Do you remember the dialect/accent meme? Well, lads and lassies from across Scotland and all around the world, I need your help. All is explained in the video below…(excuse the lack of make up!)
…so what do YOU call it? Leave your answers in a comment below. And then I’ll tell you what I call it!
Thanks LFS readers…
The first word that comes to mind is scooshy cream…..but I would also call it squirty cream. I reckon I’ve picked up more Scottish-ness than I realised…
I keep telling people not to leave the door on the snib. They have no idea what I mean.
I, along with my family call it ‘squirty cream’. Hope this helps in some way

@Rubaloo – thanks! I did not know that snib was a Scottishism. What do you call it south of the border?
@Cat – Good to know! Thank you!
That is skooshy cream. Some people call it squirty but that is wrong. The aerosol cream does skoosh but does not exactly squirt.
It is also, most certainly, not whipped cream despite what many a large coffee chain would have us believe.
My husband, who’s from Ayrshire, calls it “skooshy cream.” I’m from Chicago and call it “whipped cream in a can” (creative, eh?).
I’m way late to the game. I call it squirty cream because after nearly 12 years in the UK I speak pretty fluent British.
@Jeff – what did you call it before you lived in the UK? I’m intrigued to know!
This Kiwi doesn’t call it anything exciting. Just, er, cream? Spray cream? Aerosol cream? I don’t know, lol!
