It's not actually a Glasgow thing. Most Glaswegians say it as 'roll n sausage', with the n being a contracted 'and'.

HOWEVER, 'roll on sausage' is the way it is said in a lot of other parts of Scotland outside of Glasgow. You don't even need to go very far to hear it.

My partner comes from Wishaw and she says it as 'on'. Roll on Sausage. Piece on chopped pork. Toast on jam. (Also note that 'on' is pronounced like 'oan', so it's said like 'a roll oan sausage'.

It gets even more weird than that though.

Her: Do you want a piece?

Me: Aye.

Her: What do ye want it on?


That last question really means 'what do you want on/in it?'... Every so often I will answer it literally by replying "on a plate", to which she will go "aye, haha, dead funny, ye know whit I mean. Are ye wanting a piece on pork or chicken?"
