Wanna Learn Norn Iron me wee lad?

If any of you are interested in understanding Marty, this could be a helpful resource.

Here are a couple of gems:

"Fancy a wee pint down the bar, or do ya wanna go till the Offies for a carry out?"

Translates as: Would you like to join me in some merriment at our local hostelry or would you rather purchasing some alchohol from the local Off License?

"Getawaydafug ya wee gat. Who'd ya fink y'are? Wee Slabber......"

Translates as: You'd better leave my vicinity in a hurry. I don't like you. Go away and don't come back. Who do you think you are? Go away.

Personally, I think Marty speaks impeccably and would encourage everyone to invest some time learning ‘Norn Iron’, it’s a great accent and well worth it!!

Cheers Jeans, It's good to have someone who appreciates the 'Norn Iron' Slang.

Sure it could always could be worse.
