I am not saying Butler is one of the greatest actors of his generation or anything…But I do find him fun as hell. He seems like a nice person. All indications are he shows up ready to go and do whatever is needed/asked of him on set.
I would like to see more of this cat on screen please in good flicks.

In & oot.
Means to get in and get out in record time. Often used when visiting assholes you have to like to their face, but actually hate in private.

Objection! Some of those are more generally British rather than Scottish (“trolley”, “rank”), some are specifically Glaswegian (“getting the messages”) and some are not slang at all, but rather Standard Scots (“Ah dinnae ken”, “bonnie”).
And no words for argument/fight? As I understand it, the rough ascending order of virulence/violence goes:
- stramash
- stooshie
- rammy

Best part: The video leads to similar ones, including Margot Robbie explaining Aussie slang, Slama Hayek for Mexican slang, Emily Blunt for Brit and Aussie slang, etc. All pretty cute.
Oh, and Marky Mark doing Boston slang, which I could have skipped.
