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!

I'm also Irish and yeah we say turn off the big light!

Hehaw reminds me of this video!

Collybucky is definitely a piggy back! DP and his family call it something else, I’m waiting for DSD to text me back as DP can’t remember now

Skittery cheese

A piggy back , that’s the phrase I was looking for! Struggling to reverse interpret here 😂

We call it a cuddy back in Dundee

You’re a .. munter/radge/spraff/braw/tidy
And “ that’s shan/youre shan”

Looking peely waly

Totally reeking

And is fizzy juice a Scottish thing? I was in England last month and asked what kinds of fizzy juice they had and she was baffled by “kinds” and corrected me to flavours aswell

My DH calls it a kiddy-cud. He grew up in a village just 3 miles from me. (In Scotland) I call it a kiddy back!
He also says “dingy-woosh” for ignoring someone

Ya fud

Do you want a chum to the shop?

A cuddy back that’s it! Well seen it’s Saturday night and she’s out with her pals, still no reply!

Does anyone know what “baffies” are?
And what is “clarting”?

Baffies are slippers I’m reliably informed by Angus born DP!

Understand you perfectly. (am Scottish though)

Aye we use to “dingy” someone as ignore them in southwest coast of Scotland, and cuddy/coley back 🙂

Fizzy juice is definitely a Scottish thing. My English friends crease up when I say it.

Also, a cup of tea/coffee is a cuppy rather than a cuppa in our house, another Angus import I think.

Married to a Dutch man here, and have found some things to be the same, such as stot which means the same in Dutch. Also they have boodschappen which translates as messages, and they also use it the same as in scots.

@stellacorona another fan of your mum’s books 🙂 I remember when my gran was a teacher, Aileen Paterson visited the school she worked in & my gran got signed books for me & my brother. I’ve loved sharing with my children & my brother is excited about sharing his copy with his newborn baby.
PS I seem to remember that in one book there was a takeaway called “Wun Tun Poo” which my brother & I thought was hilarious as kids

And the press? Do you put the messages in the press in the scully? I feel homesick now

And is fizzy juice a Scottish thing?

I was getting food in London and the guy at the counter was baffled when I asked what cans of juice they sold.

Collybucky is definitely a piggy back!

It’s a cuddy back where I grew up!

Clype/stop clyping

Go in for yer pals/chap the door. Ischap scottish? Chap door run

Fizzy juice!? Do you mean ginger?

Re dingy. Anyone remember the classic Gary Tank Commander when he asked Nicola Sturgeon if she would deal with or dingy Donald Trump?

Ginger is only irn bru isn’t it? Or what passes for it lately after the recipe change

And is fizzy juice a Scottish thing?

Yes. In England juice only refers to the liquid pressed from fruit.
