WTF does it mean?
It's an affectation from Jimbo's time on the Amateur Radio group...
oh right
easy... they trash what is not theirs ...
heard it on the air from European stations many times...many times many many many times.....I didn't make it up
For example I live in the near of Glasgow...not in it
More simply expressed as "I live near Glasgow", Shirley?
Yes but it's a calque of the German "In der Nähe von...", which you will sometimes hear from the minority of German radio amateurs whose English is not perfect.
spot on
And an excellent word it is, too. It's very rarely heard outwith Scotland - or indeed, furth (sic) of the country.
