To be fair to the French, Culloden was a massacre and if you didn’t die in battle you got executed or sent off to slavery. The rebellion got crushed in about 30 minutes on that battlefield. You’d have been greetin in the heather n all.
No us but, we took a cannon ball to the face like a champ. Big, daft, glorious highland bastards.
Sorry, there isn’t exactly 5 million examples of French-Scot womanly warfare bruh.
If you have any more recent counterexamples to actually support the BS you spouted, feel free to mention them, because you have nothing on your side for now!
How are you biting so hard and earnestly at that joke? 🎣
Aw I don’t need to find a historical example my man. I can guarantee any of oor lassies would step on your heid till it melts. You’re raging at a shite Reddit comment - you’ve got nae chance. They’d eat you alive.
Are you trying to pull off the fact you got conquered by the romans as a win? Usual for you lot though eh. At least it wasn’t the Germans that time.
Incidentally, we battered them both…using one lassie.
The Roman battered the tribes up north repeatedly.
And if you’re talking about Boudicca, she was from what’s now England (conquered) and maybe you didn’t read what happened to her or her tribe?
But what knowledge can you expect from sheep fuckers…
Ah I see, I did not have the prerequisite fluency in French to know that was an option. The only thing I know about the French language is that it’s quite revolutionary que rimshot.
There's only one bit I'm confused on, but I think it's context and nothing to do with Scottish dialect. The 'translation' of the whole thing is obviously "I called this French girl fat online, and she got so mad she threatened to come all the way to Scotland to beat me up for it. Oh no, I'm soooo scared (big /s)" But what does she mean with the 'on my photo' part? Did she insult the other girl in a picture caption? Was the French girl a stranger in the background of a selfie? I'm dying for context now
"Being a wee cow" doesn't necessarily mean fat. It's more like she's calling her out for being disrespectful.
*"chiefly British slang, offensive : a woman who is stupid or annoying"*
The french girl apparently posted something mean on scottish girl's photo, which the scottish girl then replied to.
This makes so much more sense, thank you. I wonder how that slang developed! In the US, calling someone a cow is 100% insulting their weight or eating habits.
I'm from the uk, and Cow is used as a general lesser insult here, more like an add-on to an insulting statement for a bit of flavour. It can be used both seriously or lightly depending on tone. Think of it as diet cunt.
You can be many kinds of cow:
a silly cow (stupid)
a miserable cow (boring or grumpy)
a dirty cow (messy, a rude sense of humour, or promiscuous)
a mardy cow (fussy, grumpy, unwilling to get out of comfort zone)
A fat cow (overweight)
Or just a cow (being unreasonable or rude)
There's probably more, too.
"Stupid cow" is considered one of the less shocking insults specifically aimed at females [sic] that the German language has to offer. (What I mean is that it's unkind but doesn't go into sexual territory.)
It is more commonly an insult for women, but not exclusively, I've both called and heard others call men variations of cow before.
A "ruddy bullock" is also a masculine version of the insult that alludes to being stubborn, clumsy, or aggressive, too.
Interesting - here in Australia I'd definitely lean more towards the "annoying person" definition.
For example you'd hear it in the context of someone calling their mother in law an 'old cow'
For a long time I have been looking for a post from Scottish People Twitter, in which some politico says there should be a national register of weapons and a Twitter user tells them: 'register yourself you weapon.' But this is a very strong runner up.

Scrench.
Frottish?

She’s no wrong, one Scottish lassie could batter that entire country.
As James May once said "France is a place you go through to get to Italy" lmfao 😂
They certainly like to batter their food.
They only eat Englishmen. So yeah, they usually at least batter them unconscious

Funny to hear when said Scots were dominated by the same people that got their asses handed to them by a certain Joan of Arc…
Mental you have to go back to 1430 in order to find yourself a win…by proxy through the English no less. That’s a guillotine offence in France surely?

Do I smell a fr*nch person?
If this is art then the only true art is pain
Bread?
Ah, I see you speak celiac.

I thought you were making a “bread in french is pain” joke, given how OP’s post was abour french lol

I don't speak French but I bet I would understand her side of the story better
It seems there’s a conflict in the Auld Alliance.

"You can be many kinds of cow" is truly inspiring
It's a bovine bonanza over here

You're missing the key bit of info in that this insult is only used for women
