'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!

Bunkers = kitchen worktop
Ginger = fizzy juice
The one I get funny looks at is sausages in your steak pie at new year 😂

My Irish partner understands "messages", "footer", "skoosh" etc. But it drives him up the wall when I refer to coke or irn bru or diluting juice as juice. I never over him a drink of juice any more

He is also bewildered by my use of "circle" when giving road directions - though appreciate that's much more specific to Dundee than just Scottish!

Love outwith and use it a lot

Ben - as in it’s Ben there (in the other room)

A half. A glass of whisky

Youse

Going in a huff

The pronunciation of the letter J

Goonie (nightdress)

Doorstop (end of a plain loaf)

Fritter rolls are not universal, they don’t know what their missing

hauf an a hauf

Is that no a thing?

@ParkheadParadise

Making a piece n jam with the plain loaf outsider.

Plain and pan loaves!

And if someone is “pan loafy” it means they are posh.

Press - cupboard

Skittery - fiddly.

Brew - unemployment benefit

Scaffie - bin man

Jotters too - I taught in Spain for a year and hadn't realised that other places in the world talk about exercise books or note books, so there's a whole generation of Spanish children (grown ups now) talking about their English jotter.

I LOVE this!

I'm loving all these!
I had a plain loaf recently and DC asked for the 'outsiders'. I obliging toasted the crusts while my English friend asked what 'outsiders' were!

@AngelicaElizaAndPeggy mentioned ‘the’ cold and ‘a’ cold. I’d love to more more about this. My husband and I bickered about this so much that I can no longer recollect which one he thought ‘correct’. It’s like when you say a word so often that it sounds alien - I can’t remember what I naturally say.

Flat sausage gets blank looks outside of Scotland.😂

I do like square (or lorne) sausage

I don’t think anyone has mentioned cleaning out the roans for cleaning the gutters. I also like the morn’s morn for tomorrow morning or the morn’s nicht for tomorrow night.

Where else would mugs live?

In the press, of course.

Sauce as in salt and sauce very different to ketchup or brown sauce

Is that not an Edinburgh thing?

Is it? I don’t know. But remember being met with blank looks north of the border

DH uses ‘heel’ to deceive the crusts of the bread. Also a calls a council housing estate a ‘scheme’.

Hirpiling or to hirple (unsure of spelling!) meaning limping. As in “she’s fair hirpling as she twisted her ankle”

Lang may your lum reek (wi’ other folks’ coal)

When I moved to Fife from another part of Scotland the word baffies was new to me. Also Di for Grandad is common in Fife. One which I use is if my DD is cooking or baking and asks me how much oil, milk etc to put in, I'd reply a dod. It's like a glug of milk, a dod of milk. Not sure if that's a Scottish word or I've made it up but she understands what it means

Oose or oos- the bobbly bits on clothing items or what collects on the skirting boards if you've not hoovered for a while.

Also, and sorry to lower the tone but walloper or dobber.
