Apparently how flapjacks were invented.

 

You made that up, didn’t you?

 

But the drawer thing is true. I first heard of it from my friend’s dad. A big batch would be made and the leftovers put in the drawer and sliced up as required

It's something I heard somewhere and didn't fact check as who can be arsed to do that when I can present it as fact and then get pulled up on it!

Is Jock an acceptable term for Scots? Think I've been pulled up for it online before, though not by actual Scottish people.

It's not acceptable.

 

But we're always drunk so you can probably get away with it.

 

I'm drunk.

I apologise to all Scots for my crass term Mook, I bloody love the Scots and Scotland, stunning country, great accent, anti brexit and the home of Whisky. 

We watched outlaw king last night, it was pretty shite, but black Douglas was fucking boss “WHATS MAH NAME?” “DOUGLASSSSS!” As he slices English throats like chopped liver

Deffo a comfort food day today. Had three fried eggs on toast for breakfast, made a big pan of homemade leak and potato soup for lunch and am going to do a cauliflower & broccoli mac & cheese with pancetta for tea. Bread crumb topping and everything. Shit is real, yo.

Two Scots I work with both use the term Jock about themselves. 

Oddballs.

 

It seems to be really common in Liverpool so I tend to let it go when I'm down as there's no nastiness involved. I would never use it myself though & it is generally taken as a bit of an insult.

Don't know if it's just me but I can only eat fried eggs on toast if it's with bacon.

I always used to swerve reading The Jocks and the Geordies in The Dandy. Was easily the worst comic strip in it.

I was about to call you a jock-strap but we all know where thats disappeared up 

 

 

Is that right though? Ive never known that to be an insulting term for Scottish people. At all. For a nation of men who wear skirts that seems a bit fucking prudish.
