My wife (from the highlands) is constantly ripping my central belt accent. Like all the fucken time. She finds it awfully hilarious for a Teuchter. Not got a leg to stand on that lot! Her favourites are how I pronounce milk (mulk - I used to get a cuff round the ear from my maw for that, so I kept using it out of spite) and beard (baird apparently it sounds like).

This is hilarious. Movies are called 'fillum' in India as well. It's practically a word in Hindi.

Gujarati too. All my rellies who grew up in India say fillum. After dating an Irishman for more years than I care to remember, it's funny how much Indians and Irish have in common (we keep the plastic on everything too).

Interestingly, in southern India (below Maharashtra & MP) they're called 'fillim' .

"the plastic on everything" is too real. Do they also store away plastic bags in one plastic bag and stuff that bag behind some door?

Yeah, we have a bag of bags lol In fact I have some old bags under my mattress! I don't really use them anymore since I moved to reusables.

One thing I don't think the Irish do is keep a suitcase of fabric under the bed/on top of a wardrobe.

There was a good sketch about it on Goodness Gracious Me, the "Bharrat Homes" one. Too true!
