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
While technically correct, when it comes to translating slang things become more art than science.
The goal is to evoke the same feeling and imagery.
Like how I changed "Honestly" to "Literally". Both are English but over here we don't use "Honestly" like that so the word "Literally" was a better choice.
But literally literally means figuratively these days
No cap on what?
The bat? I became lost some time ago.
No lie.
Capping as in teasing you with a fib, or commenting on how fat your mama is. Zoomer-Alpha slang.
Defs no cap.

English-like, not strictly English. The line is generally pretty blurry in the modern day
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.
See dah's wye aye sèh Bri'ish, i's inkloosiv wen a mnoh shoah witch country i's from
That is what we call a "significant faux pas" in the industry
Scottish is British, they didn't call them English
Until the blighters start to demand independence like the irishy I'm gonna call them English and they can pound sand.
I don't have any money just take the wallet!
The "a" makes me think Scottish.
This is definitely someone from around the Glasgow area
The sheep need tending
Shat myself
Probably voice recognition. "Shat myself"
Punctuation would be nice too.
people purposely dont use punctuation to show tone
showing tone is pretty much the entire point of punctuation
"...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.
You have to read it with an Irish accent to understand the post.
Scottish works better, no?
Probably, but I can't do a good enough one in my head.
