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!

Yes, it means nothing. English with Scottish relatives here!

I use it a lot. Said with a broad Scottish accent, it is rather beautiful.

For your next trick, find something in your office that's squint.

Squint is terribly posh, I prefer squinty.

Oh bonus points for squinty!

We are Scottish but for some reason don’t say clapping the dog, a friend said it to my son when he was about 3 and he did just that. Clapped his hands at the dog 😂😂

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.

I know it. But im also Scottish 😂

I wanted to name our dog - clap the dog. I was over ruled!

Scottish too . Yes , it means she does nothing . Lazy.

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.

Us and the Irish, I think.

Said it once down south and had folk thinking I was having episodes

I use big light as well !

Hawd on a minute - is squint Scottish? I thought it was a real word.

That lazy midden does hee haw bugger aw!

No, I’m English (Midlands) and ‘the big light’ is commonly used around here. And in a lot of northern England I believe.

Hee haw buckshee is one I use! In fact I’ve used it on here today

Aye “the big light” is definitely a thing too.

I’d love an English translation of “scunnered”. Such a beautifully descriptive word! And dreich too!

I live near Scotland and I've watched Still Game, so I understand it

Midlands here - we use "the big light"

She was fIr scunnered when her man said haud yer wheesht ya crabbit wumman.

Londoner here and I say big light.

What does clapping the dog mean?

*fair

Next week I shall introduce clapping the dog

Surely you should be introducing "clapping the dug"

clapping the dog is stroking it

Is it like Nelson in The Simpsons does?
