i think the way scottish people type with their accent (sometimes, not all the time) reminded him of how his accent used to sound, i imagine a lot of actors go through coaching to tone down their accents or speak more "posh" rather than with the really thick dialects.

That accent got dick that's why

he's fae the drum whit do yea expect

Glad he still has his accent, unlike Gerard Butler.

Happens to all scots if they've been away a while but listen to or read scottish. My fella has been away from glasgow for 8 years now and has a mild accent. By end of day 1 back in scotland, and he's full back, or if we've binge watched Chewin the fat/still game

You'd be surprised

Yorkshire accent is just as bad.

Listening to Limmy or Kevin Bridges is probably even harder. Their accents are THICC

@@vape9546 I'm sure that's harder. But since English is not my first language, a Glaswegian accent is basically hard for me to understand. I know if I heard other thicker accents and dialects, I'd have a seriously hard time even trying to figure out what they're saying!

He only says that when it's all words in english

Fairy liquid is a well known washing up liquid (soap for washing plates) in the UK. I think that's the only time he said it that some may not have understood if they have never heard of fairy liquid before.

@@annag8678 Okay thank you lol cause he said fairy liquid and smelling like a plate and I was LOST but I guess it is straightforward if you know what fairy liquid is lol

Katherine K we have it here in Australia as well but then a lot of UK stuff is sold out here . It’s a dishwashing detergent . So what the young scot guy said was my mum ( maw) bought him some shower gel from aldi ( supermarket ) and it smelled like dishwashing soap so he went about his day smelling like a plate !

Katherine K I guess if you are American and he said is mom got some Dawn then it would make sense that he said he smellled like a plate. Fairy liquid = dish detergent I believe. I didn’t understand it either though. Lol.

its terrible that throughout the entire vid i was like wheres the one where he talks about smellin like a plate???

I was struggling

Same! 😂

yeee maen almost nothin has the same humour factor as Scottish humour...

i can do that

Blip blop blip blop blip

Aye but Scottish slang isn’t a different language it’s just no one understands it

Yeah you're pretty right

Not really compared to some glaswegians James’s accent is pretty tame my mum can understand the as can I but my Da no chance !

Michelle Flood Oh so is Glasgow a region of Scotland famous for heavy accents?

Michelle Flood I’ve been watching that show “Outlander” and I am a proper Scottish-phile now haha

@@autocensored This sounds exactly like something I'd do, haha

In his original Scottish accent

Thats just his normal accent when he was reading. He has to sound proper when on tv so people can understand him

It sounded like he was even trying to make himself sound more clear. Like when he was saying he didn't want to go camping with Bear Grylls, it sounded like he was starting to say "I dinna want.." and then changed it to "I don't want to.." to sound more clear

that is fascinating

Literally everyone has an accent

Who doesn't have an accent lmao

firstname lastname to me looks more salt and pepper meaning he still has some of his dark brown but a few silver strands through it and yes I agree !!

Lmao right? It looks good

And that is the reason Americans lack general knowledge.

not every Scottish person rolls the 'r'. I certainty dont and from his area and the way he speaks i doubt he does either without trying to take the piss. You don't ken much about Scots, dae yae lass?

I think you have to roll the R in every word only in Icelandic? maybe not..

@@khaleesiii4542 I dont think they do that either. If they did, thats all you would here when an Irish person spoke. We don't roll our "r's" every time we say one and im not entirely sure where people got that from.

@@khaleesiii4542 i apologise, i quickly read this and thought you had said "Irish" due to the fact i had mentioned us Scots. My mistake pal.

This gives us Scots so much room for mischief, which we exploit in good-natured fun.

@@janedoe-tz3zh Love it! This doesn't surprise me in the slightest as the Scots and Irish share such fundamental common traits. So many times I read 'Irishisms' and yell 'me too!!!''

Yes I feel he understated it with just ‘good’ like it’s deadset the sound you make when sometime’s so good it’s got you struggling for words and you only manage a half grunt of marvelled appreciation.

Many scotish expressions come from german language

Yes, also part of the archaic English language, probably the Germanic portion. For example "outside of your ken" would be outside your understanding. Not common, but wouldn't have to think twice about the meaning.

Oh yes...another example is 'cow' which the Scots pronounce 'coo'...hört sich an wie unser 'Kuh'. Mein Mann ist Schotte... *grins*

@@antianti328 pure winds me up

Scottish poets have been doing this for a long time. Try reading the original "Auld Lang Syne" and half of the words are incoherent to someone who doesn't know the dialect or Scots words.

They haven't always spoken English. They spoke Gaelic, at least the ones who were sent here to America in 1651-2 did and they kept speaking it into the 1800s sometime. They didn't mix with others any more than they had to

They’re writing in Scots. It’s not English 🙄 and it’s also not Gaelic.

Fairy liquid is indeed a dish soap. ''Fairy'' is the brand name which is kind of iconic in the UK, like Kleenex for instance.

@@83gemm I think I posted this story somewhere else on this video but once saw a shop window display in the Castro district in San Francisco that was basically just bottles of Fairy Liquid. I'm so used to the name of the brand that it took me a second to understand why they'd done it.

As a 30 year old from Australia I understand him and the tweets perfectly. It’s just about talking to people and watching a lot of tv shows from countries that aren’t America.
