Interesting - I've heard it used in that context quite often tbh. Usually by schemies towards people from other schemes they think are worse.

Was always a muddy thing for us too. Think she's probably just a racist vile Tim think it's safe to close the book on this one

[Sarkozabal]

Regardless of what sort of backwards phrases you were brought up using, there's no way anyone is tweeting the phrase 'smelly bogging black bastards' () without knowing exactly what they're doing. She deserves all the abuse she gets.

It's a Fife thing I think, quite often heard tinky folk getting called black bastards when I was younger. Not a term I'd use now because of the different connotations but never had anything to do with race. It's also an easy get out of jail free card for genuine racists to use to try and get away so who fucking knows

[CritchSmile]

I would like to see if the folk she is talking about are black

I'm not familiar with the way she used it. Obviously my ma would say you're black when muddy after football etc but that seems to be a different tone.

That's the only way I've heard it used.

[Papin]

Mind getting told to “play the white man” when I was being a wee shit

[Charlie Kelly]

My mum and gran used to say we were black as well when we were manky after playing football or that. There is a tone to that though that could easily be misinterpreted, clearly bought in to the whole scottish Twitter patter  and thought she'd get away with it.

[Nive la France]

Her ma probably ran away with a black man.

That reminds me of being in G years ago and an old boy behind us shouting 'black bastard' when Obua missed a pass or something. When he got pulled up for it he claimed he meant the referee (who wasn't even wearing black IIRC). Should have claimed he was referencing Obua's muddy shorts and he would have got away with it

Tbf I remember my grandad telling me that people used to call the refs black bastards as well. Probably best to retire that shout at the football mind

yer granda. Black bastard was used a lot, and not all that long ago. No racist connotation whatsoever!

[Shteve]

My grandad would say it with all racial connotations very much connected

Probably not 'black bastard' but almost everything else.

[Roger H. Sterling]

Asked my weegie bird what black bastard means without context and she said dirty person straight away.

[Cheeky Gnando’s]

Its defo a predominantly west coast thing, in my experience. My mum used to say it all the time if I came home from football muddy or that.

Considering your disgraceful sectarian views it doesn't surprise me that your family ticks the racism box too.

"Ya wee black bastairt, get in the bath!"

[Cheeky Gnando’s]

Nah they wouldn't call you a black bastard

Just the use of “black” as an adjective meaning dirty.

[Charlie Kelly]

Not sure it is west coast, my family's always said it and none of us are associated with the rotten side of the country. Think it's more to do with the mines.

Why do you think that's a west coast thing?

It's common to be called black if you were dirty. We're trying to figure out if anyone has been called a black bastard for being muddy though

[Cheeky Gnando’s]

Because I've only ever heard it used by West Coasters

I did say predominantly and not exclusively.
