Quite wrong sir, the correct term refers to ordering bridies...

"...an an ingin ane anaw"

My Mrs went to uni in Dundee and her main remembrance of the dialect is;

"an ingin ane anaw, an ah'll tak a telly tae"

Or

"and I shall have an onion one, plus a copy of the Evening Telegraph also"

[rossybee]

Ahhh, the tully

[BREMBOV6]

better watch what I say here....

[rossybee]

Oh no, we're all gagging for the opinion of someone who lived in Dundee for six months, albeit nineteen years ago.

LOL indeed

[BREMBOV6]

Stayed there less than a year ago and was there for 5 years but anyway

I was very surprised it never won the City of culture, pah!

[rossybee]

No Scottish city was ever gonna win, what with the independence thing a possibility.

If this amuses you check out the new Asterix and the Pects book.

The Gauls are weegie, the Picts speak Doric and the Romans speak with a Dundee accent. One of the centurions is called Ingananeneus. Clever stuff.

Daily Mince link below sums it up well.

Just to note that I got a copy of this book after reading this thread and it's hilarious. It may be my childish sense of humour, but I thought it was brilliantly written. Cheers for the recomendation.

Was up at Camperdown Park a few years ago with family and was amazed at all the young teenagers with their wee brothers and sisters in prams.....until the penny dropped DOH! Felt ancient

Thats brilliant lol!

Just noticed that The Nilupul Foundation was founded in Dundee.

That wouldn't have been my first guess. Yet more evidence that I shouldn't judge.

[rossybee]

I didn't know that - and the entrance is right next to Santander - who would've thunk it.

Dundonians are the most miserable people in Scotland says survey ... (<- Daily Record link)
