  1. The one that drives my wife nuts is the factory direct advert with it’s sanitised doric-lite. Not sure if it’s even shown outside Grampian but it’s shite.

  2. The “Patter Hoose” Edinburgh Fringe venue. Both words make sense on their own but I’ve never heard anyone use them together that way. 

  3. My own personal favourite was the menus in Scran & Scallie in Edinburgh.

  4. Forces doric is absolutely horrific .

    There was a course in Aberdeen teaching English students doric and the cringe is unbelievable.

    I think unless it comes naturally and you are from the specific areas you shouldn’t attempt it , radio hosts are another one that force it with polished scot English accents , makes me want to vomit sometimes 

  5. BBC Scotland website are terrible for it on football match updates

  6. Literally any of the Scottish pokemon trainer memes. God I’m glad that’s over.

  7. They used OOT and then said OUT later in the sentence. Are they Scottish or no?

  8. I used to work in Angola and Nigeria. The NE lads and I regularly spoke Doric so the locals didn’t know what we were talking about if the topic was not for their lugs. Game changer for us. Saved buggering off to an office and stopping work.

  9. Ooh! Even more annoying one: whenever a Scottish politician does that performative ethnicity thing in Westminster.

  10. Has anyone ever said “feeling Gallus” and not instantly cringed.

  11. Des Clark. That twat of a BBC radio DJ they roll out every time they need a token Scot to appeal to under 40s.

    He was on an advert for the BBC Sounds app recently and called it BBC Soonds, and it just sounded forced as fuck.

  12. One thing that they do that is funny is at the ‘best before’ bit on the box it says “all other oats”…it gave me a mild chuckle.

  13. Almost anything that a middle class student has put on a protest sign in George Square e.g, ‘away and bile yer heid Trump ya mad fanny’ then they speak with a Fettes accent and it turns out their Dad owns 3 quarters of Sutherland.

    Unbearable levels of cringe.

  14. From my experience good gear does tend to come in the smaller baggies though, they got that right

  15. When Scottish politicians try to drop in a bit of patter it’s always cringe

  16. I’ve stood in front of the oats in Tesco for 5+ minutes before deciding whether this shite or Quaker’s “British Oats” are worse.

  17. >the worst examples of forced “Scottish” patter?

    Half the scottish population after having a couple of drinks. 

  18. I’m Edinburgh, so maybe it’s just another part of Scotland… but “guid gear comes in sma bulk” ??? Is that a phrase? I have literally never heard this

  19. That one guy on this sub who’s at it in every post me makes.

    Or, the American who wrote the Scot’s Wikipedia pages.
