You think that's weird?
Try Aberdeen, and the outlying areas.

I knew a girl from Aberdeen once
she didn't sound that bad, to be honest. My dad's parents were Glaswegians though, so I think I'm more used to it than most round this way.

I lived in Derby for a few years
And due to my undiluted Glasgow accent, the amount of folk who thought I was a head stomping psychopath was shocking. I eventually had to tone it down, mainly due to never being understood first time, stopped saying 'aye' and 'naw' and having at least one 'fuck' in every sentence. It did, in a weird way command respect and folk would be very friendly, if not overly friendly in attempt to stave of the brutal beatings they thought I was about infilct.

It wasn't until I moved there I realised just how much I swore and how scummy it sounded. Well mainly when I came back up here for a visit and heard the aggressive, machine gun like vocal attacks all around me that it really hit home.

It's not the accent as such
it's the association with vicious stakey attacks.

The thing about Derby, was they had no discernable accent, just a wishy washy amalgam of mediocrity.
