Where do you teuchters get the ‘ra’ from when impersonating weegies? Replace it with ‘eh’ and you’d be much closer to getting it right.

The first time I saw that particular phonetic was decades ago when Malky the cartoonist had a Big Yin strip in the Hunday Liam.

The only time I’ve particularly heard it was when an FE colleague from Paisley (and a Saints’ fan rather than a gloryhunting twát) travelled to Helsinki on a “project evaluation” and one of the Finns asked me why he said ‘ra’ rather than use the traditional pronunciation of the definite article. “He’s a near-weedgie cûnt” was tempting as a response, but I desisted.

Fish split from Marillion, and the chicken went solo and opened its own chipper. Across the road, naturally.
