“Being a lesbian sucks sometimes. You tell another girl she’s a hottie, and she says, “thanks” like we’re being friendly. I ain’t just being friendly, I’m trying to fuck!”
I got all of that except “shag ye x,” because it sounds like “shag (fuck) you x,” where “x” is the subject that is a bit vague. Like, “I’m trying to shag you, love?” or “Fuck your ex,” as in, the last person you broke up with?
It’s an amplifier. “You’re hot” makes it mean “someone as hot as you thinks I’m hot? Damn”, “you smell terrible” makes it mean “how the fuck do you of all people even notice my small with that rank odor”
Also, this is how a girl politely turns you down. I take heart that lesbians are in the same boat as hetero guys when it comes to this struggle. I read this and think “oh, girls are bad at this too!”

I think I translated it correctly.
Thanks for translating. As a non native English speaker I nearly got a stroke trying to understand these… words.
To assist:

“x” is a kiss, used as an informal “yours truly” in British English digital correspondence
Wait, I thought ‘x’ was hug and ‘o’ was kiss. Have I been wrong all these years??
X is kiss, O is hug (at least, in the UK it is)
that is also how it’s always been explained to me
I could be wrong, but I thought the x at the end was just a cutesy sign-off. Like “xoxo” type of thing.
Pretty sure it’s the x in “xoxo”, the old convention for hugs and kisses.
The release of Shrek is closer to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and the invention of the Sony Walkman than it is to today
Now I want to cry.
As a native English speaker, me too.
Should watch still game. You’ll end up with a brain aneurysm trying understand the Scottish pensioner’s
The Scottish pensioner is what?
it’s not a contraction, it’s possession.
where the last word is omitted for brevity
I never knew you can just omit such key words.
well you can!
And if the sentence feels sparse you can drop “which” in there wherever, because apparently it’s just filler now.
If you’re a big fat liar
how will you ever cope
You’re weclome

Personally father ted takes the cake in my books I’ve still got father Jack Hacketts wise words ingrained into my head
.such words of poetry such words of expression these words are moving pieces of poetry
As a native English speaker I nearly got a stroke trying to figure out what it said
I had to imagine Karen Gillan saying it
Oi
Isn’t “coming from you” a put down? Or does it more mean “you care about fashion and looks, so obviously you know”?
It’s an amplifier. “You’re hot” makes it mean “someone as hot as you thinks I’m hot? Damn”, “you smell terrible” makes it mean “how the fuck do you of all people even notice my small with that rank odor”
It’s ambiguous, but the 👸 emoji solidifies it as a positive comment.
…And she says, “thanks” knowing I’m a lesbian and appreciate female beauty sexually taking the complement more intensely. I ain’t just being…
ITIFTFY?
Where i come from a shag is a party
That’s a shag, a noun. What about the verb, to shag?
where i come from it’s a carpet
or just particularly thick pubes
I think gays and straights have the same problem, though.
That’s how I read it too.
