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!

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

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
