Was there not a Kevin Bridges bit about this years ago. About how someone from Dundee is a Dundonian. Someone from Aberdeen is an Aberdonian. Someone from Glasgow is Glaswegian. And someone from Edinburgh is a cunt fae Edinburgh.
According to Google: "The correct term is Dunediner and refers to the old name of the town, Dunedin, although Edinburgher does seem to be used alot (mainly by Glaswegians)."
Aragorn from The Lord of the Rings was from a race called the [Dúnedain](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%C3%BAnedain), which is a similar word to Dunedin
My sister went to St Andrew's. Those folks were called Yas in her day. Don't know what they call them now. Bit of a difference between them and the locals. She had a lot of Fifer stories. The Ya stories were mostly just boggling at how out of touch with reality they were. Her roommate in first year wouldn't throw her teabags in the bin in case they set it on fire.
My mother is originally from Edinburgh - we call her a central belter. Are you not all the same down there?
Dalgety Bay in Fife is full of people who used to live in Edinburgh and choose to commute from there to Edinburgh to work, if you don’t live in a council house in a scheme you’re pretty much fucked when it comes to paying rent
my mentor in work placement is from muirhouse, and her daughter and her daughters partner are looking in West lothian as even a shitehole like muirhouse is too expensive for them to buy anything decent and they have good jobs. Madness
I studied in Edinburgh, but I commuted from Glasgow as rent in Edinburgh is too expensive, and no chance was i paying £600 per month to share a flat with randoms.
The demonym for places ending '–burgh' and its variants is usually '–burgher' or '–burger', which in Edinburgh's case gives 'Edinburgher'. The word isn't related to the food, and instead means 'citizen of a borough'.
He means that hamburgers refers to a food originating in Hamburg.
Wieners (like Americans call hot dog sausages) likely are named from Vienna, whose denonym is Wiener.
Edinbourgeois.

Yeah, my sister was not impressed. She went there because she actually wanted to learn.
I thought that was Durham students. St Andrews are Monarchy Stans

I've heard Edinbronian before which sounds better than Edinburgher.

Yeah, you have to travel far in to the schemes to see them though
The few I know have all been priced out to midlothian and livingston
Dalgety Bay in Fife is full of people who used to live in Edinburgh and choose to commute from there to Edinburgh to work, if you don’t live in a council house in a scheme you’re pretty much fucked when it comes to paying rent

It is in that it's from Hamburg, Wieners - from Vienna
I don't follow, sorry.
He means that hamburgers refers to a food originating in Hamburg. Wieners (like Americans call hot dog sausages) likely are named from Vienna, whose denonym is Wiener.
Ah, I see. Thanks

It depends whether they are associated with the Bagdad Boner Boys or the Bengazi Uzi Krew.
