"Being a lesbian sucks sometimes. You tell another girl she's a hottie, and she says, "thanks" like we're being friendly. I ain't just being friendly, I'm trying to fuck!"

I think I translated it correctly.

Thanks for translating. As a non native English speaker I nearly got a stroke trying to understand these.... words.

To assist:

  • Lesbo: short for lesbian
  • Pish: an expression of frustration
  • Bangin': hot
  • nd: and
  • ye: you
  • am no: I'm not
  • tae: to
  • yer: your
  • pal: friend
  • shag: have sex with

I got all of that except "shag ye x," because it sounds like "shag (fuck) you x," where "x" is the subject that is a bit vague. Like, "I'm trying to shag you, love?" or "Fuck your ex," as in, the last person you broke up with?

"x" is a kiss, used as an informal "yours truly" in British English digital correspondence

Wait, I thought 'x' was hug and 'o' was kiss. Have I been wrong all these years??

X is kiss, O is hug (at least, in the UK it is)

that is also how it's always been explained to me

I could be wrong, but I thought the x at the end was just a cutesy sign-off. Like "xoxo" type of thing.

Pretty sure it's the x in "xoxo", the old convention for hugs and kisses.

As a native English speaker I nearly got a stroke trying to figure out what it said

I had to imagine Karen Gillan saying it

Mine was Fern Brady!

Ah, ye daft bot! Could've at least tossed a wee upvote me way for the comment, aye?

Should watch still game. You'll end up with a brain aneurysm trying understand the Scottish pensioner's

The Scottish pensioner is what?

it's not a contraction, it's possession.

the Scottish pensioner's [dialogue]

where the last word is omitted for brevity

I never knew you can just omit such key words.

I unabashedly used subs and thoroughly enjoyed the entire series. Top ten comedies in my book and I am olde.

Personally father ted takes the cake in my books I've still got father Jack Hacketts wise words ingrained into my head

  • drink feck arse girls

.such words of poetry such words of expression these words are moving pieces of poetry

Isn't "coming from you" a put down? Or does it more mean "you care about fashion and looks, so obviously you know"?

It’s an amplifier. “You’re hot” makes it mean “someone as hot as you thinks I’m hot? Damn”, “you smell terrible” makes it mean “how the fuck do you of all people even notice my small with that rank odor”

“You’re hot”

Reminds me of that one scene in arcane

You're hot, cupcake

Can't wait for a second season. That shit was too good!

It's ambiguous, but the 👸 emoji solidifies it as a positive comment.

...And she says, "thanks" knowing I'm a lesbian and appreciate female beauty sexually taking the complement more intensely. I ain't just being....

ITIFTFY?

I think gays and straights have the same problem, though.

Where i come from a shag is a party

where i come from it's a carpet

or just particularly thick pubes

That's how I read it too.

Also, this is how a girl politely turns you down. I take heart that lesbians are in the same boat as hetero guys when it comes to this struggle. I read this and think "oh, girls are bad at this too!"
