Gerard Butler Teaches You Scottish Slang | Vanity Fair

[xgracee.e]

As a Scottish person who hears and uses this vocabulary on a daily basis, it’s surprising how many people are interested in Scottish lmao.

I have a scottish science teacher, but i dont learn science, i learn how to speak scottish lol

My Mum and Dad went to Scotland years ago, and while walking through a small village Mum asked an elderly gentleman walking his two Scottish terriers (in a rather broad Aussie accent I might add) for directions to the post office. He stared at her for a moment then said “Aye, sorry lass, aye cannae unnerstan a whirr yae seeyin”. Somewhat flustered Mum said “oh, oh, I see, thank you.” And they both went their separate ways scratching their heads in puzzlement.
The thing that amazes me is that technically, they were both speaking the same language yet neither understood a word! 😂

Now I want to see James McAvoy and Gerald Butler having a Scottish slang competition.

[captaindorsett]

I love how he just laughs and enjoys it. Instead of being a teacher.

Scottish ppl are genuinely some of the friendliest, funniest bunch i've ever met. Knew how to have fun, take life easy, hold their liquor, and to make fun of themselves. Had such fond memories travelling across the country, such beautiful lochs and glens and absolutely crackin people who're always willing to help you ❤️ if you ever have the chance pls come and visit, it'll stay in your heart forever!

"In Scotland, people are sarcastic pretty much all of the time."
Sounds like my kinda shithole.

A friend of mine had Scottish parents. They visited my wife and daughter after my daughter was born at Naval Submarine Base, Groton. Her dad said "Aye, she's a wee bonnie lass." Makes me smile to this day and my daughter is 40.

I love how the Scottish is atleast two times louders then regular speaking voice, as it should be.

[fawn]

would love to have Gerard Butler screaming "GAUN YERSEL" as my ringtone and/or alarm clock every morning

[lisalabour]

It’s so cool to see how many people are interested in the way we speak, if your ever looking for a holiday destination consider Scotland we have plenty interesting things to do and we are very nice

Fun fact: There are more people that have watched this video then there are people in Scotland

[nataliyanabakova]

"One of our hundred thousand words for being drunk." LMAO

[yourgaycousin]

I dont know why I’m watching this.

1. I know all this
2. I’m Scottish
3. It’s 2 AM


Edit: Thanks for liking my comment....but why?

[Burningredroses]

If they ever make a live action Brave movie he should play the dad.

[GeneralGouda]

The Scottish were always badass. Some of the fiercest fighters/warriors around. If you’re Scottish, or have Scottish blood, cheers! 💪🏻👌🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Fun Fact: Gerry has been sober since his mid to late 20's. Probably the only Scot alive to be sober that long or at all, lol.

[lasbrujazz]

I always love hearing Scottish accent. It sounds unique.

[laurenk]

I’m officially moving to Scotland. Sounds like a wee bit of fun.

[CenturianCornelious]

I was in Scotland in '90. Spoke with a man there, couldn't understand a thing he said. There was a Welshman present. He laughed and said he could understand either.

[dlbstl]

I'm recommitting my love for Gerard Butler. Definitely down to earth and humble and adorable.
