Och? Och? Ooooh, you are so going to pay when Sam sees that one...

Only if the ch is unaspirated.

I grew up 'mongst ochers of the Teuchter (choochter) variety so my own ochs are of a different kind all together. See, an islander or Highlander is more likely to say "Och! There's no whiskey left!" whereas a lowlander, influenced more by Old Scots than by Gaelic, will say "There's no whiskey left! Och!".

See the difference there?

Someone from the seedier end of Glasgow, of course, will say "There's no oching whiskey left!" (With or without headbutt)

am i the only one who can the see the potential for a class action law suit here? If we can get enough incoherent Glaswegians to pass through those stores long enough to be offended at the racial stereotyping/discrimination on display we could own that oching chain by hogmanay!

Sweet baby jesus on a moose. Don't tell me the bit of Carolina you live in looks like that? It looks worse than Heston services. Also, that is one ugly looking car.

Just passing through, Rob - just passing through. You don't dare touch the brake in a Scotchman neighbourhood...

You mean ... someone would rob a place like that ? (Please excuse the word "place" for that hole!)

Gee, and here I was thinking "Wow, that's so much nicer than where I live."
