If you can find any of Stanley Baxter's Parliamo Glasgow shows on the net you will see what I mean. He made a series of shows taking the mickey out of Glesga speak. (English as spoken in Glasgow) Phrases such as "Erra perra ...... o'er err on ra flare" Translated as- There is a pair of .... over there on the floor. Sayings such as "Goin doon ra waater" Going down the water means a boat trip on the River Clyde. Many comedians also made fun of some of the phrases in common use such as what became known as the Common Giraffe. "Cum on get aff" Meaning:- Hurry up and get off (the bus)

I could go on but I am sure you get the drift ...... Good luck with your presentation
I'd forgotten all about Parliamo Glasgow. Thanks for the reminder.
