Being lesbo sucks. I tell a girl that she’s banging and you get “coming from you 👸🏼”. Literally no, I’m not saying that to be your pal, I’m saying it to shag you…
No idea. The Doric branch of Scots is something else, it’s wild. Even if two people local to a particular area from thirty or forty miles away are gabbin awa to each other, I can just about follow the thread of the conversation but I couldn’t pick out every single word.
I don’t think anything in @[email protected]’s comment is particularly Celtic/Gaelic-inspired.
Banging is slang for hot. Pal means friend. Shag means have sex with. They’re all fairly common slang in the English language even outside of Scotland. Mostly in England, but elsewhere in the Commonwealth most people would be familiar with the terms, even if it wouldn’t be the first slang term they themselves would use.
Do Scottish people use “fit” like that? I know it’s used in England, particularly the north, but I don’t think I’ve seen it from Scotland. Probably says more about how much exposure I’ve had to Scottish culture though.
Can someone explain why anyone would reply like that? I am not a native English speaker. I could understand “coming [to answer the door] for you, queen” but not anything “from you”.
I can’t figure out what half of that says and want a translation

I can barely understand the gist of what you wrote. I’m genuinely curious how English did this… I assume from mixing with Celtic/gaelic languages?

I’m familiar with all of that…?
I thought it was obvious that because I responded to this comment, I was talking it in particular: https://feddit.uk/comment/5215388
Ah sorry. I misread and thought you were replying to the parent comment of that comment.
Anyway, I’ll admit I’m struggling with that one too. My best take:
Maybes naw: I think this is literally “maybe no”, possibly used equivalently to the Aussie “nah yeah” (meaning “yes”)?
ye ken: you know
fit like: quite hot
spot on: exactly
min: ???
But I don’t really see how they fit together.
It seems to me that “fit like” means “kinda correct”
Beats me to “min”, though

It’s short for something along the lines of „that statement means a lot coming from you, as you are also very attractive“
excellent or impressive. “a beautiful celebrity with a banging bod”
Scran is slang used to describe food,leftovers etc
So I might say m8. For an example that’s some banging scran you made m8
