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!

We use how instead of why.......and winching doesn't involve heavy machinery.😘

Galvantula, we had coal bunkers in the West of Scotland too.

Incidentally your name reminded me of gallivanting, and my mum and dad would often go out for a wee donner - nothing to do with kebabs.

Bunkers=work top in the kitchen.

Never heard a worktop referred to as a bunker in the West of Scotland. Must be a regional thing.

Up to high doe means really stressed or worked up. Away and bile yer heid, go away and boil your head, means get lost.

Our teacher at school would say to us after the weekend, “ did you get a click” and we would say “you mean a trap”. A boyfriend.

Poke = sex
Lumber = snog

Oh my god, the sex words and phrases! 😨
A poke/fingering.
A lickout.
A gobble.
A chug.
A jump.
🤣🤣

A gobble 🤮

I think there are more words for being drunk. A bit like the old saying of the inuit having 30 words for snow...

Stanley Baxter's "Parliamo Glasgow" on youtube brings back memories.

Loving these my user name says it all 💩

When I was a 19 year old assistante in France (part of my degree) one of my classes asked me to give them a class on slang - which included all the expressions for being drunk.

They did also ask me to translate "con" (a mild insult in French)

Is it true that we Scots are the only ones to refer to “the big light “ as in switch the big light off and just have the lamps on.

It’s a Yorkshire thing too. Confused the fuck out of DH when I first said it.

Heehaw is a fantastic word to have in a sentence. Im scottish and love using it

Big light here also and bunkers too

Fa ya's ye = who are your relations ie your mum and dad

Yirded or fool = dirty

Bas = rug

Quines and Loons = girls and boys

Plooter/ plootrin =especially when waters concerned

Taraneese / taraneesin = annoy/ annoying something or someone

And many many more

my name says it all...

playpiece anyone?

my Mum still has coal, however growing up family members didn't get central heating until 2005 in Scotland North Lanarkshire. (my mum owns her house, family members don't)

Dear god, I never realised 'outwith' was Scottish. Explains a lot - 30 years working in London and it was often questioned or edited to 'without' when used in business cases....... I just assumed they were idiots

Apologies if mentioned before, but I give you a word I use almost daily, as I am always in a right mogre. My house is permanently in a mogre, while my garden is a midden and my fridge is a complete tip. My handbag is currently (and usually) in a guddle.

Ahm sair fecht, tbh, this constant striving to be perjink.

My bairns still call it a playpiece!!

...should I ever get the furniture polish out, I will be giving everything a wee skoosh. Not to be confused with an exam or other task which occasionally turns out to be easier than expected......an absolute skoosh, in fact. 😀

It’s funny I’m trying to think of more but they are so everyday to me that I’m not sure what’s Scottish and what’s not normal toeveyoems ears 😂
I still call it the back lobby aswell.
Kids have a playpiece
Cundy is a drain
Coleybucky (sp) is a backie.. which may also be Scottish or made up?! 😆

And if I ever go on Masterchef I will proudly present some

Skittery Cheese

Please tell me that is a dish that resonates with someone else 😀
