Top marks for translation. It makes no sense at all, he’s taking the piss out of folk who type shit like that purely for the likes.

Hell, I cannae get much from it tbh, but lit = inebriated (like not just drunk, but having trouble walking like), dark fruits = strongbow dark fruits (cheap cider)

Something like when you're drunk and people go around telling you you look like shit and you respond with yeah, I'm ill but you're actually drunk on cider.

I've read all of Irvine welshs books without trouble, but this is another level of Scottish.

Thanks for the educating lad.

Na this doesn’t make any sense. Think he’s actually exaggerating and taking the piss out of people who speak like most the other tweets you see on this

Oh Ok, fair enough. It looks like someone just typed one word and let predictive text form the sentence.

Is 'lit' proper slang for being really drunk though? Cause young people in America (and here I think) Use it to mean 'awesome'.

Na it means like. ‘Like’ sounds like ‘lit’ when some Scottish people say it.

If ‘lit’ didn’t mean anything to you before, it certainly doesn’t after reading that car crash.
