    Yes, but its meaning depends on where exactly in the country you are.

    The phrase “You alright, pal?” Might mean “Are you okay there, friend?” or it might mean “If you take one step further, me and me mates are going to absolutely smash your wee bastard face in”.

    Normally you can hear the threat in the tone, so you won’t often get them confused.
