My friend's dad is from Scotland. He came to Canada and works as a dealer at a casino. One day, two obviously gay men sat at his table and one of them put down his pack of cigarettes. My friend's dad then unknowingly said "I'm sorry sir, but we don't allow fags at the table". Everyone learned a bit about regional dialects that day!

Here's another one that never happened for you. My brother got banned from RuneScape for typing "poof".

Ok it might have happened but ifnit did, that last line....the Scot absolutely knew.

Which is odd, usually "poofter" is the insult, depending on context.
