While wandering through the forum I often come across a few posts like these from very much esteemed regular contributors, now my command of english being what it is, I tried reading them aloud and eventually had a rough idea of their meaning, until puzzled french swmbo asked from the other room "quelle langue parles tu, mon cher?"

the only recurrent word I saw was *border* but a google search gave too many thousands results

as most of the posts in this language look very interesting, where could I find a glossary to improve my understanding ?

You will achieve much closer interaction with said regular contributors if you walk up to them, and introduce yourself with the words: "Gissa Glasgae kiss". This is a common phrase in the lingua franca spoken by our cousins north of the border, and will establish an immediate rapport with them.

In spite of appearances, incidentally, it is not a Caledonian euphemism for gay sex.

:eek:)
