Wow Moon! You learn fast!!!! 'S math sin!

Moon · 02-12-2008, 01:09 AM

LOL Brea! The pronunciation is even more unlogical than for English

What did you say? Something about... good?

Hi Moon! Glad to see you are fine.

I'm trying to stay warm here in frozen Minnesota.

Do you perform at Ceilidhs?

Brea · 02-12-2008, 04:18 PM

Sultan- I hold ceilidhs, I sing Scottish and Irish folk music. I know lots of pipers and drummers...but my ceilidhs are a lot more rowdy than the other ones I've seen, trying to keep with the true bawdy Scottish tradition.

Moon- 's math sin basically means "hurrah!" or "very good"...oddly the pronunciation sounds a lot like "Smashing!" There's some theory that's where the English got that term from.

Sultan:

Well, I am kind of a loose cannon with the Scots in Minnesota because I don't follow the traditions as they are 'supposed' to be followed...in a reverent way. I hold them like the Scots did, with the guys flashing each other in their kilts and screaming the lyrics to horrible old bawdy songs. It's a blast, I think, but makes me eminiently unpopular...still, I tell them that accuracy is a historian's first duty, and why not have your Scottish party as accurate as it can be?

Yikes --- sounds like I better withdraw my request for a video!

Brea · 02-13-2008, 04:17 PM

What was it that did it: the kilt flashing or the screaming?

Honestly, if people want to celebrate Scotland, that's the way to do it.

sultan · 02-13-2008, 10:01 PM

Definitely the thought of kilt flashing! { ugh ! }
