I just LOVE "glaikit" There is no English equivalent!

Have we "spoken" before? My pil live where you are, well further along under the bridge. Unless you mean the one in Menzieshill!

I am, but I live somewhere altogether more teuchtery now - hence the name

I meant at school, and yes, it was in Menzieshill.

eek - how old are you?

31

Och you are only a bairn. I thought you might have known my exbf, if you went to Menzieshill High or Powrie. Perhaps his wee brother but then he would still be about 2 years older than you, so probably not.

stookie, boak, scunnered. Also very fond of 'I cannie be fashed.' aka 'I can't be bothered'.

Poor DH when he gets home on Thursday; I'll hae turned back into a wee scots wifie.

Cleg - beastie that gives nasty bite, bigger than a midge. (or a love bite!)

This isn't a scottish word but when DS1(3) gets a bit mad after having too much sugar/excitement he runs around saying "I'm barney - I'm Barney McBarney from Scotland"

He means barmey. God knows where he's got that from

Stonker !

nugget

slaver

haver

baffies

coory in - come for a cuddle

pokey hat - icecream cone

clatty - dirty

right I have to ask this...

when I was growing up in a particular Perthshire town the local's had a saying for when they needed to express surprise/shock/incredulation and I never got around to asking exactly what it meant and if it was indeed some kind of profanity.

They would say "ged dear man" (g as in green). iirc, the "dear" was the part with the main inflection.

I think they use Ged in this part of the Vale of Strathmore that I've now moved to, but not in that same phrase.

Anyone else know of this?
