@Les02 Lol i have an aunt like that. She's lived here for 60 years but i still can't understand her if she talks fast.

@Les02 one of my best mates is scottish, and been here for years, I can still barely understand him when he talks fast.

@SW-User ha!..it's a tough one. I tell him it's time he stopped putting it on, he has been here long enough to drop the fake accent
SW-User
@Bushmanoz Yeah i think my aunt is like that. When she talks on the phone to relatives her accent gets even stronger. Also she expects her daughter to talk to her with the accent. I don't get that.

@SW-User lol how is that suppose to work? she has to learn an accent?
SW-User
@Bushmanoz It sounds weird as she was born here and has an aussie accent, but if she answers the phone and it's her mum, suddenly out comes the scottish accent or her mum will say, what? what? i can't understand you 😂

@SW-User lol och aye!
SW-User
@Bushmanoz Oh she calls you too then?

@SW-User lol Ive got Scottish blood, that's the extent of my vocabulary though
SW-User
@Bushmanoz Yeah me too, i have a few relatives over there. I talk to them online. Great people and have told me to come and visit anytime.

@SW-User LoL, do you just smile and nod your head speaks

@Bushmanoz or has a bit to drink 😆
SW-User
@Les02 I do just pretend, although my evil side is tempted to try and put on a Scottish accent and see if i can sound the same 🥴

@SW-User Lol, that reminds me of a night that I met two scrumptious Irish backpacker girls in a pub. I put on my what I thought was a stupid Irish accent, they grabbed and hugged me while kissing me on the cheeks and said how lovely it was to meet a lassie from home. I felt so bad I had to put it on all night, it was fuck’n exhausting but loads of fun was had by all 😆
SW-User
@Les02 Sounds awesome! Irish girls are hot, and their accents make me melt 🥴
Les02 · 26-30, F
@SW-User Agreed 😁
