Got my butt chewed twice

[auld argonian]

Ive been told I dont sound like an Aberdonian, which to be honest doesnt bother me that much

I dont think it would be apreciated if I tried to go shopping with a blue face and whacking great big sword for some reason I cant think why though.

Interesting to learn that Teufel Hunden has the name Samuel.
It was the name of my (French-speaking) Swiss great-great-grandfather.
None of my immediate relatives has that name, but since my closest family includes Afrikaans- and English-speakers, their pronunciation of it would vary.
My own name (Michael) is pronounced the English way, but a German ancestor of mine also had that name, which was of course pronounced quite differently.
Afrikaans has two or three variant forms of that name, too, but my Afrikaans-speaking schoolmates used to make quite a hash of trying to pronounce it the English way.
It has been easier down the years to shorten it.
Regards,
Mike

I have to admit, I was rather relieved to learn that the butt chewing described in this thread was not physical, I was very close to considering a chastity belt under my kilt until I opened the thread up.

I haven't gotten any criticism despite my kilt not being the best in terms of quality, in fact the words "Boss" and "You're the man" seem to be coming from people more often. I think if an old woman ever critisizes me I might just start speaking in absolute gibberish and start running in small circles.. Yeah that sounds like a plan
