I think it is.
And as such, tis my favourite scots word.

dinnae git in a fankle aboot it - dont worry
pieces - sandwich
messages - groceries/shopping
my bit - my house eg want to come to my bit

fashed - aye scottish dinnae fash aboot it, i cannae be fashed

Mum has just informed me that her next door neighbour has got a new "bidie-in". (Live-in partner, if you haven't heard of it!)

Bidie-in Aye love it.used to work with a wee bachle who referred to ma as "living oo'er the broom" living together

Haven't read all posts but have we had 'mogre' yet?

Means 'a mess'. Can be used to describe a place, a situation, someone's appearance etc.

a new word to me.mental note must try use

Think it might be an Ayrshire word SM. I hadn't heard it before I moved there and I had lived in both the East and West Coasts and also in the Central Belt previously.

Sometimes it is the only word that will do.

Clipe! perfect for DS who is turning into a tell tale!
And I do remember the ryhme about Keich too....my papa taught me it!

My first flat had a plettie. Basically instead of being in a close it had a little railing outside the front door, if that makes sense

We had the misfortune today to have had a conversation with a "chantie razzler"...

Stramash.

Hoochmagandie

Dittany - I always thought a piece was a sandwich. My favourite being a jam one.

Ta SM - I'll use simmit from now on.

Ginnae nae dae that

And sangwiches instead of sandwiches

Message line instead of shopping list

My Mum hated it when we said messages for shopping.

Grampa always me his wee porogondy (spelling atrocious, I'm sure it'll be an old Gaelic word)

or wee lassie

He also used to tell people who wouldn't speak to him in the street to go boil their faces!

This has brought back many memories. My mother's family were highlanders, so things like scunnered, dreich, bourach, amen't I, were words I grew up with.

The other one I always got teased about at school was pronouncind Wednesday as Wed-ns-day rather than the Welsh Wensday
