Do you know what is meant by 'she does heehaw?'

[ILoveMyBobbleHat]

Said this about a particularly lazy colleague today and had my immediate neighbour in tears laughing at it!

I'm Scottish and she's English, she claims never to have heard it before!

Granny Island is fab. I liked the one where Katie Morag is unimpressed by the new baby and throws her teddy into the sea in a huff, then regrets it, but Granny Island sorts it all out. We specially liked the Big Boy Cousins too.

Thanks all for the kind words and YeTalkShiteHelen sorry about your mum too.

@yoksha Fair mintin like quine? Love a bit of Doric!

N.B( l'm not sure if that's how you spell it!!)

thole is a great word prettybird

also love scunner as in to take a scunner to someone. There's no real English equivalent.

Braw is another good one. When I'd visit my granny and grandpa as a wee girl we'd wear our nicest dresses and spin round to show them off and they'd say You're awfie braw

What about saying It's Baltic when the weather's freezing? I've only heard that in Scotland

Does anyone remember the ripple of excitement at school when word got out that someone had an empty?

highlandcoo aw aye I loved that one too!

StellaCorona thank you

Aye! Enough that I’ll make sure my bairns never find out what it is

What about "guddling"? As in standing at the sink as a bairn guddling in your simmet. Though you might get skelped

😃Loved an empty. I was never brave enough to actually have one though.

Have you been out on the Randan again?

Guddling is a brilliant word! Skiddling too.

I've only heard guddling used in reference to fishing with your hands in a stream.

And plittering

Did ye get a lumber?
Are ye winchin ?
Questions to make any teenagers toes curl. 🙄

Scotland - where a carry out has nothing to do with food!

Wtf is that

And you'd be girning and greeting after you'd been skelped on your bahookie floradora It'd be all tears and snotters after that.

Did ye get a lumber?

My pal’s dad used to ask us all that when we piled back to theirs after a night out! Followed by “did ye scrap?” If the answer was no to both it was usually followed by “fuck did ye go oot fur then?”

Are ye dancin? Are ye askin?

We agreed to an empty in June so that ds could host one of the after party for his Prom

Actually, his friends were shocked to find out that he had been keeping quiet the fact that "his place" had plenty of room for a party

There were a few attempted gate crashers (so he's ask that we didn't go along the road to our friend's place until he was sure that no-one else would be trying to come) but he dealt with them on his own brilliantly. It helped that he knew he was leaving Glasgow to go off to Uni so he could tell them to get tae fuck nicely of course

Scots vernacular is the only language I know where a double positive can make a negative. Aye right!

My favourite phrase is ‘yer coats on a shoogly peg’. What a beautiful language!

Pit yer baffies oan, get ben the scullery and gie thon bunkers a dicht.

When my Granda said this we’d all bolt!

Pit yer baffies oan, get ben the scullery and gie thon bunkers a dicht

Brilliant! I’d love to see someone unused to Scots try to untangle that one, it makes perfect sense to me!

I never heard about bunkers until I moved down from the Highlands. Is it an East coast ish thing?
