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’ve hud Syria, Libya and where next? Alllooooaaaa?”

Deed. Actually nearly pished myself laughing.

Is fizzy juice really that strange to people that aren’t Scottish? To me it describes the juice?! It’s fizzy

Yep, use this all the time. Also dinghy the boss alot 😁

Aaah so it’s the “juice” part?! If I had a pound for how many times a week I say “ do you want a wee drink o juice”

Deid not deed!

Aye chap is Scottish.

Shite tends to be more used by us too I think.

And Scottish insult are second to none!

The Glasgow scale of brawness:

Braw = good looking
Awfie braw = bloody gorgeous
No braw = a bit unfortunate looking
Un-braw = a total minger

Are you from Glasgow?

We used clarty for dirty. Playing in the mud, your hands were clarty. Or mawkit..

So many words for a piggyback in Scotland - I call it a colly back (I’m from Aberdeen) DH is from Falkirk night calls it a callycoad??

We have many debates about the correct use of words, a long running one is that he doesn’t believe in the doughring being a word. Turns out it’s a northern thing - but it’s makes sense, it’s not a doughnut if it’s a ring with a hole in the middle!

And I’m genuinely so suprised that outwith is a Scottish word - explains why Microsoft Words spellcheck hates it! What other word could you use though?

Singingitoverandoverandover no Edinburgh although I’ve been closer to Glasgow for many years, so I’ve probably picked up some weegie-isms

yetalkshitehen my hometown made famous by the one and only garreh

BabySharkDooDooDooDoo you must be so proud! I love him

My current hometown isn’t famous for much. Nothing of note anyway.

Huv ye goat any ginger bottles tae take tae the shoap? (We called all glass bottles ginger bottles)

We can sound pretty aggresive - meeting yer pals - awrite cunts or whatsup cunts

A can of juice can mean any fizzy drink.

Ginger can mean any fizzy drink. I hadn't known that one - dh taught me - but there again, he tells me I'm not a proper Glaswegian as I was brought up in Bearsden/Milngavie

Outwith is technically not a Scottish word - it's just that we still continue to use it with its original meaning (eg the Easter hymn "There is a green hill far far away, outwith a city wall" ) while the eejits the "ordinary" English speakers have reduced their vocabulary forgotten it

I made my English work colleagues re-introduce it

As an English person I can confirm it’s the ‘juice’ bit that is confusing.
Juice is only fruit extract, never fizzy or for diluting. (That is fizzy pop or just a fizzy drink and squash)

There is a green hill far far away, outwith a city wall

It’s ‘without’ not outwith in the hymn.

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.

Lots of Scots words have Dutch origins. Scone is another.

We used 'away an boil yer heid' at school, someone said does anyone actually say it.
Have we had 'peely wally' ?
We use fair meaning very, eg I wis fair knackered,, where I'm from.

up here in the frozen north, we don't have seagulls, we have scurries. if you're nay careful they'll be awa wi yer chips.

giein it laldie, anyone?

and at school in Edinburgh scran was our equivalent of the Enid Blyton slap up feast.

senecafalls - you can tell it's a long time since I've been to church and sung that hymn - on reflection, probably well over 40 years

The teachers must have explained to us that it meant the same as "outwith", ie outside and my childhood memory has conflated the two.

Anyway, myy- -admittedly old editions of the OED and " Not very New Collins Dictionaries both say "outwith" - Scottish preposition meaning "outside". It's obvious, innit

When DS1 first started school he came home one afternoon and as he was hanging up his coat:
DS1 - "you know mum, there are other words for coat? There's jacket..."
me - "yes, that's right"
DS1 "...and there's jaykit!"
me: "I think we'll stick with coat..." :o

waxon that’s brilliant!
What they pick up at school can be hilarious and not so hilarious
