wtf is shat masel
- I gotcha fam, I got this shit
  
  "I was standing next to a goth at a crosswalk and they opened their umbrella and I literally shit myself thinking this person was turning into a bat."
  
  No cap I think that's it
  
  Shat is the past tense of the verb to shit, methinks
  
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scots_language
  
  English-like, not strictly English. The line is generally pretty blurry in the modern day
  
  No cap on what?
  
  Defs no cap.
- I's Bri'ish, ri'en foanettically, rye?
  
  Pe'haps "Shet Maahsel" is maw clee?
  
  It's Scottish English. Don't call a Scottish person English, they might take offence.
  
  I don't have any money just take the wallet!
  
  Mazel tov to you too!
  
  The "a" makes me think Scottish.
  
  The sheep need tending
- Shat myself
- Dinnae fash yersel, it's jist a wee blether.
- It's OP's friend. Shat Masel is always thinking the most outlandish things.
  
  highlandish things
- "...and I honestly shat myself thinking..." Also "goth" can be a goth, emo, metal head, or other adjacent subculture.. I'm not really sure what the deal with goths in Scotland is.
  
  Living in perpetual rain fog and twilight does that with you
- Probably voice recognition. "Shat myself"
  
  Punctuation would be nice too.
  
  people purposely dont use punctuation to show tone
- You have to read it with an Irish accent to understand the post.
  
  Scottish works better, no?
What language is this?
- scots or scottish english maybe
  
  Yep, it's Scots, or at least mostly
- read it out loud
Scottish people have the best way of talking. We need more Scottish speaking people in this world.
There was a bunch of goths used to hang about outside Argos in Stirling and the locals called them The Argoths
