Fellow Glaswegians are invited to discuss: are these terms particular to Glasgow? Camillus (talk) 15:04, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not a Glasgwegian (though that may make my comments of more use) but I believe these terms occur in every playground in the country.  So no, not part of the Glasgow patter. Maccoinnich 17:21, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for that, Maccoinnich - and I'm sorry about the "Fellow Glaswegians" - don't mean to be exclusive... Camillus (talk) 19:51, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

text: Many of the other terms listed here are certainly not particular to Glasgow in their usage and - I'd guess - not in their origin either. Also, although spelling in Scots is not particularly standardised a lot of the spelling of terms, especially in the quotations in the article, seems unconventional at least. --Mutt Lunker 18:25, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

message: I've never heard the term 'Particks' to refer to breasts. But if people do say it, then surely it comes from a rhyming slang on 'Partick Thistles' (nipples).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.215.149.96 (talk) 17:55, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Or from English rhyming slang. Partick Thistle = Bristol = Bristol City = Titty. Opera hat (talk) 14:35, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Is it Glasweigan or Scottish? I always thought it to be Glasweigan. Any thoughts on it's inclusion?
I'm from Edinburgh, and the term is used here.  Generally Scots, rather than Glaswegian, I think. - Duncan Sneddon
Correct spelling on this should be 'choob'. Justin.Parallax (talk) 10:38, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: A variant, yes, but not more "correct". And per above, general rather than Glaswegian. Mutt Lunker (talk) 17:05, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

message: Says here that to "nip" is to french kiss? I always thought to "nip a burd" was just to "pull", or "lumber" a girl??? Camillus (talk)  23:45, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: It definitely meant french kissing when I was at school. Reveilled 13:06, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

message: I've just deleted all the examples as they were all unreferenced.  I made some [necessarily unreferenced] contributions myself.  These were far more credible than some of the existing ones, (at least from what I've heard in central Glasgow) but they were all rm'd by some anal editor.   For consistency, only referenced examples should be included.  I personally think wikipedia isn't appropriate for this kind of info anyway.  
The expression "patter" to refer to some kind of dialect is a middle class invention anyway.  Slang by its very nature can't be referenced or officially documented in most cases.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.105.195.99 (talk) 22:54, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

message: This article contains very little information at all about Glaswegian itself as a dialect of English. There's some information about its sociolinguistic situation, and a bit about external influences on it, but there's no linguistic description of how the dialect actually sounds and works.
I'd like to tag this as needing the attention of an expert, but I'm not sure what project to attach it to. I'd also like to propose changing the name to something more scientific and encyclopaedic, such as Glaswegian, Glaswegian English or Glasgow English.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.177.105.213 (talk) 02:11, 17 October 2015 (UTC)

message: As a Glasgow local, the word patter I think is misleading in the title of the article. "Patter" tends to be used to describe an individual persons humour or unique talking style/vocabulary, and the phrase "Glasgow patter" when referring to the vernacular speech of Glaswegians is quite rare. It is normally just called "Glaswegian". As the dialect is quite distinct and widespread (Glaswegian population is officially 600,000, up to 1 million in the larger metropolitan area), and "patter" not a commonly used word in linguistics, I think using Patter in the title is misfitting and the page should be moved to "Glaswegian dialect" or "Glaswegian English", or simply "Glaswegian".

replies: text: I agree, my preference would be 'Glaswegian dialect', Glaswegian on its own is a bit vague, and calling it either 'Glaswegian English' or 'Glaswegian Scots' is liable to be challenged by those who feel it is more closely linked to the other. In truth it is a mix of both with Irish influences. Crowsus (talk) 23:31, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
