everyone asks "where's the wean?" instead of their actual name Smile

So what's your "you know your scottish" thing? and favourite word.

My favourite word is Sleekit or Glaiket Grin

When any cold drink that isn't water, alcoholic or milky is called juice.

fizzy juice = coke or something.

Laughing at all of these.

I love...Ben the room, bawbag, and hoachin'.

Taps aff is fairly new to the Scots' lexicon but yes museumum 18 degrees is considered positively balmy in these here parts indeed.

Sleepyfergus · 14/08/2015 23:13

Bahookie. As in "mind yer bahookie".

A nicer way to say "arse". Or "erse".

BloodyDogHairs · 14/08/2015 23:13

I used to love waiting on the Bon Accord juice delivery when I was wee!

There used to be coal bunkers in the kitchen. The lid was used as a work surface.

mayaknew · 14/08/2015 23:21

Having to remember not to ask for a "slice roll"

tabulahrasa · 14/08/2015 23:21

Ginger's mostly a Glaswegian thing though...most other places that's just fizzy juice.
