Glasgow or is it Glazgow... what is it to you?

[yoker brian]

Been working in Edinburgh the past 3 months and I'm told I live in Glasgae and that I'm a Weegie c**t (which I'm assured is a term of endearment)

Oh and Polmadie is pronounced Polmaddy apparently .

[RapidAssistant]

This has actually got me thinking of other town-native pronunciations; some examples come to mind:

Blantyre - 'BLANTARR'
Wishaw - 'WISHEY'

Can anyone think of any others?

[robertpool]

Milngavie - Millguy

[robertpool]

Milngavie - Millguy

[yoker brian]

Being a weegie I would say Athelstaneford as it is written, although my colleague who was born & raised there pronounces it Elshinthurd, but he's just an Edinburgh radge ye ken eh?

[yoker brian]

Gilshochill - Gil-shie-hill

[banjo]

baurheid,barrhead.

[sandabound]

Gullane - Gullin

The one that surprised me - being a regular Inverness commuter - was Kingussie. Kin you see.

[banjo]

i recall a cartoon character called king gussie back in the day.beano or dandy possibly.

[pingu]

is glaSgow not the Gaelic pronunciation?

most people i know say it with a Z

[Lawman]

Wishy = Wishaw
Mullguy = Milngavie

[Vinny the Mackem]

Definitely Glazgow or Glezga. I can understand that through other regional dialects "GlaSgow" comes through, but "Glezgie" is just a mickey take that no one I know that comes from the city has said, ever!

[MadTom]

I didn't think anyone used an S ...

LIke 'Glass-go' !?

[War Baby]

I have heard Americans say GLASS - COW with a slight pause in the middle. And they also say EDIN - BORROW.
