My mums neighbour used to call her DH "BawJaws"!

FG - yes, I know the word "loupin'" I'ts not one I tend to sue (although I like it) as with my posh accent, it would just sound strange.

Bexie, do you mean jobbie as in 'pooh' ?
he needs a jobbie = he needs to do a pooh ?

"ya great big jobbie".....
Other wise "you great big shite".

Does anyone remember Billy Collony's sketch "The jobbie weecher" (soft "Scottish" ch as in "loch")?

"bawjaws" seemed fairly commonplace actually "hae yae seen old bawjaws aboot"

dh calls dd "heid the baw".

as in "Wheres heid the baw"

makes me larf every time

and he calls me Doll. im kind of used to it

manky we say "bawbags" more

OOOh, NP, I remember "heid the baw"...my papa called my brother that, but I forgot til you said.
And we had our holiday outings on the "costa del Cumbrae" as we called the clyde coast!

Aye, heid the ba' is used in this house loads. And bugger lugs. And Rab Ha' the Glesgie Glutton.

"who ate ma roll" "who d'y think, Rab Ha' the ....."

"who drank ma juice" "aye, bugger lugs o'er there"

"right, well I'm off"

I've lived in Scotland my whole life and never heard the term bawbags/ bawjaws, what does it mean ? Have we had gypitt, not sure about the spelling. It means to look stupid.

This must be the best section yet. We used to play bools, (marbles) the hole you rolled the marble into was called the kypie. You fired your marble at someone elses marble and if you hit it in a certain way that was a phaynay. Hopscotch was called beddies.

I've never heard any of these words deste. Where are you from?

Bawbag = ballbag = scrotum

Interestingly enough, this is a direct translation of the phrase they use in holland for the exact same insult. (see my post a couple of days ago about this)

Trust me to ask that. I'm from Aberdeen Mawbroon but its definately not used up here.

And wheek

As in use a cotton bud to wheek out your ear.

Anyone said bachle yet as in "hes a right wee bachle" not sure about spelling.
And gies a shot instead of turn.

Does anyone remember 'shengus'?
As in "thats pure shengus, by the way!"

Hey, squaresausage! where have you been hiding!? How are you doing?
