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!

Anyone mentioned barket for dirty?

She'll be drinking Tenants Lager when she comes
She'll be drinking Tenants Lager when she comes
She'll drinking Tenants Lager, the stuff that makes you stagger
Drinking Tenants Lager when she comes!

My mother had an LP of Glasgow Street Songs which had many a brilliant tune.

A neighbour used to drive us about and always sang in the car:
Oh Woodbine's a rerr wee fag
Gee's a light, gee's a light, gee's a light
Woodbine's a rerr wee faaag
If yerr wantin' cancer
Woodbine's yerr answer
Woodbine's a rerr wee faaaaaag!

Gee's a light.

Happy days!

A MAN WALKS INTO A BUTCHER'S ON A COLD DAY... … and welcomes the sight of an electric heater with both bars on behind the counter.

Perusing the meats, he asks: "Is that your Ayrshire bacon?"

"Naw, " replies the butcher, "it's only my hauns am warming."

It means fuck all.

"Ye can push yer other granny, cos she's just your faither's mammy" :-)
Maternal grandma had a real downer on paternal (Irish) granny, and took wicked and pointed delight in teaching us this one. It's the small pleasures...

There are twa coos in a field. How do you know which one’s on holiday?

It’s the one with the wee calf.

I have done heehaw today but DS was doing a tumble the cran....now who knows what THAT means....?!

Tumble the cran... not a scooby. Is it the same as tumbling your wilkies?

What is tumbling winlkles?!

Ah, this brings back memories of Glasgow. Probably said about me.

2doubles 😂 I can never retell that in my RP accent. 😭

Philomena - I have the same problem

Tumbling your wilkies is doing a forward roll.

I've never been able to tumble my wilkies. 😭

Ah in that case, yes it is the same - a tumble the cran is a forwards roll. Wtf is a wrinkle then?!

I still use loads of Scottish expressions: we have skelfs, I break a fiver and get smash.

What's a wilkie? I sort of imagined it was the same as a puddin, as in "draw your puddins thegither" - innards, I guess. But the Dictionary of the Scots Language reckons it means wildcat. Tumbling the wildcat. I can't see a cat wanting to do anything like that...

I remember DM thinking the 2 elder DC, who were born in Glasgow, had got "l want a shot" from me, I explained that I'd got it from them, as I've only ever heard it in Scotland, I don't think she believed me.

”Is that yer Ayrshire bacon?”

Love it.

the one with the wee calf. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I nominate this for classics.

My maw is singing the millionaire song now

DS does a rather good 'ak-awaaay'. He says he is English though so there is no hope for the boy.

Woman to Scotsman: What do you wear under your kilt?

Jock: Put your hand up and feel.

Woman: Oh! It’s gruesome.

Jock: Put your hand up again, it’s gruesome more.

Glaswegian takes his new lass round for tea, and introduces her to his dad for the first time.
“This is Amanda”

“WHAAAAAT??”

My kids say things like "mummy, Dsis is giving me snash again! She's talking mince!" It's brilliant because they both sound as English as Peppa Pig
