(Rant)Took a moment to decipher this after hearing it screeched at a gaggle of urchins in Aberdeen.
Broken down, fit why wa gaan, it actually asks which way are we going?
I love regional accents and what they represent, but hate lazy speech perpetrated to fit into a social group.(rant)
It always makes me laugh when people type in regional accents i.e. phonetically. Why would you do that?
Because I had to break it down phonetically to understand it, and have no concept of how it should be spelled correctly. If you can spell poor speech correctly.
That wasnt a dig at you notlocal. More a dig at people who type in their accent. Some scots on FB seem to be quite keen on it, even though I think it sounds moronic.
That's a dialect. Perfectly acceptable. My speech and language therapist wife doesn't correct dialects or colloquialisms. Furry boots ye gan? is also good.
Ye snobby ****s.
Jai.
For the Glaswegians only.
I'm disappointed, thought this was going to be a thread about a Doric/Jamaican patois cross over.

As has been pointed out, that's not 'lazy speech to fit into a social group' but the Doric dialect spoken by not just the loons and quins of Aberdeen but an awful lot of people in the North East.
Bet you never had the balls to tell them what you thought though!
Speaking it is fine, it just comes across as weird when its typed phonetically.

that was the name of the boy in 1970's Tarzan on the TV wasn't it?
Except the OPs attempt is only a phonetic representation of the sound if you don't have a scottish accent, we pronounce the W and H in why, the sound of "way" in Dorric is a lot closer to just "y"
Doric is bloody difficult to understand
