How the Scottish presenter pronounces ‘constituency’.
I have really enjoyed the election coverage. I do love a good election. The ridiculous sniping between political guests, the swingometer and Westminster filling up graphics, the ‘I know this isn’t a general election, but if it was…let’s see what it would mean histrionics’. Oh it’s glorious.
But how the young Scottish political presenter (not Laura, the young lad whose name I missed) pronounces ‘constituency’ is a joy. It’s a weird and beautiful ‘conshcishuency’.
I keep wanting to find a Scottish person, to determine if this is just how it sounds across certain Scottish dialects, or if he’s personally invented a new word. Can somebody more familiar with Scottish speakers please tell me, as it’s a big talking point in our house!
Update: I found it!…the presenter was David Wallace Lockhart and he even says constituency in the clip!!
