to think that calling a baby's dummy a tit or a titty is yuk?

[MotherOfNations]

I don't know if this is a u.k wide thing but here in Glasgow so many people call a baby's dummy a tit or titty. It sounds vile .I used to hate it when my little ones had dummies and some old man would bend over the Pram and say " awww baby are you sucking your tit"?

Me too maybenow! And thanks for reminding me of the first bit

I'm sure my dad calls himself a slabber if he spills stuff down his front.

Jaggythistle I made shortbread once and when I realised how much butter goes into it I swore I'd never eat it again.

hmm it sounds easy to mess up but i might try it on your recommendation. and eat it all

oh joy DS2 has just spewed on my arm then done a big loud poo. must dash.

i love making brownies just because it requires a whole pack of butter. recipe on this site for never fail ones is good.

Tablet is dead easy to make. If you keep stirring the whole time you cannae go wrong. Bonus is that folk think you're well clever and are impressed that you've made your own!

If you google it there's a blog with pictures which is really good.

calling anything a tit or titty is yuk.

my brother had a dodie. didn't know where the name came from but the irish connection is likely, as there is irish heritage and my parents' friendship group was mainly irish.

and tablet is wonderful. wonderful.

slavering dick is slivery joe up here :)

i love tablet, but hate it when you buy it and its grainy, should be smooooove and melt away to nothing on your tongue

I say dummy tit. Well my nan really.

Noooo! You have to be able to grind your teeth on tablet. If it's soft, it might as well be fudge.

Pfffft tablet! Irn Bru chewy bars (RIP) all the way!

Dummy tit, was originally dummy teat. I've no idea how or why the pronunciation changed. It's a perfectly innocent, and actually very appropriate, term.

Tell tale tit yer mammy cannae knit
yer daddy cannae go to bed without a dummy tit!

...the ultimate comeback - you jast cannot top that in an argument when you're a child! I can still remember that feeling if someone said it to me before I thought to say it to them....gazzumped! I've even been tempted to use it as an adult!

tablet is soooooooo bad for you, but so tasty.

macaroon bars....even worse for you...even tastier! Also dead easy to make!

Think we should start a new thread about Scottish sweeties.

I'm Scottish (Borders) and never in my life heard it called a tit. Do LOVE tablet..mmmmmmmmm.

whatever the tablet is at Aldi checkout it's pretty good and melty. not keen on the grainy stuff myself.

Mustn't forget that particular Edinburgh delicacy - the DEEP FRIED AFTER EIGHT!

If you are buying shortbread, Deans is the best make. I know the secret of why they're the best but I'm not telling.

I always call it a "dummy tit" in my head. NE Scotland here.

what about lucky tatties, no had one in ages. Not actually sure what it is but its covered in cinnamin.

Er, I fink I read about it ... somewhere. I just hate Edinburger.

But I definitely DID see a poster advertising deep fried mars bars in a chippie opposite the Edinburgh Playhouse.
