky high I can say it sucks. They'll pay you less because of it. It's funny because they wouldn't have sold that much to begin with if it wasn't for us there playing. But the cheap b*stards will f*ck ya regardless depending on how much they make.

Surely voting for war criminals to hold office and punishing people for being sick or disabled would be on the short list.

As an American, I am absolutely delighted that the Scottish vernacular gets "spoken" in text/posts online. I can absolutely hear it in my head and it's delightful. We have so little culture over here that we're sometimes desperate for a bit of it, even secondhand XD

I very much enjoy seeing things written as they sound for humorous effect. Unfortunately it seems only the Scots can get away with it.

In Scotland, it would be spelled "humour". These have to be read in an accent to make sense. For those who don't know, bairn and wain mean child. Nae is no or not, tae is to.

When I looked “wain” up, I found “chariot.” Well, at least now I understand the Alexa post after all. Midge Ure usta take me for dinner and/or drinks when he performed in Silicon Valley, and I’m pretty sure I never understood a thing he said. I did the same thing I do with any other foreigner trying to speak English in an extremely heavy accent: I’d watch his face and then mirror his expression: happy, angry, confused, silly, concerned, and so on. I did eventually, though, learn to say my “L”s like he did and made him laugh and he *seemed* to enjoy it, but of course for all I know, he called me several bad words. ☺️
