Which scottish movies or series you would recommend to a person that wish to have contact with the "daily" scottish english? I'm looking for some interesting scottish productions because I'm very curious about their accent. If I'm not wrong there are probably many parts of Scotland with regional lexicon so I understand that scottish english as a whole couldn't be represented by just one movie or series but by what I could undersand there is, above all these variabilities, an accent that really differ from most of other kinds of english, so any recommendation would be nice. Just trying to discover other sites inside of english world. Thanks in advance.

What means "flip-flop" in a context of a relationship discussion? I was reading a text of an actor who describes his wishes about a potential partner and he said this sentence "I have the will of a flip-flop." Could someone please tell me what he means? Thank you in advance.

Could someone help me to understand what’s the definition of “frame” in this situation, please? I’m little bit worried about this being a little bit stupid question but here it goes. I was watching South Park recently and there was a scene in which Eric Cartman tries to convince his friends to kill his mother. He brought a paper board in which he drew all his plan and in the end of his scheme, there was a crime scene with this sentence on it: “frame Token” and I never knew about this word. By guessing, I would say that frame supposed to be something about Token (another character) to incriminate him (like a personal object maybe?) but since I wasn’t sure I decided to search (I think that not knowing what this word means affected my perspective about the comicity of the situation). So I faced at least 2 billions of definitions and all of them seemed weird to me. Finally, my question is: according to your interpretation what frame would be? Thank you in advance.

Could someone please tell me the difference between "on the contrary" and "to the contrary"? I've read the definitions but I admit I struggle a lot with interpretation and for me it's almost like if they're the same information. The definition says: "on the contrary: used to intensify a denial of what as just been implied or stated by suggesting that the opposite is the case." And "to the contrary: the opposite meaning or implication." I wrote a paragraph of an essay and now I'm unsure about this part: "The Third Industrial Revolution promoted accentuated advances after World War II, placing countries that best enjoyed technological advances at the forefront of the world economy. However, ON THE CONTRARY to the expectations about the relationship between technology and regional development, the new range of access to information, the speed of communication and the abundance of events to which people are exposed daily (etc I wrote a bad consequence of this second part like the emergence of denialism)." Is that right? Thank you in advance.

Is "making light of" the same as "mocking"? The translation wasn't clear for me. I'd also like to know if one of them or both can be classified as colloquialism. And... are there any differencies about situation/place in which it's more used? Because I've read this expression "he wasn't accustomed to be made light of" in a book of an english writter and It kept me thinking if it's something common to say in England rather than in USA. Thank you in advance.
