Keep getting a sponsor thread shown to me - ‘You can shoogle it like a pram’ - that’s lovely but I have no idea what that means and I clicked the link and still don’t know…

I had no idea it was just a Scottish word!
"His jacket is on a shoogly peg" is one of my favourite turns of phrase - for people who are doing something a bit ropily and are about to be found out...

Out of interest, do you know what “squint” means, when it’s not referring to an eye condition?

It means “crooked”, as in “that picture’s squint”. I only found out recently that it’s not used outside (outwith 😀) Scotland. Took me 30 years living in England to realise!

Really? I thought it was quite common (live in Scotland but I've lived allover). I use quite often as my pictures on the wall seem to be squint regularly 😄

I grew up in South West Scotland, and when we were losing our baby teeth, we said we had a shoogly tooth.

And yes, mums used to shoogle the pram to soothe baby.

There's a band called Shooglenifty which is where I've heard the word before 😂
