EP 12: "Scottish In-Jokes, Stereotypes and Tropes" with Garry Stevenson

63 Percent Scottish: A Scotland Appreciation Podcast

23-01-2024 • 43 mins

How many words do the Scottish have for "drunk?" What exactly is a Kerbie Legend? What other cultural references or in-jokes should non-Scots know? We asked the man, the myth, the legend: Garry Stevenson.

Garry is the creator behind all of your favourite content on Being Scottish, the social media-based celebration of, well, being Scottish. We cover:

  • The origin story for Being Scottish
  • His aversion to stereotypes when sharing new content
  • The definitions of numerous VERY SCOTTISH WORDS
  • Explanations for a few Scottish jokes that most non-Scots wouldn't get.
