Wife Speak

LairdofLochaber · 25-04-2009, 16:41

Having read the post about learning Scottish, I wondered if any of my learned colleagues could help me to master the difficult language of "Wife Speak" after studing at two different colleges the first college for 9 years and the present college for 20 years, I find I am no nearer to understanding the language let alone speaking it. Haven't quite got my head around No meaning Yes,even!!!!
