Correct and the word SCOTCH is applied to 'things or objects'... the most obvious being the Scots whisky or Irish whiskEy _(spelt with an 'e')._ Or as a word, to mean to 'scotch' a rumour, plan, or idea and put an end to it before it can develop any further.
Yeah calling us "Scotch" is about the only thing you could get under our skin with. Scottish or Scots is the norm. As a Glaswegian I've also had to tone my accent down after moving to Ireland just to save my wife from being my wife/interpreter.😂 I can't win though as when I'm back home visiting before my accent reverts back to its traditional brogue and realised I'm back in Glasgow. My modified toned down Irish softer Glaswegian tones make my relatives & friends think I've had a fawking stroke.😂
Derry based here, originally from Tyrone. Derry city and Glasgow dialects in particular share many aspects that I hear less elsewhere on this island. Such as saying "aye, naw a know" to acknowledge something someone else says during a conversation 😆
I'm London born and bred but I've never had a problem with the Glaswegin accent/slang? I thought it was all those years watching "Rab C. Nesbitt" and "Still Game" but thinking about it I enjoyed them from the get-go so I'm not sure it was a learning process 🤷♂
Basically the C word in the UK is a swear word, used in soft tones is friendly, in harder tones is aggressive, usually in a middle of an argument and or in drunk ramblings towards strangers. Either way its NOT as bad as the US is with puritan outrages. The Puritans were pushed out of the UK to the US and for that puritan foundation has stayed in the US and not the UK. Woke / Puritan mentality is the same.
This is how you joke about this subject. Obviously nobody would actually get emotional at that statement. It’s exaggerating for a laugh. It’s very tricky, you’ve gotta handle it well. Kevin clearly doesn’t mean any harm to trans people when he’s joking about the subject. And he’s clearly still focusing on the comedy, rather than sacrificing comedy for the sake of an angry tirade like some other “comedians” have fallen into the trap of. Kevin is very funny and I greatly respect him for that. Also, slight correction, Sam Smith prefers that/cunt pronouns. Not he/him.
I'm English, I went out with a Glaswegian girl for 7 years and everytime we visited her family in Glasgow I'd hear the 'C' word used more in a day than I would in a month in England. Even kids were using it and no one batted an eyelid. After a few days you just got used to it ! 🤣🤣
There's a great line in Gerry Cinnamon's song Diamonds In The Mud (which is about Glasgow) " and there's no other place where a c..t might not be a put down"
Having lived in England now for 30+ years I had to tone down my accent when I was younger so I could be understood now it's a very mild accent which makes it a lot easier when travelling.
Which is nonsense. Everybody is fair game with the right joke and intent. Plus Frankie sold his career to the establishment's silver a long time ago now.
@@Mantis_Toboggan_MD. The joke was aimed at Jordan who was pushing Harvey (I actually know his name) in to the spotlight for her own career and due to this he received a lot of abuse, the point being the joke would of not been made if Jordan wasn't abusing her son for her own gain.
@@c_n_b The joke was aimed at the whole situation, it is punching up because Maddie's parents were personal friends of David Cameron and the Met had spent and still spends millions on a cold case, the point being if it had been a little black girl from Peckham it would of got a few lines in a newspaper and then forgotten about and before you think that's being woke it actually happened, a black girl the same age went missing at the same time and it was forgotten about in days
In most of central Scotland at least, the C-word is usually not an insult, but in fact just a reference to someone. 'Everyc++t' means everyone, 'good c+++' means good guy, and so on. This has spread because I noticed some Cockneys doing the same. But we were doing this decades ago.
Yes. Australians are likely to say "Ah your not a bas c-word" once they get to know you..🇦🇺 Americans act like such puritans yet will shoot you at a blink...
I don't know why the c word is such a big problem. Where I am from New Zealand it can even be a good thing. To be called a good c .. isn't bad. Maybe USA is just to easily offended.
love this kind of comedy .. people mocking the woke nonsense. contrast that with the sellouts on the BBC etc who are 100% on board. they would be screaming at Kevin Bridges for poking fun like this. i knew several Glaswegians during my time in the RAF .. one was what i would imagine them to be - liked a drink, swore etc a regular bloke. the other came from a posh suburb was drank wine, read 19th century Russian poetry etc *** in the Armed Forces*** . both were into photography by some coincidence. i think the poetry reader went on to do it for a living. i never visited Glasgow myself, a regret .
I’m from Surrey south of England but my wife is Glasgow Scottish/Belfast Irish and they are the funniest fuckers ever my best friends are from Manchester with Irish blood …these people are just funnier❤
My grandparents came out from Glasgow to NZ as a young married couple … I’m 77 now, but I remember her accent well , and I always understood her… my friends didn’t… they would ask why she called me “ hen”…….. I always laughed at her calling the police , the Pole-ice… My sister and I once watched a Billy Connelly show on tv when he lampooned all the Scottish phrases… we rolled about on the floor laughing … because we’d heard them growing up … Billy was hysterical!
King Boomer, what can I say mate I have been watching your vids for over a year now and I watch them mostly when my boss has pissed me off. Mr Williams you are the word we can’t say on you tube but it sounds very much like can’t !. and I need a reset to be my happy self, and seeing an American who gets so much joy out of our British humor and gets the irony and sarcasm is just brilliant, thanks so much, you really do make my day better, Cheers King Boomer I will raise a glass of warm beer to you
Same here (vis-à-vis ticket prices). They kid you they have £80 tickets, then by the time you've gone through the process with booking fees etc. etc. it's more like £200! If it's gonna cost me £200 just tell me, don't blow smoke up my butt and waste my time. Ironically the MLB London games are the biggest rip-off!
I mean absolutely no offense when asking this, but you don't look old enough to be a boomer. Im a gen xer, and compared to me,(im 56), you look like a baby, (i mean that in a good way)
The C word is almost a term of endearment it’s been watered down by the Scottish using in every day use. Said before that swearing is a sport in Scotland
Scottish bucs fan here and your right really expensive for the nose bleed seats and not even the common courtesy of a reach around while getting pumped out of my money what a world lol 😂
At the risk of this not being understood by some, the Army has what is sometimes described as a dark sense of humour, or gallows humour. This combined with the British culture particularly in comedy of self deprecation and taking the pi55 out of everyone as a term of endearment, makes for an interesting combination. So a few numbers from the past, as they say: 'Don't be shy. Your mother wasn't'. And one that was great, until it wasn't. I'll explain: 'What are you upset for? It's not as if you were abused by your Uncle', until a young recruit broke down sobbing and had to be led away somewhere quiet, as it turned out.....
"Scotch Irish" very specifically refers to the Scottish people who settled in Northern Ireland during the 17th century, a large number of whom went on to be US settlers. Even in NI and Scotland the term is dead. It still bounces around in the US but apparently the meaning has been very much lost.
@@rossshepherd9836 Scottish person right here. Shetland, specifically Like I said; it was a term in Northern Ireland, then America. I never stated it was a 'proper' term used by Scottish people. My point was just that lot of Americans use the terms Scotch-Irish and Scots-Irish to mean Scottish/Irish, unaware it's a term that refers to a very specific group of people.
I kind of refuse to watch this. Your still grasping the English accent and you miss alot. So Kevin who has a very strong Scottish and is truly a genius if you fully hear and get his angle. I really like ya Mr boomer and so chuffed for you and your misses and your new little bub. Honestly I love young families with kids. The bedrock of everything good in the world... but I can't watch you watch Kevin bridges. I still feel you miss stuff in peep show, even IT crowd now and inbetweeners prior... we as England have so much humour that you clearly love. Once you fully read the subtle digs. The underhand humour then this would be up your street... when Al Murray says stuff and i see an American not understand what he said its totally fine. But you then miss all the comedy they deliver. Personally I love American humour. The American office is legit genius. Probably my favourite comedy show. Its just next level... but I feel sorry that an American takes so much time to get the English stance on humour... I fully recommend Mickey flannagan as a cockney who drops the classic English guy... I love seeing you guys love peep show in particular. Mark is a classic English satirical character. I love your stuff mate. Try mickey as a stand up. Just Google our shops like tesco and sainsbury... which are big food shops...
I can’t believe that RU-vid would demonetise your video for Kevin saying the C word, they must be a bunch of C yoU Next TuesdayS for punishing you for what’s said on someone else’s videos 😂
I'm seeing KBs everywhere now, KB = King Boomer, Kevin Bridges, KeyBoard , KingsiZe Bed, erm... Kinky Beard shaven off...ok I'll stop! lol Nice to catch up with some Kevin, oh and what is said below Scotch is tape or drink, Scottish or ScotSSS are the fine people. Great stuff
