The sketch is from a Scottish comedy sketch show based in and around Glasgow and making fun of the Scottish and particularly Glaswegian culture.

Ice Cream Lady : There ye go... a 99 and a bottle o' Irn Bru
There you go, you're ice cream and a bottle of Irn Bru

She then asks what the other boy wants and he says :

He's wantin' a swatch a'yer fanny

which means

He'd like a look of your vagina.

She shows them (not shown) and then drives off leaving the boys amazed. The joke being that they the boys were obviously trying to be offensive and weren't expecting her to do it. At the end of the episode of "Chewin the Fat" that this sketch was shown in you see the boys still standing there late at night with the same amazed looks on their face and their ice creams melted.

fanny=vagina in Glaswegian?!

apparently so! it seems to be accepted in all of the UK though as my husband has forbid me from using the phrase 'fanny pack' now!! lol

i have an english friend who i used to torture by running around singing 'fanny shag fanny shag ooohhhh fanny fanny shag' to her, since both of those words are much more vulgar in the uk then they are here. i also made her blush once by saying that, in america and more specifically in the south, the phrase 'i'm gonna wear your little fanny out' is sometimes said by parents who are threatening to spank their children.

also, apparently antsy = horny in the uk. found that out from her accidentally.

Yes, I do believe America is the only country that uses 'fanny' to describe the arse (sorry ass... ya donkey loving freaks)

...yeah but you Brits say "squirrel" with two syllables, pretentious soundin' crap like that and Al-loo-Min-eee-um...is enough to piss a yank off!....hakA!

Oh no, i'm an Aussie (pronounced 'Ozz-ee')

We also say 'Al-oo-min-ee-um' -> there's an 'ium' at the end, not 'um' >.<
Also, while i'm here! it's pronounced Leff-ten-ant, not Loo-ten-ant! arrgghh!

Weird, I never heard of fanny and I live in USA.

Antsy = Horny? Isn't it being impatient?

Because if it's not then I been missing out on load of ladies.

Antsy can mean horny or impatient. I guess impatient for a shag is where it comes from.

Al-loo-Min-eee-um? Loo? Surely you can't mean Al-u-mini-um? Like, you know, that metal aluminium. How is it yanks pronounce it, A-lum-in-um? Yeah, never mind that extra i, we don't need that. You know who ignores letters? The French. That's right, when you say A-lum-in-um, you are supporting the French. And Cribb-e-an? It's Caribbean. Car-i-bbe-an. If you ignore that a, you are a cheese eating surrender monkey. That's also Scottish (well, not really but a Scottish character, close enough).

Yeah, fanny is a different part of the body in the UK. Close, but not so close that you can confuse the two in an intimate situation and talk your way out of it, if you know what I mean.

How do you say squirr-el in one syllable?


(Wow, this is in grave danger of turning in to a rant, I'd better stop!)

Skwerl.

lol @ this convo ...

my husband and i have mostly worked out our lingual differences! i still melt whenever he speaks!! i could listen to him all day! i think the last difference we discussed was 'singapore' (sing-ga-pore vs. sing-ah-pore).

along the lines of this thread though ... one of the most interesting pronunciation differences is with the word: twat! we say: twat (twAHt ryhmes with cot) - brits say: twat (twAT ryhmes with bat)

I tried reading what LadyBug said but it all sounded like female swooning to me

farve!

Actually, we Yanks spell it "aluminum", not "aluminium".

I thoroughly agree with your post Quboid!

You 'U.S. English' speaking types better beware...when Nicky P gets here: he'll be ranting about how 'International English' (that's the official English the rest of the world uses) is always correct by definition [the clues in the name: English]. By that I mean, it's from the same place where the history comes from, and is accurate to its (mixed) Greek heriitage; as in Pedo = foot and Peado = child?!

I speak American - and if it was good enough for Jesus, it's good enough for me.

what's all this then? Don't tempt me benjee, I don't want people to hate me, but...........never ask an american where you can buy some fags

Sorry for the semi-sarcastic rant, but this is one of my pet-hates (probably from installing software that has every language in the world - but no International English...just English (U.S.) - damn, that pisses me off!)

And Dag: your post is comedy genius!

eh, jesus is american, listen to the morons or whoever
