@ecksmc Sorry, dumb, but I have to ask. Are you entertaining the vicar and asking if he'd like more coffee? Or is he entertaining you and you request another cup?

@walterbays it's my spin on more tea vicar - meaning I'm getting coffee if I had a vicar he'd get me one lol

(can also mean > The phrase is often uttered as a polite expression when someone farts loudly in public)

it was a big thing here back in early-mid 80's on a breakfast show

@ecksmc Now I know one more cult series. Thanks. So by "here" do you mean UK? So do you like Andy Pandy? Rosie and Jim? Or more like Oor Willie, or Derry Girls?

@walterbays 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 so, oor wullie

these were all over Scotland and since Glasgow it needs a cone lol

funfact: there is a character in oor wulie called "wee eck" my nickname was/is wee eck

@ecksmc We were having lunch at a pub in Inverness. A group of men entered and dragged a man out of the kitchen. They tied him to a lamppost outside. We expected police soon, but were puzzled by the calm acceptance of the proceedings by all at the pub. They brought a vat of dirty dishwater and dumped it over his head. It was 50F out. Next was a gallon of honey, and finally a bushel of feathers. They tied the man onto a truck and drove him slowly down the street, everyone jeering....

@ecksmc ...we asked our server what was going on. First he asked us where we were from. California. Ah, well Wullie (let's just call him that) is getting married. And that was the bride's family.

Why do you ask? How do you do it in California then?

@walterbays lol 😂 old stag tradition that not so much the honey and feathers part though that's just mean lol tying to lamppost isn't just a Scottish thing more a UK thing also in some parts

further up north ya go the weirder these traditions get ive found can get pretty extreme
