I see it frequently in posts, in particular Scottish posts, but have never heard it in England.

Do you have an example of it in a sentence?

Personally I think it's obviously some regional saying kind of like "one of those" :D

Out with, could mean going out with someone.
but in taxi or PH terms it means outwith your own area

We also say 'Neeber' which probably means little to people down here.

'Och' is quite common, as is 'Dinnae'. :wink:

So if Mike Sarne had been a Scot, the sixties novelty record would've been called "Come outwith"?

If you spill someones beer in a Glasgow pub, might you be invited "outwith?"

Do you have outwith toilets in Scotland?

How quaint. :lol: :lol: :lol:

We're natural born leaders, that's all.

It's good to be a tad different. :wink:

Why do people from England say 'like' in every sentence?

Or use the rising inflection as if every statement is a question?

"Where to Love"

"Smith Street?"

"Are you asking me if I know where its?" :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
