Fairy cakes
-
Remember in the song English Tea, Paul sings about fairy cakes? Well, my friend spotted a box in the back of someone's car, on the ledge below the window, and she just had to take a picture! Will get her to send it to me and post later. What are they, anyway? Cinnamon rolls or something? OMG, AHDN hotel had the BEST cinnamon rolls on their breakfast buffet! I ate 3 one morning!

http://effingpot.com/chapters/slang/The Americans are the ones who have different names and pronunciations surely! That list is only the English words used by the English. In Scotland we use most of them then we have a lot more. Especially swear words and works to describe being drunk. Which I had better not post here. Pity as some are great. Here are a couple I can post. Stooshie an argument or fight. Stoor meaning dust Stookie the plaster cast put on a broken arm Sasanach originally a derogatory term for a lowlander but now used to describe someone from England. And finally one of my favourites bawhair- A unit of measurement for the thickness of a pubic hair. There is a much bigger list here. https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix:Glossary_of_Scottish_slang_and_jargon

My deepest apologies darrel, of course, you are 100% correct!! We Americans have taken the beautiful English language and have twisted it and changed the spellings and pronunciations to turn it into a very different version of the original... I have been trying to learn the original version for years now....Thank you so much for posting the glossary of Scottish slang.
. My folks originate from Scotland and I hope to visit there some day!! It's such a beautiful country...I need to start studying now!! See ye efter! -

On the show Outlander, Jamie calls Claire "Sasanach" all the time!

Americans didn't invent English, pizza, sandwiches, invasions or French fries, but we perfected them.

Yeah but the scottish took the pizza and deep fried it. You can also get it dipped in batter befote its fried. Not sure if you have Mars bars in America if you dont its a type of chocolate bar, we dip them in batter and deep fry those as well. Even Elvis would have thought that was going too far.

I think maybe the contents of our Mars bars are different than yours. http://www.marschocolate.com.au/products/mars/mars-bar-36g/

The link I posted was from Australia. I need to find a U.S. link. I swear ours are different than yours. Yes, read here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_(chocolate_bar)

"Fairy Cakes Folklore"--a retro Donovan type title for Paul's new album? Maybe not. Reminds me how about some folk-rock and country rock on it. Folk pop. No hip hop

Americans know a thing or two about deep fried foods. Go to any state fair in the Midwest and you'll find things deep fried on a stick that were never meant to be deep fried or served on a stick. We have deep fried twinkies, deep fried candy bars, deep fried cookies. We have deep fried butter. That tells you all you need to know. British Mars bars are like American Milky Way bars. American Mars bars are like American Snickers, which are like British Mars almond.
