'Scottish' words in other countries

[Icantremembermyusername]

Inspired by a thread on here about apple and pear squash (aka as diluting juice North of the border), what other Scottish words or phrases have been met with blank looks?
For me, it was 'jotters' (books you jot things down in, so essentially exercise books) and 'gutties' (black plimsolls for primary school PE).
Any others? Been here so long I've probably forgotten most!

Eeksy peaksy is a phrase I use with my DC when they all have the same amount of biscuits or sweets for example. Everyone's the same. That's that.😂

When my brother asked his Yorkshire niece if she wanted to clap the dog she gave it a round of applause

Outwith means excepting to me.
Outwith the usual boundaries/ expectations/ rules

My DH now calls his flat cap his bunnet.
If something is seriously dirty/disgusting he has also started to call it bogging.
My Pa still calls a kitchen a scullery.

Dh and I have been asked what language we are speaking a couple of times when travelling abrad. One person said they thought we were Scandinavian. We don't even speak in very broad Scots at all.

I’m not Scottish but have lived here (near Glasgow) for a long time.
I love these -
wabbit - if you look a bit pale or sickly
to have the boak - if you feel a bit sick
“that gives me the boak”
braw - really good

Does 'wabbit' not mean exhausted/tired?
That's how my mum uses the word

@emummy
We use "Up to high doh " in our house - Dublin Ireland. Meaning very very busy.

Probably lol, I used to get told I looked wabbit, clearly I looked worse than I thought!

Lookin a wee bit Wabbit, could be a kid who's tired or coming down with something. A kids who's normally active just sitting, maybe a bit pale.

I don't think I've ever heard some describe themselves as feelin wabbit, 🤔

My mum used to say she felt wabbit fairly often. That's what she gets for having 5 kids

We said it when someone was all in a tizzy or throwing a hissy fit. Dad used to say ‘wabbit’
For tired/worn out.

'Up to high doh' means getting worked up and highly stressed in my world

That's what I'd say too. But I suppose being really busy stressed at work could also cause someone to be "up to high doh".

Wabbit oot. You're exhausted.

Like a fart in a trance - anyone else?

In Glasgow dogging school
In Ayrshire plunking school - had never heard of the plunkyman!

The puggies - slot machines

Peelie wallie - off colour

Stoatin - raining heavily/ very drunk

Has anyone else ever heard of chonnering? With the meaning to nag on and on or whinge on and on (like mithering)

Nope that's a new one on me but it sounds like it's come from the gaelic

The phrase “did ye, aye?” Which means either you don’t think someone did what they said or you think they’re being boastful or pretentious.

Nipping meaning to kiss- as a teen it was common for boys to shout at girls “do you wanna nip ma pal?”

Lumber - amorous endeavour…

Scottish DH insists this is a turnip.
I've taken to calling it neap - at least that way we both know what we're talking about.

It's a swede but in my childhood I would.have called it a turnip too

Turnip or neep to me too, till I moved to England and was informed its a swede.
