What language is this?
read it out loud
scots or scottish english maybe
Scottish people have the best way of talking. We need more Scottish speaking people in this world.
wtf is shat masel
I gotcha fam, I got this shit
“I was standing next to a goth at a crosswalk and they opened their umbrella and I literally shit myself thinking this person was turning into a bat.”
No cap I think that’s it
Defs no cap.
Shat is the past tense of the verb to shit, methinks
While technically correct, when it comes to translating slang things become more art than science.
The goal is to evoke the same feeling and imagery.
Like how I changed “Honestly” to “Literally”. Both are English but over here we don’t use “Honestly” like that so the word “Literally” was a better choice.
But literally literally means figuratively these days
And honestly honestly can mean figuratively as well
Words are weird yo
Definitions shifting and twisting over time is honestly so damn cool though, and common spellings falling out of favor for different ones is also pretty cool
The speed with which words change these days is dizzying, it’s honestly making my head literally spin
For us old fogeys, literally still means without metaphor, so someone who literally shit the bed actually soiled their bedsheets leaving a mess for maid service, as opposed to figuratively making a mess in an other situation.
Honest, honest Iago just looked like a reliable friend who tells the truth and intends no harm. Politicians are honest. My weather station, when properly calibrated, is truthful in that it reports accurate facts.
No cap on what?
The bat? I became lost some time ago.
No lie.
Capping as in teasing you with a fib, or commenting on how fat your mama is. Zoomer-Alpha slang.
Oh, well in that case, no cap…
Because my mama ate it all

English-like, not strictly English. The line is generally pretty blurry in the modern day
Why is that so fucking funny???
The original post is NOT Scots, please don’t spread misinformation more than internet people already have. Scots spelling looks way different than this. The post is just English with some of the words being spelled eye-dialecty.
Among other things, you can tell by the very English spelling of the words like “standing”, “light”, “thought”, which would be “staunin”, “licht”, and “thocht” in Scots. Reading the Scots Wikipedia page in Scots should make it obvious
Shat myself
Probably voice recognition. “Shat myself”
Punctuation would be nice too.
people purposely dont use punctuation to show tone
showing tone is pretty much the entire point of punctuation
I’s Bri’ish, ri’en foanettically, rye?
I don’t have any money just take the wallet!
The “a” makes me think Scottish.
This is definitely someone from around the Glasgow area
Mazel tov to you too!
It’s Scottish English. Don’t call a Scottish person English, they might take offence.
See dah’s wye aye sèh Bri’ish, i’s inkloosiv wen a mnoh shoah witch country i’s from
That is what we call a “significant faux pas” in the industry
Scottish is British, they didn’t call them English
Until the blighters start to demand independence like the Irish I’m gonna call them English and they can pound sand.
They’re part of Great Britain, but not part of England.
It’s OP’s friend. Shat Masel is always thinking the most outlandish things.
highlandish things
Dinnae fash yersel, it’s jist a wee blether.
“…and I honestly shat myself thinking…” Also “goth” can be a goth, emo, metal head, or other adjacent subculture… I’m not really sure what the deal with goths in Scotland is.
Living in perpetual rain fog and twilight does that with you
You have to read it with an Irish accent to understand the post.
Scottish works better, no?
Probably, but I can’t do a good enough one in my head.
I just default to Fat Bastard.
Ohh, that worked.
Nice, I helped!
Did you know that Random Task, the guy who throws the shoe, is in prison probably for life for torture, sexual assault, and murder? If not, here’s an unfun fact!
That escalated from accents quickly.
There was a bunch of goths used to hang about outside Argos in Stirling and the locals called them The Argoths
