    Ok so I'm watching Myrtle Manor (I know it's trailer trash but I can't help it, n I was at Myrtle beach over the summer!) n they're talking about going 'shagging'. Now I'm assuming its a dance but it has a totally different meaning over here!!!

    My favorite saying is "fill your boots, man."

    I was in Aberdeen and well-wasted. Me and a friend got a taxi and I said the most Scottish thing I knew: Aye, for f*** sake. The taxi driver made the mistake of telling me that my accent was pretty good. For the rest of the ride, my friend and I just kept saying that phrase to each other. To this day, when I've been drinking it just comes out.

    I love those phrases, the second I do say quite a bit, if I'm honest!!!
