Why do people say "No fair"....

A Scot started it?

Where does gruntfuttock come from, if you don't mind my asking? Great username!

Gruntfuttock comes from 'Round The Horne' radio show ( Kenneth Williams in fine folk song mode)........ Trunneling his wussocks etc.

Such a funny man, Kenneth Williams!!!

Laziness. (see Kardashians in the dictionary).

Kardashian isn't in my dictionary, thankfully.

Just realised, the OP might have meant not pronounced with a glottal stop in place of the t rather than "no fair" as Scots say it. "No' fair".

Sorry. Wisnae clear, y'ken.

I think it is an American expression.

Deffo Scots!

Being an 'exiled' Scot, I may not be up to date with the current state of the dialect, but I should have thought 'It's nae fair' would be more likely than 'It's no fair'.
