No, I mean the Deil, pronounced DEE-ill. The song is in Laland Scots, which is superficially similar to English but not the same language:
quote:Donald's the callant that brooks nae tangledness; Whigging and prigging and a'newfangledness, They maun be gane: he winna be baukit, man: He maun hae justice, or faith he'll tak it, man.
(for the record, I DID think it was funny and I'd read the other thread, but if MattP was offended it'd be pretty justified)

Maybe Matt isn't offended. I'm not sure it's worth potentially offending him given the situation, but I'm not the forum police, so... Posts: 6367 | Registered: Aug 2003

Ok look, I'm not saying I'm above taking a bit of Schadenfreude in posting something I think will piss people off, but I do think you're being truly hypersensitive here - and on someone else's behalf, at that. Dobies are a well-established form of humour on this forum, and they are not taken as mocking the subject matter of the original thread. Wordplay is not mockery.

Nah, I'm not being that sensitive. I'm not saying you should delete it or anything. I was just curious.
