all faves of mine and remind me of mum

Saltire, never heard anyone doing that but that's an Aussie thing, remember it from my Neighbours addict days, ah them was the days!

Glaswegians are also known to stick no on the end of sentences. Like 'ah wiz at ra dancin oan saturday and goat a lumber, no.'

How could I have forgotten FUD

I'm a southern softie but my Grandma was a Scot. She used to use 'glaikit' too. She had a great turn of phrase, once describing a woman's (awful) hair style on the telly as looking like 'ripped oot wul'

DH uses greeting a lot, probably because DD2 is a prize greeter.

Macdog, jings and crivens should always be followed by help ma boab.

gscrym! hello! how are you?

I like

Baffies (slippers)

and Dookers (swimming trunks)

My dh is Scottish, and although we live in England, ds (aged 7) always calls them baffies and dookers (much to the confusion of some of his friends).

We also have a sign on the door of the loo which says "Cludgie" (supplied by the ILs) which caused great interest in one of ds's friend's mums (who is Iranian).

Have we had 'bourach' yet? Means a bloody mess as in 'This room is a bourach'

Not sure about sp!

Have lived out of Scotland too long, and am forgetting the words. Will have to buy that book!

Not bad SirDigby, are you a name changer, I'm not familiar with that name.

Another scots thing, DS always waves cheerie bye at my mums. I'm also trying to remember his scottish spider poem for more words.

The most important and feared scottish word is midgies.

Dooker. I love that one. Isn't it for a cossie though not just trunks?

an on that note meep a tin of ginger is irn bru and NOT ginger ale AND a sausage should be square

I was just thinking about you today, had my boy at Callander park for a walk and look round the house. If you fancy a walk with pooch and kiddies, let me know.

Or should that be bairns.

We know the Oaksters as Oxtirs (same thing i guess)

Yes dookers we use for any swimming attire (male or female). Very useful!

lol at fud, and its undiluted relation, the 'pure fud'.

i love the past tense of greet... gret. 'she gret aw the way hame oan the bus'.
