'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!

Bauchle
Choochter

Semmit for vest.

Oxter and messages are also used in Ireland. I do love the word Oxter. I assume it means armpit in Scottish English too?

Single sausage = 2 battered sausages without chips
Sausage supper = 2 battered Sausages with chips

Yes. Great word

Stank = Drain

Ooh, piece, yes!

Jeelly piece, play piece.

I'm English and the first time I went "home" with my Scottish husband we went shopping and I was asked if I wanted a poke, not realising the shop assistant meant a bag.
I'm now pretty fluent in glaswegian and DH is likewise in Bristolian.

FWIW- the proper name for sports shoes is daps.

Ha, I remember trying to order a fish supper in Devon, where my husband is from, and everyone looking at me like I'd grown an extra head.

When I was at Uni in England, I said to my housemate 'is this picture squint?' and was met with an absolutely baffled look. I hadn't realised until that point that squint, meaning crooked, is a Scottishism!

My (London) kids regularly get look confused when I use "skive", "clype" or "nyaff"...

Minerals for soft drink. Though this might be more Irish than Scottish?

Ya "big numpty" for person who has just done something silly.
Jag for injection, jaggy nettles too.
Give it a wee shoogle, meaning gentle shake.

That's not scottish, we grew up saying that in England and it's a classic Peter Kay saying. I asked my friends English kids what they wanted on their pieces and they looked at me blankly!
