Not all people in Aberdeen are Aberdonian. :)

 

I know Aberdonian's who use the expression. It is ruining our culture. It ruined me when they had a Peterhead actor playing a Glaswegian in a movie.

People who refer to children as Waynes (the Glasgow Expression). This is Aberdeen they are called Bairns or Children.

Bairns is originally a lowland scottish/northern english word for kids.

If you're being traditional, in Aberdeen children would be called Geets, Loons or Quines, depending on how old they are I think.

Why? It's what actors do.

 

It'd be like me saying I'm mad because they used a Scot to play a Yorkshireman (Robert Carlyle) in The Fully Monty. I wouldn't though, because I'm not mental.

 

They got a Glaswegian to play an Aberdonian (Tony Gordon) in Coronation Street and he made no effort at a Doric accent.

fuck you.

Most of my family is from Glasgow and when I was very little I was absolutely fine with them calling me whatever they liked.

I'm so aggressive over nothing, haha

It's like moving to Tokyo and saying "Hey Y'all" in a strong Texas accent. You need to adapt.
